Yemen is below Saudi Arabia to the left; it is 203,369 square miles and has the population of 13.9 million people. The biggest ethnic group there is Arab which is laterally about 98% of the population. There are only 2 religions in Yemen and they are both Muslim religions, Shi’l is about 56% of the populations religion and Sunni is probably 44% of the population. Yemen is the least urbanized country in the Middle East which is probably why the percent of literate men and women are the lowest in the Middle East also. Yemen is also the poorest country which isn’t that hard to believe when you know the percentage of urbanization, the literacy of the rate men and women there and how many people that live there, which isn’t that much.
