Aren't Arabs split into many qabil like us? Imagine a somali state being called "Majeerteen Somalia" or some shit. Everyone would get pissed. So how come Arabs in sauida are alright with being named after one tribe.

They should have named that place Qurayshi or Arabia alone
I got no clue about the Arab tribes. Arabia would've been more suitable or something along those lines. Qurayshi wouldn't work since Saudis aren't Quraysh right?
 
Itโ€™s because the House of Al Saud created the state and named it after themselves. Just like how the Ottoman Empire was named after the House of Osman

Before they discovered oil majority of the people were poor, but now they have a good standard of living. Since the citizens are happy with the way the Al Saud family has governed they probably donโ€™t have a problem with the country being named after them
 
Same reason why England is called England. The Angles tribe dominated the other tribes.

A lot of countries are named after the tribe that dominated the area. This is what would inevitably happened in the Somali penisula if colonialism hadn't occurred. The damn Cadaans didn't let nature take its course as it did in Europe and now it created similarly powerful tribes with no one single clan capable of overtaking them all without external support.
 
They established the state, and they are the ruling family. Saudis are not full of kibir like Somalis, they do not mind a royal family ruling them

Meesha awood bey ku heystaan if the other Arab tribes had the will to overtake the Sauds they would.

No they are far too civilized for that. They are satisfied with what the house of Saud has brought to the peninsula in the last few centuries no need for usurpation. Somalis need to take notes
 
Because the Saudis xooged all the other tribes back then into submission and created a state that lasted long enough for tribal sentiment take a back seat to nationhood. It could have happened back in the 19th century if the Daroods or Hawiye conquered everyone and it could have happened if Somalia didn't collapse into civil war. Afghanistan is in a similar situation

Firstly because the Saudis are not tribal like the Somalis
Then the Sauds had an alliance with most powerful Arab tribes, such as Mutair, Otaiba Al-Dawasir, Ajman
I personally asked Saudis why you love Al Saud and they said: In the past, the Arabian Peninsula was full of tribal wars, plunder and theft everywhere Al Saud was the one who stopped all this, united the people, and built this rich country for them
Somalis if a man from another tribe comes to their land, even if he will make them rich, they will fight him. Somalis do not know what loyalty

The Sauds are a family, not a tribe. They do not have large numbers and their tribe is not a large tribe, but they have earned the respect of the Arab tribes Because of their fight against the Ottomans and Egyptians

Because saudi/Gulfies are civilized and smart
They knew there was huge money to be made and that squabbling over qabil was not worth it,also its part thanks to their thousand years of civilzation
Unlike us pastoralists who only experiend governance and civilazation 70 years ago
