In the strategy video game Plague Inc., players are tasked with creating and evolving a deadly pathogen to infect and wipe out the world’s population. The choice of starting country can significantly impact the game’s difficulty and success rate, with certain countries offering advantages or disadvantages based on factors such as population density, climate, and healthcare systems.
One of the most popular starting countries among experienced players is Saudi Arabia. Its strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe provides easy access to multiple continents for rapid disease transmission. Additionally, Saudi Arabia’s relatively high population density and weak healthcare system make it a vulnerable target for an outbreak.
