It's a good question. If that were the case, I would have expected to also see other oil rich countries at the top of those rankings.

Norway is uniquely located among those, though.

It’s uniqueness is more how they manage their petrol dollars through a government investment fund rather than subsidizing government services directly or giving back the money to buy popular support like you see in Alaska.

Yes, well managed indeed! Far superior to what the Canadians did with their oil wealth. The Norwegians negotiated a good price for their oil. The Canadians practically gave it away. https://thetyee.ca/Series/2012/08/01/Norway-Petro-Wealth-Ser...
