Jericoke:
Honestly, I've been surprised to see 'petro state' races without one popping up in Saudi Arabia. Saudis have been involved in the sport in ownership roles, the country has a cosmopolitan population, and has a strong 'car culture'.
I can't say I support Saudi Arabia as a regime, but wouldn't be the worst place the F1 circus goes. I know the FIA tries to stay apolitical, but I'd support a 10 race season if they wanted to keep things 'ethical'.

I'd be hopeful that the track would be a good one as it appears it's actually had an ex-F1 driver consulted on it!

If memory serves, Michael Schumacher consulted on the design of Malaysia. I thought that was unfair, since he was an active driver at the time!

Its Alexander Wurz who besides being an ex F1 driver (Benetton, McLaren and Williams driver plus two-time Le Mans winner) is the current GP drivers association chairman so you would like to think he has some idea what he's talking about.
