The 'yes' vote is only if there is not already a global network of resource exchange set up. If every country is required to donate resources to a central world bank of sorts and then distributed equally to each country based on the population size it supports, then points for unequal distribution of natural resources among countries would not be necessary. If such a system did not exist, then it seems favorable to give more points to those countries with less resources.
It seems as though a country's lack of resources would lead to less purchasing power in a world market. Therefore, distributing extra points to those without resources would equalize the playing field for these countries. Equalizing the playing field in this way would allow the measurement of efficiency for government policies and economic strategies to occur most easily. Without distributing points and allowing countries with more natural resources to have the unquestioned privilege means that resource-rich countries would not need to invest as much into securing the most efficient policies on how to use said resources or how to ensure sustainability.
