The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by John Ross Ewing Jr with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.578 billion Oilers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dallas. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Oiler economy, worth an astonishing 34,203 trillion Petrodollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 961,364 Petrodollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 7,513,470 per year while the poor average 31,248, a ratio of 240 to 1.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, the smell of napalm in the morning is usually alongside grilled Budweiser Ferret, and charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ewing Oil Co's national animal is the Budweiser Ferret, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Holy Capitalism.

Ewing Oil Co is ranked 414^th in the world and 1^st in Texas for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 23,482.61 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
