The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by John Ross Ewing Jr with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.387 billion Oilers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, 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 25,234 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 Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 888,945 Petrodollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,057,012 per year while the poor average 76,068, a ratio of 66.5 to 1.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, Ewing Oil Co is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. 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 166,618^th in the world and 146^th in Texas for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 37.81 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
