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 otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 24.557 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 Law & Order, Industry, 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 19,932 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 Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 811,687 Petrodollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,815,121 per year while the poor average 102,750, a ratio of 37.1 to 1.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, home education can sometimes be a load of bullocks, the Oiler Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", and nose plugs are the latest Oiler fashion accessory. 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 175,183^rd in the world and 182^nd in Texas for Most Inclusive, scoring 2.84 on the Mandela-Wollstonecraft Non-Discrimination Index.
