The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by John Ross Ewing Jr with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, avowedly heterosexual populace, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 28.608 billion Oilers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The minute, corrupt, well-organized 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 25,518 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 892,011 Petrodollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,782,515 per year while the poor average 55,029, a ratio of 105 to 1.
The world still seems flat to some people in space, John Ross Ewing Jr has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. 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 48,352nd in the world and 82nd in Texas for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,320 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
