The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by John Ross Ewing Jr with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.457 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dallas. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material. Crime is moderate. Ewing Oil Co's national animal is the Budweiser Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is the Holy Capitalism, and its currency is the Petrodollar.

Ewing Oil Co is ranked 3rd in Texas and 80th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
