The Strategic Petroleum Reserve of East Texas Oil Field is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by just a puppet with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, smutty television, and complete lack of public education.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, coyotes with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. East Texas Oil Field's national animal is the coyote, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Petrolism.
