The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by John Ross Ewing Jr with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.317 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business government 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 33,828 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 Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 957,866 Petrodollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,369,905 per year while the poor average 54,962, a ratio of 115 to 1.

Students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, the government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, the government blames all suspicious phenomena on flying saucers, and the Budweiser Ferret stadiums are open 24/7. 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 305,396th in the world and 95th in Texas for Most Cultured, scoring 6 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
