The Energy of the Future of Schlumberger is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Olivier Le Peuch with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.005 billion roughnecks enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Houston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Schlumbergerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,197 trillion barrels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 319,547 barrels, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,087,669 per year while the poor average 19,289, a ratio of 108 to 1.

Children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime is totally unknown. Schlumberger's national animal is the dinosaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Schlumberger is ranked 13,621^st in the world and 329^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 106 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
