The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co

“In J.R. We Trust”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Barnes-Free Conglomerate of Ewing Oil Co is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by John Ross Ewing Jr with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.602 billion Oilers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

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 34,220 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 961,192 Petrodollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,896,567 per year while the poor average 248,666, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, vehicular homicide by Oiler ambassadors is a leading cause of death throughout the world's capital cities, employees are told they can avoid traffic jams by starting work at 4 AM, and the secret ingredient is love (and MSG). 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 2,920^th in the world and 3^rd in Texas for Most Patriotic, with 88.61 flags saluted per person per day.
