The Incorporated States of Probe is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working population of 4.14 billion Probeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 23.1%.

The Probean economy, worth 239 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,958 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Probe's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Probe is ranked 153,329^th in the world and 70^th in Alliance of Storage Power for Largest Populations, with 4.14 billion capita.
