The Probean economy, worth 220 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.

Probe's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
