The Republic of VereX Probe is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 928 million VereX Probeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The thriving VereX Probean economy, worth 63.9 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 68,843 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,027 per year while the poor average 18,752, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, museums offer moralization or your money back, there's a bustling black market for vegetables, and VereX Probe has been greatly criticised for its isolationist policies. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VereX Probe's national animal is the giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

VereX Probe is ranked 91,316^th in the world and 286^th in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
