The Republic of Jeff Probst is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The quiet, industrious population of 3.024 billion Jeff Probstians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jeff Probstian economy, worth 141 trillion Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,773 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the same 3024 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jeff Probst's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Jeff Probst is ranked 74,853^rd in the world and 1^st in Survivor for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
