The Queen's State of Master Pro is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 32.376 billion Master Proans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Master Proan economy, worth 785 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 24,247 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and Master Pro has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Master Pro's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Master Pro is ranked 219,241st in the world and 7th in Honduras for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
