This paper deals with a non-zero-sum inspection game with one inspector and several inspectees. Each inspectee country makes a decision from the standpoint of his national interest while the inspector distributes staff to inspectee facilities to detect illegal behavior. We propose a method to find a Nash equilibrium for the game, which could help the inspector make an effective plan about how to assign staff to individual suspect facilities in those countries.
