The Republic of Ulm-Ball is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical population of 395 million Ulm-Ballians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The very strong Ulm-Ballian economy, worth 25.9 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,486 Ducats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,126 per year while the poor average 12,163, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm-Ball's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm-Ball is ranked 276,946^th in the world and 15^th in Ulm for Largest Populations, with 395 million capita.
