The Swabian Autonomous Zone of Ulm 11 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and national health service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.117 billion Ulm 11ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yekarovsk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 11ian economy, worth 293 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,793 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, going on a diet invalidates your passport, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 11's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 11 is ranked 66,439^th in the world and 303^rd in Swabian autonomous region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,535.72 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
