The Constitutional Monarchy of Ulm 118 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and unlimited-speed roads. The cynical, devout population of 1.863 billion Ulm 118ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 118ian economy, worth 230 trillion lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,646 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, it is illegal to liberate slaves, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 118's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 118 is ranked 222,072^nd in the world and 187^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
