The Disputed Territories of Ulm 123 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.911 billion Ulm 123ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

Average income is an impressive 129,021 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
