The Most Serene Republic of Ulm 125 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.828 billion Ulm 125ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 125ian economy, worth 266 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 145,724 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 125's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 125 is ranked 20,674^th in the world and 66^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32,337.69 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
