The Armed Republic of Ulm 131 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.807 billion Ulm 131ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 131ian economy, worth 238 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 131,913 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and scrapyards are filled with Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 131's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 131 is ranked 212,248^th in the world and 152^nd in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Populations, with 1.81 billion capita.
