The Nomadic Peoples of Ulm 136 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.789 billion Ulm 136ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 136ian economy, worth 241 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,052 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 136's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ulm 136 is ranked 62,760^th in the world and 288^th in Swabian autonomous region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,617.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
