The Swabian Autonomous Zone of Ulm 14 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.24 billion Ulm 14ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toransk. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 14ian economy, worth 268 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,029 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 14's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 14 is ranked 299,974^th in the world and 446^th in Swabian autonomous region for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 27.9 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
