The Queendom of Ulm 150 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 1.83 billion Ulm 150ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 150ian economy, worth 244 trillion guilders 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 133,713 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, and the navy is hoping to hear the enemy shout "you sank my battleship!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 150's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 150 is ranked 28,669^th in the world and 171^st in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 28,238.21 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
