The Confederacy of Ulm 152 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.867 billion Ulm 152ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 152ian economy, worth 239 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,333 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, and Ulm 152 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 152's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 152 is ranked 176,095^th in the world and 182^nd in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,101.94 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
