The Confederacy of Ulm 152 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.817 billion Ulm 152ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 58.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 152ian economy, worth 236 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 extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,340 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ulm 152 is ranked 44,775^th in the world and 92^nd in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,903.01 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
