The Jingoistic States of Ulm 194 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.88 billion Ulm 194ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 194ian economy, worth 233 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 124,043 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,770 per year while the poor average 24,890, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, foreigners write "made in Ulm 194" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, and street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 194's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 194 is ranked 45,285^th in the world and 56^th in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 56,439.81 Standard Monetary Units.
