The Protectorate of Ulm 195 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.821 billion Ulm 195ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 195ian economy, worth 244 trillion baht 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, 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 134,437 baht, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Ulm 195ian, and disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 195's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 195 is ranked 211,170^th in the world and 120^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Populations, with 1.82 billion capita.
