The Swabian Autonomous Zone of Ulm 2 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, aversion to nipples, and state-planned economy. The cynical, devout population of 2.244 billion Ulm 2ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kastsyuyeyka. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 2ian economy, worth 306 trillion Ducats 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 136,774 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, third world countries are rich in "I Love Kastsyuyeyka" t-shirts, and the nation's mettle is about to be tested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 2's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 2 is ranked 311,678^th in the world and 385^th in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Drug Use, scoring 10.98 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
