The Republic of Ulm 210 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 1.468 billion Ulm 210ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 210ian economy, worth 169 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,165 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

People who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers, citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, and the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 210's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 210 is ranked 45,763^rd in the world and 297^th in Swabian autonomous region for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 194.13 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
