The Swabian Autonomous Zone of Ulm 24 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.034 billion Ulm 24ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novoluga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 24ian economy, worth 266 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,972 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, third world countries are rich in "I Love Novoluga" t-shirts, the decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 24's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 24 is ranked 105,032^nd in the world and 28^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,690.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
