The Republic of Ulm 261 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.463 billion Ulm 261ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 261ian economy, worth 183 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,182 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, and trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 261's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 261 is ranked 40,209^th in the world and 161^st in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Average Incomes, with 125,182.51 Standard Monetary Units.
