The Republic of Ulm 305 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.458 billion Ulm 305ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 305ian economy, worth 167 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 115,050 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, Ulm 305ian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Leader, and builders across Ulm 305 are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 305's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 305 is ranked 245,647^th in the world and 234^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
