The Republic of Ulm 319 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and lack of airports. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.487 billion Ulm 319ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 319ian economy, worth 193 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,918 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 319's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 319 is ranked 112,262^nd in the world and 51^st in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,957.82 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
