The Republic of Ulm 320 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.468 billion Ulm 320ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 320ian economy, worth 182 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,270 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Ulm 320 are blocked up with orders for new public loos, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', office thieves tell their employers kleptomania is a pregnancy symptom, 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 320's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 320 is ranked 40,971^st in the world and 172^nd in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Average Incomes, with 124,270.25 Standard Monetary Units.
