The Swabian Autonomous Zone of Ulm 33 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.036 billion Ulm 33ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stelozhsk. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 33ian economy, worth 284 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,545 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, and tweenage nobles order army regiments to do their homework for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 33's national animal is the Ducat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 33 is ranked 270,871^st in the world and 316^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
