The Republic of Ulm 330 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, devout population of 1.449 billion Ulm 330ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 330ian economy, worth 171 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,060 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Thrift shops are closing their doors, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 330's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 330 is ranked 89,460^th in the world and 379^th in Swabian autonomous region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,063.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
