The Republic of Ulm 333 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.49 billion Ulm 333ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 333ian economy, worth 187 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,843 Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 375,845 per year while the poor average 32,973, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 333's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 333 is ranked 134,072^nd in the world and 257^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,915.55 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
