The Republic of Ulm 351 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.485 billion Ulm 351ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 351ian economy, worth 163 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,948 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Job satisfaction is a luxury many Ulm 351ians can't afford, former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 351's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 351 is ranked 116,800^th in the world and 58^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,846 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
