The Republic of Ulm 352 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.492 billion Ulm 352ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 352ian economy, worth 152 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 102,058 Ducats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 508,268 per year while the poor average 11,565, a ratio of 43.9 to 1.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and the roundel of the Ulm 352ian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 352's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ulm 352 is ranked 224,122^nd in the world and 227^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Populations, with 1.49 billion capita.
