The Republic of Ulm 363 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 1.569 billion Ulm 363ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 363ian economy, worth 177 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,934 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

All children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense, one does not simply walk into the tundra, the most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves, and Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 363's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 363 is ranked 145,773^rd in the world and 257^th in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 38,397.7 Standard Monetary Units.
