The Republic of Ulm 366 is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.447 billion Ulm 366ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 366ian economy, worth 176 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,152 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, and the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 366's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 366 is ranked 246,085^th in the world and 264^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
