The Swabian Autonomous Zone of Ulm 37 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.207 billion Ulm 37ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iskiboksarsk. The average income tax rate is 61.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 37ian economy, worth 293 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 133,057 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and the Ulm 37ian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 37's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 37 is ranked 283,443^rd in the world and 401^st in Swabian autonomous region for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.01 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
