The Republic of Ulm 375 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.479 billion Ulm 375ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 375ian economy, worth 158 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,492 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 375's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 375 is ranked 211,634^th in the world and 176^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
