The Republic of Ulm 380 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.494 billion Ulm 380ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 380ian economy, worth 177 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 119,029 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and they say the best compromise leaves everyone feeling a little unarmed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 380's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 380 is ranked 130,338^th in the world and 298^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,119.35 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
