The Republic of Ulm 395 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.562 billion Ulm 395ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 395ian economy, worth 167 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,038 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Ulm 395ians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 395's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 395 is ranked 48,262^nd in the world and 183^rd in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.54 Effective Tax Rate.
