The Most Serene Republic of Ulm 47 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.818 billion Ulm 47ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 47ian economy, worth 218 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 120,458 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

International tensions are high as Ulm 47 threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, if the best leaders are those who don't want to lead then Leader's lack of leadership must be a great leadership quality, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, and tourists buying prepaid smartphones are arrested for smuggling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 47's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ulm 47 is ranked 44,089^th in the world and 233^rd in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Average Incomes, with 120,458.55 Standard Monetary Units.
