The Sultanate of Ulm 61 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.92 billion Ulm 61ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 61ian economy, worth 263 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,070 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ill and injured visitors in Ulm 61 have to walk it off until they return home, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, and the most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 61's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 61 is ranked 138,545^th in the world and 245^th in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,065.05 Standard Monetary Units.
