The Dominion of Ulm 64 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.914 billion Ulm 64ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 64ian economy, worth 240 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,409 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, the sudden rash of anti-drug laws has left everyone dazed and confused, Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 64's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 64 is ranked 29,884^th in the world and 81^st in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.33 Effective Tax Rate.
