The United States of Ulm 65 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.814 billion Ulm 65ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 65ian economy, worth 220 trillion dollars 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, 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 121,649 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 382,081 per year while the poor average 29,655, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 65's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 65 is ranked 260,467^th in the world and 272^nd in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
