The Oppressed Peoples of Ulm 73 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.817 billion Ulm 73ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 73ian economy, worth 233 trillion bitcoins 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. 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 128,631 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sick Ulm 73ians are hair today and gone tomorrow, the nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand, Ulm 73 City's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 73's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
