The Community of Ulm 79 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.941 billion Ulm 79ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 79ian economy, worth 240 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 124,043 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Ulm 79ian beaches, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, and the first sword of Ulm 79 does not run. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 79's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 79 is ranked 158,362^nd in the world and 294^th in Swabian autonomous region for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,329.83 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
