The Armed Republic of Ulm 86 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.962 billion Ulm 86ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 86ian economy, worth 257 trillion pounds 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, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 131,471 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 412,932 per year while the poor average 32,050, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, and tourists on boat cruises can't figure out why they smell so fishy afterward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 86's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ulm 86 is ranked 192,072^nd in the world and 116^th in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Drug Use, scoring 106.95 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
