The Republic of Ulmball is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working population of 504 million Ulmballians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.1%.

The thriving Ulmballian economy, worth 31.2 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,949 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulmball's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulmball is ranked 241,325^th in the world and 22^nd in Ulm for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 205.12 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
