The Republic of Ulmplot is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 928 million Ulmplotians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.1%.

The powerhouse Ulmplotian economy, worth 80.6 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,830 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulmplot's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulmplot is ranked 13,571^st in the world and 4^th in Ulm for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 111.44 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
