The Republic of Ulmplot is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 809 million Ulmplotians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.6%.

The thriving Ulmplotian economy, worth 66.8 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,556 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. 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 91,961^st in the world and 9^th in Ulm for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,020.7 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
