The Republic of Ulm 307 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.451 billion Ulm 307ians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 307ian economy, worth 181 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,411 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, only those who apply can study applied maths, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, and a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 307's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 307 is ranked 66,370^th in the world and 303^rd in Swabian autonomous region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,532.27 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
