The Republic of Ulm 320 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.585 billion Ulm 320ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 320ian economy, worth 204 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,731 Ducats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 545,071 per year while the poor average 19,640, a ratio of 27.8 to 1.

Those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, enemy governments seem especially interested in Ulm 320's election cycle, and the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 320's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulm 320 is ranked 27,828^th in the world and 51^st in Swabian autonomous region for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,796.67 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
