The Republic of Ulm 385 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.442 billion Ulm 385ians 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 Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ulm 385ian economy, worth 189 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,152 Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 380,380 per year while the poor average 35,815, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, and financial investors are noting a boom in artillery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm 385's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm 385 is ranked 36,042^nd in the world and 77^th in Swabian autonomous region for Highest Average Incomes, with 131,152.78 Standard Monetary Units.
