The Republic of Ulm Protector is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.029 billion Ulm Protectorians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ulm Protectorian economy, worth 46.5 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,152 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and a major religion has been named as Ulm Protector's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulm Protector's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulm Protector is ranked 205,062^nd in the world and 22^nd in Ulm for Highest Average Incomes, with 45,152.99 Standard Monetary Units.
