The Republic of Ulmplot is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 895 million Ulmplotians 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 Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.2%.

The powerhouse Ulmplotian economy, worth 75.3 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,086 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. 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 40,964^th in the world and 3^rd in Ulm for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,632.64 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
