The Relocated Tribes of Ulfingen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mathew Ulfing with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 36.447 billion Ulfings hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kablaf. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The very strong Ulfing economy, worth a remarkable 2,981 trillion leashes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,794 leashes, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Mathew Ulfing to meetings with foreign heads of state, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", the military will start wars with other nations on a lark, and the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ulfingen's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is whatever you want to believe.

Ulfingen is ranked 274,704^th in the world and 113^th in New Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 1.04 average smiles per day.
