The Republic of Ulmball is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 420 million Ulmballians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.0%.

The very strong Ulmballian economy, worth 26.6 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,244 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, and Bears with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulmball's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ulmball is ranked 178,895^th in the world and 19^th in Ulm for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,843.13 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
