The Republic of Ulmplot is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 832 million Ulmplotians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The thriving Ulmplotian economy, worth 67.5 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,077 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, and prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping. 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 258,692nd in the world and 2nd in Ulm for Largest Populations, with 832 million capita.
