The Republic of Ulmball is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 461 million Ulmballians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 39.1%.

The very strong Ulmballian economy, worth 29.0 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 62,875 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and comatose jurors are the defense's favorite. 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 15,190^th in the world and 1^st in Ulm for Safest, scoring 115.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
