The Republic of Ulmnicontrol is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 402 million Ulmnicontrolians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ulmnicontrolian economy, worth 30.1 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,875 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulmnicontrol's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ulmnicontrol is ranked 47,441^st in the world and 1^st in Ulm for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,047.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
