The Republic of Ulms-Will is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 456 million Ulms-Willians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Ulms-Willian economy, worth 26.8 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,746 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ulms-Will's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
