The ULYS-0197X of OIS Ulysses is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.635 billion OIS Ulyssesians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OIS-0197. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient OIS Ulyssesian economy, worth 776 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 117,105 Halicarnassuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 410,891 per year while the poor average 24,210, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

The Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Ulysses's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

OIS Ulysses is ranked 144,904^th in the world and 645^th in Ordo Imperialia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 24,210.79 Standard Monetary Units.
