The Federal Empire of Ulnar is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor-President with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.744 billion Ulnarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erebus. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ulnarian economy, worth 554 trillion qians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 201,929 qians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ulnar's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is God-Machine Cult.

Ulnar is ranked 78,511^th in the world and 1^st in Albero for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,629.37 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
