The Vala Ainur of Ulmo Lord of Waters is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Will of Eru with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical, devout population of 2.829 billion Ulmo are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ulmonan. The average income tax rate is 43.9%.

The powerhouse Ulmo economy, worth 255 trillion Light of the Valars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,161 Light of the Valars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ulmo Lord of Waters's national animal is the Secret Fire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith of Eru.

Ulmo Lord of Waters is ranked 248,016^th in the world and 39^th in After the Fall for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
