The Borderlands of Kaumudeen is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Shah Moutah with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 893 million Kaumites 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fursaniabad. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kaumudeenian economy, worth 83.0 trillion Pfendeens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,965 Pfendeens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Vehicle strikes into low bridges are on the increase, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Kaumudeen, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kaumudeen's national animal is the Tiger Hippo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kaumudeen is ranked 66,131^st in the world and 1,134^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 21.32 flags saluted per person per day.
