The Sultanate of UDMS is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Sultan Mahmud VI with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.639 billion Honourable Peasants are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inderapura. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient UDMSian economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion Wang Emas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 224,368 Wang Emas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Honourable Peasants any less frightened, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, and witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UDMS's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

UDMS is ranked 308,016th in the world and 16,815th in Osiris for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 20.2 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
