The Borderlands of Kaumudeen is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Shah Moutah with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 826 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 medium-sized, 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 51.9%.

The all-consuming Kaumudeenian economy, worth 80.2 trillion Pfendeens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,115 Pfendeens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 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 well under control. Kaumudeen's national animal is the Tiger Hippo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kaumudeen is ranked 87,840^th in the world and 1,791^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,359.52 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
