The Kleptocratic Dystopia of Ujong Medini is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Gajah Madah with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.965 billion Ujongians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Education and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanjung Ulas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ujongian economy, worth 870 trillion Sundan Rupiyahs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 219,657 Sundan Rupiyahs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,033,545 per year while the poor average 2,281, a ratio of 891 to 1.

Farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, the ingredients list for most food products covers the entire surface of the packaging, advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Gajah Madah's most personal functions, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ujong Medini's national animal is the Wolftail Shrimp, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is City of Faith Church.

Ujong Medini is ranked 125,614th in the world and 4,806th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 3.96 billion capita.
