The Kingdom of Locksgreen is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Ceawlin with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 12.264 billion Locksgreenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clamerkin. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Locksgreenian economy, worth 946 trillion vects a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,138 vects, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and King Ceawlin's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Locksgreen's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is pagan.

Locksgreen is ranked 21,723rd in the world and 5th in Vectis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
