The Keypad Enabling Methods of Numlock is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.384 billion Numlockians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Numlock City. The average income tax rate is 55.4%.

The powerhouse Numlockian economy, worth a remarkable 1,297 trillion somethings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,180 somethings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Numlock's national animal is the something else, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Numlock is ranked 278,263rd in the world and 5th in Rakum for Most Cultured, scoring 52 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
