The Principality of Locking is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning sparrow population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.99 billion Lockingians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.6%.

The Lockingian economy, worth 811 trillion Stings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 42,718 Stings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Locking's national animal is the sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Locking is ranked 232,878^th in the world and 1^st in The Fascist Recreation Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
