The Hermit Kingdom of Lekamen is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Madam President Yun-jin with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The humorless population of 3.283 billion Lekans 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongyang. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lekamenian economy, worth 425 trillion Lekan Rubis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 129,754 Lekan Rubis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, the universal wage level is set by dividing GDP by the number of citizens, the government spends billions to protect Lekamen from a disaster that is one in a million, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lekamen's national animal is the White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lekan Mythology.

Lekamen is ranked 297,847th in the world and 1,214th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -277.09 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
