p-adic field extension of degree 2n without a subfield of degree 2?
Since it hasn't yet been mentioned, $x^4+2x+2$ is an explicit polynomial with Galois group $S_4$ over $\mathbf{Q}_2$, so $K = \mathbf{Q}_2[x]/(x^4+2x+2)$ is a degree $4$ extension with no quadratic subfields.

Does local Langlands say anything about the isomorphism class of the absolute Galois group?
An analogy: the global Langlands program for $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ says quite a lot about the arithmetic of torsion free congruence subgroups $\Gamma$ of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{Z})$, but I don't think it has had very much to say about these groups as abstract groups, since they are, in the end, just free groups.

The condition on $\alpha$ that $\alpha^n$ is convergent modulo 1
@GHfromMO: I think your comment pretty much answers the question. I recommend that you turn it into an answer!

Complex L-functions for Hermitian modular forms?
Hecke operators relate to the local structure of the group. But $U(n,n)/K$ over (say) a prime that splits in $K$ looks like $\mathrm{GL}(2n)$, so the Hecke theory looks like that of $\mathrm{GL}(2n)$ for such primes.

Complex L-functions for Hermitian modular forms?
Your comment is pretty vague. But you should really just learn the recipe of how all these things connect (Satake parameters, Langlands dual group, L-functions)are connected and then the conjectural story is just Lie theory. For example, the dual group of $U(n,n)$ is something close to $GL(2n)$ semi-direct product with $\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbf{\mathbf{Q}})$ acting by conjugate transpose. So $L$-functions related to representations of this group. Similarly, Satake paremeters are related to elements of this group. (When $n = 1$ this automorphism is inner, which is why things are simpler.)

Computing zeta(k), for k odd, using Fourier coefficients
@KevinBuzzard wasn't $1979$ actually $40$ years ago? Respond to this comment in $10$ years.

Complex L-functions for Hermitian modular forms?
For $n = 2$, these degree $4$ and $5$ $L$-functions are the classical ones which are known to have analytic continuations. (Note $\mathrm{Gspin}(5) \simeq \mathrm{GSp}(4)$ by some accidental automorphism.) But there are other $L$-functions, for example, $\mathrm{GSp}(4)$ has a (unique) irreducible representation $\rho$ of dimension $91$, so there should also be an $L$-function $L(\pi,\rho,s)$ for a Siegel modular form. (It exists, but its analytic continuation is not known.)

Complex L-functions for Hermitian modular forms?
It is exactly an example of this. If $G = \mathrm{GSp}(2n)$, then the dual group is $\mathrm{Gspin}(2n+1)$. The latter group has many representations, including a "spin" representation of dimension $2^n$ and a "standard" representation of dimension $2n+1$, so specifying that representation is part of the data defining an $L$-function for $\mathrm{GSp}(2n)$.

Number of solutions mod p and Betti numbers
@Heavensfall, I originally read your original question as giving the size of $X(\mathbf{F}_{p^n})$ for all $p$ between $1$ and $N$. Fortunately, I think my original answer contains an answer to your actual question.
