The Community of Otter is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The democratic population of 3.708 billion Otterians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Otterian economy, worth 247 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,797 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, and diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Otter's national animal is the Otter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Otter is ranked 132,972^nd in the world and 23^rd in Safari for Largest Populations, with 3.71 billion capita.
