The Athenian Paradise of Otaku Stratus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed population of 21.867 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wisdom City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, the children of Otaku Stratus are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, Otaku Stratus's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Otaku Stratus's national animal is the lion-griffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the sapphire.

Otaku Stratus is ranked 2nd in Japan and 642nd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 194 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
