The LGBTQ Supporting Otter of Estebere is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Head Counsel River Marsh with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and national health service.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estebere's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
