The Aquatic Weasels of The Otter Archipelago is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Otterian Senate with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.96 billion Otterians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Otterton. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Otterian economy, worth a remarkable 4,542 trillion Abalones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 206,840 Abalones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, if there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around New Otterton, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime is totally unknown. The Otter Archipelago's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Otter Archipelago is ranked 1,392nd in the world and 1st in GTA Forums for Most Cultured, scoring 322 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
