The Athenian Paradise of Otaku Stratus is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by Kairu Hakubi with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 50.653 billion Stratites 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.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wisdom City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stratese economy, worth an astonishing 26,703 trillion sapphires a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 527,184 sapphires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The parliament building has installed a revolving door, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Otaku Stratus's national animal is the leogryph, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Otaku Stratus is ranked 307,688^th in the world and 12^th in Free Japan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
