The Republic of Otira is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Lucco II vos Deradi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 35.369 billion Otirans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barcella. The average income tax rate is 8.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Otiran economy, worth a remarkable 8,362 trillion kamas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 236,445 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, government debts are financed through alchemy, and janitors and interns go on luxury retreats while the desks are cleared by the C-Suite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Otira's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Otira is ranked 4,240^th in the world and 1^st in Sarnor for Longest Average Lifespans, with 93.19 years.
