The Republic of Otira is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Lucco II vos Deradi with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.82 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 7.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Otiran economy, worth a remarkable 7,000 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 234,759 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, heart failure has skyrocketed among elderly nobles who are morally opposed to pacemakers, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Barcella to enjoy their national art. 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 Vezkelios.

Otira is ranked 1,539th in the world and 1st in Ulthos for Most Cultured, scoring 305 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
