The Republic of Far Otter is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, democratic population of 334 million Far Otterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Far Otterian economy, worth 28.6 trillion Doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,576 Doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies. Crime is totally unknown. Far Otter's national animal is the Rock Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Far Otter is ranked 269,405^th in the world and 4,638^th in The East Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 258.18 milliStalins.
