The Republic of Otterburrow is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 316 million Otterburrowians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Otterburrowian economy, worth 9.85 trillion Otters a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,186 Otters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, and Otterburrowians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otterburrow's national animal is the Otter.

Otterburrow is ranked 121,620^th in the world and 1^st in Fort Otter for Safest, scoring 74.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
