The Revival of Ottterland is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, fear of technology, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 9.055 billion Otterlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayori. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Otterlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,333 trillion Otter Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,226 Otter Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, Leader is spearheading a new fashion trend of wearing swimming goggles and medieval armour, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ottterland's national animal is the Otter 🦦, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ottterland is ranked 1,852^nd in the world and 56^th in Europe for Longest Average Lifespans, with 94.58 years.
