The Monarchy of Otterman Empir is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Peacemaker with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.876 billion Otterman Empirians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Małpa. The average income tax rate is 45.5%.

The all-consuming Otterman Empirian economy, worth 295 trillion TopGs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 102,733 TopGs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, Otterman Empir is renowned for its lax gun laws, and men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otterman Empir's national animal is the Monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Enlightenment.

Otterman Empir is ranked 259,380^th in the world and 9,053^rd in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -185.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
