The Otter Empire of Laseri is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sera with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation.

The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 91,260 seis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
