The Athenian Paradise of Otaku Stratus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kairu Hakubi with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 45.491 billion Stratites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wisdom City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stratese economy, worth an astonishing 23,854 trillion sapphires a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 524,369 sapphires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The parliament building has installed a revolving door, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Otaku Stratus's national animal is the leogryph, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Otaku Stratus is ranked 294,311^th in the world and 23^rd in Free Japan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
