The | The Free Land of Otanga or for short Otanga is a small island in the Adriatic Sea. Otanga is located next to Italy, France, Switzerland, and Austria.

The landforms in Otanga consist of very few rivers, hills, and few mountains. The king and queen live in a castle that is located on the top of the tallest hill and if you want to see them you have to hike it. All of the rivers flow in sync and that is where their people get water from. It rains once every week and two times a week in November. There is no pollution and everyone respects their trash policy. The trash policy says that you can only throw trash into the garbage cans and if you don’t they will track you and put you in prison for 30 days. Everyone treats each other with kindness and if anyone doesn’t get along they are banned forever. Otanga used to speak Italian and Otan, but they moved on from Italian and now they speak Otan and Ger. Very few elders still speak Italian and they are valued to Otanga greatly. Otanga rarely goes to war but they once went to Italy for apparently stealing their language, this made no sense because they had said that they were going to share it. Otanga won the war and they ended up sharing the Italian language. | |||
