"Uttenstetten", formally known as the "Dukedom/Duchy of Uttenstetten," is a Colonial Stem Dukedom within The Empire of Common Territories (TECT) located in the Levanora Vastness Region. It is comprised of a central mainland island (also named Uttenstetten) and orbited by three smaller islands in close proximity. With an area of 78,294km2, Uttenstetten is not only one of the smallest fiefdoms within the Empire but is also the smallest Stem-Duchy within the Empire. Uttenstetten Island has a diverse geology which is largely tropical and dominated by three mountain ranges; Uttenstetten's mountain ranges play a pivotal role in the island's climate, often controlling conditions such as temperature and weather patterns. Rothenberg, Uttenstetten's capital and largest city, dominates the southern tip of the island while also stretching across the Rothen Bay shoreline. The remaining northern half of Uttenstetten is largely a mixture of tropical, oceanic, and some arid/temperate zones hosting smaller satellite towns/cities connected to Rothenberg.

Commoners (both native and from the Mainland) make up the vast majority of Uttenstetten's population. Roughly sixty percent of the population is native born while the remaining twenty-two percent are temporary citizens or Mainland tourists. About eighteen percent of the Uttenstetten population are temporary foreign residents or tourists. As a magnet for business and leisure, Uttenstetten is selective yet highly attractive for high-paying temporary residents (persons staying for months on end) or tourists (persons who visit for a few weeks or less). Originally setup as an outpost, Rothenberg steadily developed into a trade post, then trade port city, and is now one of the largest cities within the Empire not located in the Mainland. Most of the population resides in Rothenberg and its suburbs, which dominate the southern half of Rothen Bay and line the coastline of the bay itself. Major ports, towns, and even remote settlements make up the rest of the population, often lining the island's coastline or its major rivers.

Uttenstetten is unique within the Empire politically and economically speaking due to its financial standing. Historically, Uttenstetten was established after Imperial Authorities quickly realized how profitable a trading port could become within the region. The island was sold to the highest merchant bidder whom could come to an agreement on a Charter benefiting the Empire financially. Alwin von Uttenstetten's "Uttenstetten Trades Company"
