Ootopia is a district in the western part of the Great Central Plateau of Errinundera. It is heavily forested and, although, there are many small tree villages there are no large towns or cities. The most well known settlements, are Cobb Hill, Fanny Moo and Lilly Pilly Creek. This prominence is primarily because of their former teams in the national football competition (see below) and to the Bloodsucking competition held in Fanny Moo.

Geographically it is noted for being the headwaters of two of the nation's major rivers: the Delegate flowing to the north; and the Brodribb to the south. Botanically, it contains some of the densest forest in Errinundera. The locals claim it to be the beating heart of the nation.

There is no Ootopian governing authority as such. Government business is conducted almost entirely at the local level, ie the tree villages and tree towns. From time to time the Mayors amd Magistrates of two or more locations meet to decide upon larger issues that need addressing.

The district came to prominence when the Ootopian Football Authority convinced the three Errinundera Football Association teams mentioned above to merge and represent the district under the district name. The clubs, aware they were struggling to compete in the national competition because of their small population catchments, readily agreed. A new stadium, Ootopia Forest has been completed near Fanny Moo and the new team has been performing beyond expectations.
