Otisburg is the capital city of the Colony of Calsahara. It is considered a "tent city" with portable tents being erected to accommodate visitors.
Otisburg is the location of the original plot of land that Calsahara was founded upon in 2009. It is 2.5 acres in size and was purchased in the 1960s by Boots Brannon as part of an investment deal that later went south. The plot remained vacant for many years until Travis McHenry raised the Flag of Calsahara over it and proclaimed it the capital of Calsahara.
The name "Otisburg" was chosen because the location of Otisburg is in virtually the exact location as the fictional town of Otisburg in the 1978 film Superman. In the film, Lex Luthor plans to break California in half by detonating a nuclear weapon in the San Andreas Fault. His scheme involves buying worthless land along the fault line and then creating luxury beach estates after the fault line breaks apart. Luthor's henchman, Otis, scribbles in his own little town on Lex's map, dubbing his city "Otisburg" and saying "It's a little bitty place."
