Often, this language is used by members of other species who have become acclaimed among Ottyo, acclimated and live with them, or have frequent contact with them.
Umm... Since they Ottyo are Xenophobic...
they really wouldn't acclimate to other races, instead they assimilate them.
In fact the only time a truly facist government will make a fair alliance with another ethnic nation is when both nations have a common enemy of rest of Europe like the
Axis Powers did during WWII. Although for the Axis power, it was more than just a common hatred of America or Europe. German and Japan were mainly able make an alliance thanks to

Looking at the philosophy article, I think it looks good so far CadetNewb; however, since the Ottyo government is facist; you also need to add to this article some points about
nationalism and the Ottyo's
superiority complex
Infact CadetNewb, take a look at page 11 of
Social constructions of nationalism in the Middle East. I think they author does a better job of explaining nationalism in this sort paragraph than wikipedia does. Specifically pay attention to this quote:
Scholars who focus on the meaning systems that generate and interpret nationalism emphasize especially the role of culture in producing the spectrum of nationalism. Ernest Gellner identifies homogeneity, literacy, and anonymity as the traits of nationalism where men profess political loyalty to a cutlure, often transmitted through education. The sense of solidarity, common culture, and nation consciousness often defines the element that gradually bind a community of people into a nation.
...
Even though the organization elements with which these nationalism take shape are not extensively discussed in and of themselves, all the scholar also take notice of the philanthropic and secret societies, and political parties that help reproduce nationalisms

In general, the ethics Ottyo go by are directly controlled by the state; it's interpretation and common understanding of is manipulated by the government.
Good job CadetNewb about mentioning that both ethics of a fascist society is control by that state. In fact, often time the state will use education and media to control people's ethical values and even philosophy as it mentions on wikipedia.

The Ottyo ethics article you wrote is also a good start like the philosphy article. In fact when you are talking about:
Though it is generally unacceptable to partake in what is considered a cruel and unusual action, it may be justified if there is a direct benefit to the group
it is interest to see how the concept of "direct benefit to the group" parallels fundamental principle of
Ulitarnism. I am not sure how much Fascism and Utilitarianism agree, but its interesting to think about a possibility of
Facist Spock. Also The Inter-species part has definite parallels to real
Facist foreign policy. (Although the Nazi's where actually socialist... so Facist Spock really is a stretch XD)
One thing that I did find, is that you should probably go into more detail is about the Intra-species Ethics. Specifically, the idea of the government enforces ethical principles and the concept of eugenics in this article has a name is Facism. Its called
Social Interventionism

Finally going back to the culture article, I found something odd about education part.
Throughout the entire regimen, loyalty to the state, and brainwashing in general, is implemented with a high success rate overall.
A modern futurist fascist leaders don't sell their education to the people as state-controlled education or brainwashing, since those are tropic words that would send off alarm bells in the intellectuals, which would lead to protests and eventually
Anti-intellectualism and the fall of the government. Instead in futurist fascism, you appeal to be people by calling it a state funded "no child left behind" or mandatory public school system with
seperations based on eugenics, intellect, and academic scores.
Therefore Instead of explicitly admitting they use education for their own brainwashing propaganda, The government says it "actively works to educate all childern to the greatest possible amount so that every child become future model citizen working their hardest for the state, family, and friends.
