The Jeffersonian Democracy of Saturns Edge is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Justin Robinette Obama with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 13.431 billion Saturnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyperion Rift. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Saturnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,767 trillion Sickles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,565 Sickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Saturnian weed picker are way up, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saturns Edge's national animal is the Kaiju, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.
Saturns Edge is ranked 5,758th in the world and 282nd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 156 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
