The Jeffersonian Democracy of Saturns Edge is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Justin Robinette Obama with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 13.531 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 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Saturnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,773 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 significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,034 Sickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the latest political memes depict Justin Robinette Obama as an overly-choreographed robot, atheists in the nation feel uneasy living in buildings where they were once vilified, and news headlines usually include p-values. 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 2,555th in the world and 123rd in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 143.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
