The Federation of Saturning is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 457 million Saturningians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The strong Saturningian economy, worth 24.9 trillion Sati Dollmons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,499 Sati Dollmons, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's support among single young men has drooped slightly, there is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, group hugs break out during floor votes, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Saturning's national animal is the Saturing, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Saturning is ranked 50,503^rd in the world and 2^nd in Uranus Saturn for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,195.19 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
