The Jeffersonian Democracy of Saturns Edge is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Justin Robinette Obama with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 13.506 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 1,778 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 131,645 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 3,387th in the world and 134th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 236.2 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
