The Planet of Saturnus is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.053 billion Saturnusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Saturnusian economy, worth a remarkable 3,217 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 160,472 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Saturnusian weed picker are way up, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saturnus's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saturnus is ranked 19,115^th in the world and 8^th in St Abbaddon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,434.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
