The Republic of North Saturn is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 291 million North Saturnians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving North Saturnian economy, worth 23.6 trillion Star coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,194 Star coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, anti-government web sites are springing up, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Saturn's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
North Saturn is ranked 27,663rd in the world and 545th in the Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 79.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
