The Humanz of Saturnz Barz is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Popcaan with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.439 billion humanzes are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the stakin' bar. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Saturnz Barzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,220 trillion B A T HS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,571 B A T HS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saturnz Barz's national animal is the Gorillaz, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is humanz.

Saturnz Barz is ranked 15,831st in the world and 14th in Stereo Hearts for Most Corrupt Governments, with 117.79 kickbacks per hour.
