The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 02 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Noah with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.67 billion Second Best Puppet 02ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 02ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 170,043 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, and tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Best Puppet 02's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Second Best Puppet 02 is ranked 103,028th in the world and 1,641st in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.0172350288 days.
