The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 161 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Noah with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.534 billion Second Best Puppet 161ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 83.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 161ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,966 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Choking on cards is a leading cause of death for wild animals, the pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, the giant 80-storey carving of Noah in Mount Rushless can be seen from space, and pet owners exercise their legendaries at a snail's pace or risk prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Best Puppet 161's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Second Best Puppet 161 is ranked 102,861st in the world and 1,487th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.02229058112 days.
