The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 17 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Noah with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.686 billion Second Best Puppet 17ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,322 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 197,784 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, group hugs break out during floor votes, the military has declared war on all religious influence, and pet owners exercise their legendaries at a snail's pace or risk prosecution. 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 17's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 17 is ranked 103,000th in the world and 1,626th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.0174086398 days.
