The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 107 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Noah with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.516 billion Second Best Puppet 107ians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 107ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,196 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 183,566 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, the giant 80-storey carving of Noah in Mount Rushless can be seen from space, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, and doctors will keep brain-dead coma patients ventilated for years in order to avoid accusations of allowing people to die. 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 107's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Second Best Puppet 107 is ranked 102,910th in the world and 1,537th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.0195961384 days.
