The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 166 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Noah with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.643 billion Second Best Puppet 166ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 94.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 166ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,002 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,963 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, and government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success. 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 166's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Second Best Puppet 166 is ranked 181,302nd in the world and 472nd in Two for Safest, scoring 55.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
