The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 221 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Noah with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.48 billion Second Best Puppet 221ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 89.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 221ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,202 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm, and Noah has a wardrobe full of fake designer suits. 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 221's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 221 is ranked 102,796th in the world and 1,422nd in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.02540863468 days.
