The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 31 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Noah with an even hand, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.646 billion Second Best Puppet 31ians 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 Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 31ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,232 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 185,449 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, a mountain of discarded sofas and beds is incinerated every day, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-card charge on their phone bill. 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 31's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 31 is ranked 102,996th in the world and 1,610th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.01756836192 days.
