The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 56 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Noah with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.672 billion Second Best Puppet 56ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 56ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,144 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,565 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 568,205 per year while the poor average 38,694, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and a bureaucratic fight over SBP5IA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations. 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 56's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 56 is ranked 102,961st in the world and 1,587th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.0178600284 days.
