The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 22 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Noah with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.617 billion Second Best Puppet 22ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 22ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,441 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 554,973 per year while the poor average 39,993, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, many citizens refuse to smile lest they reveal their gold fillings, tightly packed choir-boys sing the god-given joys of heterosexuality on public transport, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. 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 22's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 22 is ranked 103,009th in the world and 1,622nd in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.01745725088 days.
