The Incorporated States of Second Best Olympian 8 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, aversion to nipples, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.391 billion Second Best Olympian 8ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Olympian 8ian economy, worth 925 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 144,781 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,563 per year while the poor average 30,893, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

It's said that a Second Best Olympian 8ian always pays his debts with significant compounding, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, and children dream of becoming physicians and physicists. 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 Olympian 8's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Second Best Olympian 8 is ranked 102,632nd in the world and 1,245th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.0658461088 days.
