The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 07 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Noah with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.688 billion Second Best Puppet 07ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 07ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,207 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,590 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, the nation is in perpetual campaign mode, and homophobia is off the menu. 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 07's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 07 is ranked 103,024th in the world and 1,637th in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.01728363988 days.
