The Second Best Colony of Second Best Puppet 206 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Noah with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.702 billion Second Best Puppet 206ians 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 Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 92.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Best Puppet 206ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,798 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, and laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Best Puppet 206's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Second Best Puppet 206 is ranked 273,938th in the world and 1,298th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
