The Sleepy Ice Bear of Petronellania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 3.357 billion Nellans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 539 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,612 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Petronellania's mid-life crisis, "It was only a joke" is no longer a defense for the felony of discrimination, when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petronellania's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Petronellania is ranked 5,661st in the world and 274th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 59.06 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
