The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Petronellania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory vegetarianism, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.249 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 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 512 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 157,795 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Petronellania has found 8 easter eggs), trained plumber-burglars will clean out your blocked pipes and your jewellery boxes, travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. 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 28,393rd in the world and 1,076th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 82 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
