The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Petronellania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.218 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 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 500 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is quite specialized and 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 155,674 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Nellan resumés, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. 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 2,152^nd in the world and 98^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 142.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
