The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Petronellania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.31 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 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 524 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 158,334 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Petronellania" at foreigners, saying "don't do anything that Santa Claus wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. 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 1,059th in the world and 53rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 163.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
