The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Petronellania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.292 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 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 519 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 157,829 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and there is something rotten in the state of Petronellania. 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 260,454th in the world and 5,436th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
