The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Petronellania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.287 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 520 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 158,300 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", and dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books. 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 8,069^th in the world and 316^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,332.89 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
