The Sleepy Ice Bear of Petronellania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.374 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 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 544 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 161,391 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, bags of fertiliser come with detailed instructions for not making explosives, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Petronellania will pay them to stop. 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 8,281st in the world and 398th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 447.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
