The Ice Bear of Petronellania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ice Bear with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.55 billion Nellans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, 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 Clark Aquilonia and Valeria. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth 942 trillion Nellan Dollars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,148 Nellan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government invades its allies more than its enemies, groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". 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 White Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Petronellania is ranked 140,100^th in the world and 2,596^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,998.43 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
