The Infinite Ice Bear of Petronellania is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Ice Bear with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 8.375 billion Nellans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clark Aquilonia and Valeria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nellan economy, worth a remarkable 2,599 trillion Nellan Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 310,331 Nellan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Petronellania's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Petronellania is ranked 2,464^th in the world and 97^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 11,217.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
