The Mercenary Hegemony of Condottieri International is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Amadou de Duala with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 12.844 billion Condottieri are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of White Rose City. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Condottiero economy, worth a remarkable 2,501 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,744 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Condottieri International's national animal is the Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Condottieri International is ranked 10,457^th in the world and 5^th in The Illuminati for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,578.06 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
