The Mercenary Hegemony of Condottieri International is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Amadou de Duala with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.661 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 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Condottiero economy, worth a remarkable 2,312 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and 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 198,320 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 188,533^rd in the world and 10^th in The Illuminati for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -23.83 on the Hayek Index.
