The Principality of Mustardy is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Ysolt Arceneaux with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.913 billion Mustardos are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Héronne. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Mustard economy, worth 333 trillion Schillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 30,494 Schillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Smoking is banned in public areas, calling dibs is an unalienable right, Mustardy has designated Héronne as its capital city, and Ysolt Arceneaux has just been declared ruler of Mustardy in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mustardy's national animal is the Mustard Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mustardy is ranked 121,726^th in the world and 4^th in Deltic Waters for Longest Average Lifespans, with 71.91 years.
