The V͔̞̟o͉̟̦͈i̫͖̹̠̰̝̙ͅd͔͚̫̫͝ ͜͠ of Mayo and Other Condiments is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by ASNS with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.803 billion condiments 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurorum. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Condiment economy, worth an astonishing 13,879 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 825,992 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and the government spends billions to protect Mayo and Other Condiments from a disaster that is one in a million. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mayo and Other Condiments's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Mayo and Other Condiments is ranked 255^th in the world and 10^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 234.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
