When using MySQL SELECT can you change the value of a returned field based on other fields?

For example, if I have this select:

SELECT city,state,country FROM table

Now if city is empty AND state is empty, I want the value of country to returned empty as well (whether country actually has a value or not).

Example table:

id | city | state | country
-----------------------------
1  | Here | There | MyCountry
2  |      |       | YourCountry

So with the above table, I want the results for id=1 to return Here,There,MyCountry but the results for id=2 should be empty,empty,empty

Thanks
