The Republic of Yucatec Maya is a large, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 88 million Yucatec Mayans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.
The Yucatec Mayan economy, worth 4.72 trillion táak'ins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,690 táak'ins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Yucatec Mayans make research institutes rich, many Yucatec Mayans twitch nervously at the sight of nuns, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Yucatec Maya as a reminder of their "special relationship", and the government has the power to seize property at will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Yucatec Maya's national animal is the jaguar.
Yucatec Maya is ranked 156,253rd in the world and 165th in Empires Forever United for Most Conservative, scoring 52 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
