The Apocalypse Blooms of Mayan Tulip is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by 2012 with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 20.887 billion Mayans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulipolis. The average income tax rate is 20.3%.

The very strong Mayan Tulipian economy, worth 809 trillion petals a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,763 petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Mayan Tulip's national animal is the armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mayan Tulip is ranked 297,272^nd in the world and 3^rd in Alliance of Christian Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.66 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
