The United Mayan Confederation of Costa Hermosa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Chief with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.167 billion Costa Hermosans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tikal. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Costa Hermosan economy, worth 584 trillion Ameroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,404 Ameroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, Costa Hermosa is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Tikal Times is sold out, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Costa Hermosa's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mayan religion.

Costa Hermosa is ranked 4,805^th in the world and 1^st in Praecolumbianas for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.17 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
