The Headwaters of Womb of Nations is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Genetrix with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.32 billion Embryos love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barrow. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Embryonic economy, worth a remarkable 2,049 trillion amber baubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 198,627 amber baubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Embryonic diplomacy is by the book, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Womb of Nations's national animal is the Lioness, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Montane Cult.

Womb of Nations is ranked 180,436th in the world and 4th in Steppe for Most Stationary, with 76.7649161482 days.
