The Free Land of Nature Mother is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 823 million Nature Motherians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nature Motherian economy, worth 39.0 trillion Kindnesses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,371 Kindnesses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nature Mother's national animal is the Nature Mother, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nature Mother is ranked 305,434^th in the world and 12,390^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 0.61 flags saluted per person per day.
