Nation Creation

Nation creation in Heaven's Wake involves the spending of nation points in order to flesh out the infrastructure and abilities of your nation.

Each nation has 40 points to spend.

High-Tech
Your technological basis is above the norm, while you have the same kit, it's better designed, functions more reliably and has a higher output and maybe just looks more streamlined.
