Babylon
The Code of Hammurabi, created around 1754 BC in ancient Babylon, is considered one of the first major collections of laws in history.

No. Not even close. No country can compare to a legendary, powerful city such as Babylon. Babylon has contributed so much to the growth of mankind, from science, mathematics, economics, diversity, law, language and architecture. Babylon was the first to make human rights into law. Babylon's human right laws, later in history, inspired the United Kingdom to write and enforce the first modern human right laws. America didn't have any such laws until over 100 years after the UK (and Europe) implemented theirs. Even the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greek, Ancient Romans and British Empire, some of the most powerful civilisations in history, admitted in literature that nobody will ever be able to replace or replicate the glory of Babylon. The ruins of Babylon sit in Iraq.

The earliest known written laws can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, with examples such as the Code of Hammurabi in Babylon around 1754 BC. These laws were inscribed on stone monuments or clay tablets to establish rules for society. Written laws eventually spread to other ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
