The Nomadic Peoples of Shagras is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 379 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, the Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Shagras' national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the shell.
