The Shanti of Shiva is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 21.254 billion Padmasanas 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Padmasana economy, worth 667 trillion Lingams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 31,408 Lingams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Shiva's national animal is the Nandi.

Shiva is ranked 83,124^th in the world and 4^th in The Himalayas for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,477.45 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
