The Kingdom of Shirvan is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 300 million Shirvanis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Shirvani economy, worth 11.8 trillion Shirvani manats a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,205 Shirvani manats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shirvan's national animal is the wolf.
Shirvan is ranked 61,783rd in the world and 3,247th in Balder for Safest, scoring 99.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
