New Shanti

New Shanti is an island nation on the northeastern border of the Federation of New Udonia.

History
In 2019 due to the secession of Duilio and the annexation of Shanti by Katashi, there was a mass-migration crisis. This culminated in one of New Udonia's districts: Neta, offering the Shanti people refuge on a private island, which was to be known as New Shanti.

Geography
The geographic environment of Shanti was full of mangrove swamps. The mangrove swamps surrounded dry land, full of rich gems and other rare earth metals which were overturned by the eruption. The mangrove swamp acted as a natural border, with the only way into the nation being well-groomed bridges and roads.

Demographics
The demographics of New Shanti are highly diverse. The people of New Shanti are called Shanti. The majority of Shanti practice Hinduism and speak Hindi.

Government
The government of Shanti was an anarcho demarchy. The Guru of Shanti realized the fallacies of no legal order, due to the abuse the Shanti suffered under Katashi. In order to rectify this, it was decided that New Shanti would be a voluntaryist community, where any residents had to sign a social contract detailing that they would abide by the regulations of the community. If they violated these regulations, they were expected to leave, and if they failed to do so peacefully, they would be escorted away by New Udonia's, always helpful to oblige, armed personnel.

Economy
The economy of Shanti was based upon the jewelery industry, based upon the large underground resources of gems and other rare earth metals. New Shanti lacks these mineral deposits, although the virtually untapped andisol (volcanic fertile soil) of the island makes drug cultivation lucrative. Due to New Udonia's deregulation of drug laws, New Shanti is free to market drugs for a wide variety of medicinal and recreational purposes.
