The people are considered highly compassionate and peaceloving. This translates itself into the foreign policy of the government.

Sword duels are still quite common in order to settle disagreements though they are no longer fought to the death.
Religion
Religion also plays an important role in the lives of most Shanagolians. There are two native reliigons: Plajal and Etpaix. Plajal is the oldest existing religion in Shanagolia. It has its roots in the writings of Jal et-Hyi from circa 800 BCE. Etpaix is a more recent religion that combines the significant traits of Islam, Chriatianity, Judaism, and Buddhism into one faith. Its origins still remain a mystery though it is often credited to merchants who adapted the different faiths for economic benfits.
