Shashnimyn society is open-minded, family-based, closed loop and long term thinking.  Balance, tolerance and respect are emphasized.  As with any planet, there is a great deal of variation approaching problems.  There is a single world citizenship agreement, with conditions applying to Nations or villages as necessary.  Law is nationally enforced, but internationally recognized.  There is a global council, with proportional representation.  A universal language for trade is common, but dialects and original languages flourish.  Information is far-travelling, but goods and myn don't move as far.
