The Shieldlands is a small isolationist nation that does not raid (outside of Alliance wars), nor gives raiders any quarter. Drug use is punished by sterilization. Rape is dealt with by castration, administered by the victim. Murder gets summary execution. Our penal colony is in the North Atlantic (200 miles out), so criminals are advised to learn to become strong swimmers who enjoy freezing water.. We don't have much crime...It is only in combat death that citizens may reach Valhalla, so they volunteer readily. The national sport is axe throwing. "Offering" peace better come with a GREAT offer, otherwise... I do occasionally take unconditional surrenders.
