Q: What is S.H.I.V. Nation? A: An online community that has been found around games as a tool to stimulate greater goals. Originally The Founder Zero Saru played a game of tag with friends where they would kill each other by using the "kill word" "Shiv!". The game of "Shiv" continued into adulthood branching into different social circles places of employment and has been a means of keeping relationships strong over time and distance. The game of "Shiv" turned into our calling card and our mantra. Is now an acronym that defines us. Same House Independent Visions. Members of Shiv Nation stand on the idea that we are all unique people who can come together and help each other prosper and grow. All while killing each other with kindness every day.
