}}'''Shive''', (/ʃɪːv(eɪ)/; Namjjog: /sɪbʊ/), officially the '''Most Serene Republic of Shive''', is the smallest nation on [[Kerbin]] by area. A [[wikipedia:City-state|city-state]] and [[wikipedia:Republic|republic]], it is situated on East [[Kolus]] along the [[Western Norian Steppe]] by the [[Sea of Aontas]] with [[Neo-Mechani]] and [[Azuria]] to its immediate north. The majority spoken language is Namjjog. The country's territory comprises of the '''Walled City of Shive''' and the entirety of the Shiven Isthmus.

Inhabited by early Kolun [[Kerbal|Kerbals]] since at least 22,500 BCE, its proximity to the sea and access to fresh water has permitted its continued inhabitancy by the late Proto-Mechani peoples and the modern Samagi.

As a city, Shive's trade and extensive naval and later aerial history through the Sea of Aontas has influenced its maritime culture.

Shive is a developed country with emphasis on maritime commerce; it is heavily reliant on its state and civil fleet for defense and trade. Since the collapse of [[Mechani]], it has established its third consular republic and became a protectorate of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. It sees the highest GDP per capita and GDP growth in Kerbin.

== Etymology ==
The country of Shive is named after the Shive River west of the Isthmus, making the name a [[wikipedia:Misnomer|misnomer]]. The Shive River's name, in turn, is presumed to originate from the mid-antiquity war cry "시부", shouted by early hunter-gatherers on the Western Norian Steppe.

==History==

===Prehistory===
Kerbal inhabitance has existed early as 22,500 BCE, during the Paleolithic. Comprising of migrations from the Western Norian Steppe, the Proto-Mechani developed a sedentary and agrarian lifestyle, sustaining off a pescatarian diet of maize, shrimp, and Aontan and Kolusian fish. Early Shiven dwellings were composed of baked soil and later animal hide. The first extinctions in the area, most notably the Aontan [[wikipedia:Shrimp|decapods]] and the erasure of most species of [[wikipedia:Maize|maize]] have been attributed to Kerbal expansion. With the deficit in sources of food, the Samag peoples would look west of the steppe, resulting in the Shiven Isthmus being vastly underpopulated compared to other civilizations around the Aontan and Kolusian Seas.

The Shiven inhabitants are suspected to have practiced religion, with many communities bearing remnants of religious structures. Archaeological evidence has supported the idea that rituals of the like were conducted regularly and were often communal.

The first written mention of Shive was by east Kafrican pioneer, Bertholdt Kerr.

=== Jidae feudal period ===
Beginning in late antiquity, the Jidae Dynasty administered coastal regions of the Western Norian Steppe, including both Shiven and Henshian Isthmuses. Shive saw one of the first cases of [[wikipedia:Feudalism#History|feudalism]], with decentralized systems of agriculture and fishing. Coastal cities, such as Shive and Henshi, would see strong trade relations with Kafrican merchants, establishing the first diplomatic relations between Kolus and Kafrica. Many vassals laid along the west coast of the Kolusian Sea, united only by personal unions or similar economic interests, as was typical of the time.

During the 1500s, the spread of maritime travel introduced many ideas to the Kolusian Seas. The new ideas, including republicanism, would expose the flaws of what was considered an outdated form of government, being the decentralized feudal system of the Jidae. Even compared to other hierarchal systems of the time, the lack of a professional or even present military force as well as mismanagement of resources made the Samagi seek the need for change as well as a rise in political philosophy.

By 1601, Shive would become a port city, opening its docks to nations across the world for the first time. The spread of international trade also elevated the Jidae diplomatically, now that resources could be exchanged. During this time, naval manufacturing would become a popular industry in Shive.

Many privateers of the Jidaean fleet suffered from insufficient pay and poor leadership after the coronation of Yejo. A lack of enforcement within the ranks led to captains resorting to other measures, such as pillaging nearby ports. Because the Jidae Dynasty possessed a small regulatory body for maritime affairs, these crimes were often committed without punishment.

[[O Jun-yeo]], a Shokonese naval prodigy and writer, would petition the local courts to increase pay for sailors and privateers alike, however, was under the threat of being charged with treason, and would shortly thereafter live in brief hiding, later fleeing to Shive.

O would quickly become popular among exiled political dissidents and those who became unsatisfied with Jidae rule. In Shive, he would organize a mutiny with other captains and take hold of Shive's citadel, effectively aligning the city with the rebels.[[File:O Jun-yeo.png|thumb|O Jun-yeo, 1699]]
===First republic===
With the news of O's rebellion having yet reached the Jidaean crown, O would quickly assemble a provisional government with exiled noblemen and political dissidents.

==== Piracy ====
With the more aggressive policy of O's republic, came the reintroduction of piracy. Piracy however, was not only a tactic, but was a strict military doctrine.

Under O, Shive saw a dramatic increase in naval production, constructing a fleet heavily based on Kafrican designs. Feudalism was effectively brought to an end with O enforcing absolute control over Shive. While initially constructing merchant ships, the production of ships of the line would begin to enforce Shiven naval supremacy over reluctant merchants, later turning Shive into a sea-faring pirate republic.

O first saw combat in the [[Fire of Henshi]], where for 72 hours, Shiven ships bombarded the ports of Henshi and residential areas with [[wikipedia:Incendiary_device|incendiary munitions]], starting a fire that lasted for four days, destroying 60% of the city's residential and industrial centres, over the course of the three days, O managed and coordinated logistics to keep up the sustained fire. O's fleet withdrew after Henshian officials negotiated the sale of munitions to O.

O was killed on June 2, 1707 during the [[Siege of Bá]] in modern day [[Solaria]] when his ship, the ''I Taek-so,'' ran aground and was hit in the magazine by Kafrican coastal batteries, obliterating the hull and sinking two nearby gunboats. The fleet would subsequently leave the city, later ravaged by a tropical storm on its return. O was posthumously revered as a savior; his legacy being one of legend, with his birth and death later becoming major holidays in Shive, as well as Fort on East Point being renamed in his honor.

===Second republic===
Following O's death, infighting and mutinies within the fleet led to its dissolution and the effective collapse of Shiven society. Captain of the People, [[Ji Heun-ge]], would rally the College of Counts into the unification of Shive, Henshi, and Shokon into the foundation of a second, strictly consular republican government.

After a three month voting intermission, Ji would ascend to the Consul of Shive, being the only council to assume both titles of Captain of the People and the consulship.

Although the second republic also allowed for the ascension for a second consul, Ji would serve his first term with the second seat vacant.

The period during and after Ji's consulship would see a period of relative stability and peace; most policies in this period were created to establish Shive as a respectable and conventional power on Kolus. This peace however, was created by a heavy isolationist policy, Shive often traded with Kafrican powers through Henshian trading companies, with the Henshian armadas providing protection from Kolusian pirates. The O Faith Patrist movement would also reemerge in the 19th century, nearly two centuries after his death.

The Consuls of 1891 would attempt to implement sweeping modernization through the promotion of steam and rail, however, this worsened relations with the West Norian tribes, with railway projects often being postponed due to tribal sabotage and ambushes.

===Third republic===
The third republic came after the fall of the Mechani Union in 2152. A mostly bloodless revolution, the third republic was founded with no military and a strict neutrality policy.

However, under threats from across the strait, the neutrality policy would be greatly loosened, with Shive seeking foreign protection. In 2194, with Shive's growing economy and international trading prowess as a bustling port city in the Kolusian and Aontan Seas, the Consuls of Shive would apply for protection in the newly-found [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Legally, it was considered an extension of the Compact of Mutual Serenity in 1702 between the first republic and a confederation of [[Patrism|Patrist]] tribes in modern day [[Atreus]], [[Desovo]], and [[Novenad]].
