Across the Western Norian Steppe, many Samagi clans would roam the Shiven Isthmus. Clans often fought for control and the three major lakes in the Isthmus. The southern, less expansive tribes south of Shive would eventually found Henshi.

Most of Shive would fall under the Choi dynasty in the late 15th century, imposing a loose system of feudalism across Shive and neighboring lands to the west.

The Choi Dynasty was built upon extensive diplomacy, and had no professional military force of its own. The Choi had a policy of subdividing military power among the hundreds of fiefs across the Western Norian Steppe, however, directly administered local harbors, forts, and military installations, such as the Fort on East Point.
  +
  +
The Choi, although mostly isolationist, maintained relatively strong trade relations with Kafrica and the many nations along the Aontas.
  +
  +
During the 1660's, the decreasing supply of spices from Kafrica led their quality to be put into question. Merchants were accused of mixing in sawdust and gravel into the spices. Tensions heightened with the burning of the ''Obelisk'' in 1669 by an organized group of rioters.

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.
With the transportation of second line ships from [[Kafrica]] in the 17th century, piracy would become a prominent industry for the next two hundred years. Pirate coalitions were formed between clans. Using an archaic form of feudalism, manpower was allocated to ship building. Agriculture reemerged with the spread of parasites among the fish within the Aontas.
 
  +
  +
O personally headed the fleet, orchestrating the first [[Fire of Henshi (1691)]], the [[Sack of Moravi]] in 1692, the second [[Fire of Henshi (1694)]] ending Choi rule, and the twin [[Battles of Cath and Piast]] in 1699 in modern-day [[Tekkia]]. By 1700, the combined Shiven flotillas would amass forty victories in the Aontas, raiding multiple merchant vessels and towing them back to Shive for salvaging.

In most pirate flotillas, the rules of war were respected. However, summary punishments were decided on a case-by-case basis, with no supreme body of the law in the first republic.

The fleet established many colonies throughout the Aontas, pioneering naval exploration after making first contact with tribes in [[Veiid]]. The pirates transported ideas and people, including [[Patrism]] and its first missionaries, who spread the faith throughout the Aontas, leading to the first Patrist monastery in Shive. O endorsed Patrism, not out of belief, but for a more centralized and politically backed religion to further unite the Samagi as opposed to the widely varying loosely related folk religion in the Western Norian Steppe.

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, and the nation would fall into disarray.

Shive, (/ʃɪːv(e)/; Namjjog: /ʃɪv/, or /ŋɪv/), officially the Most Serene Republic of Shive, is the smallest nation on Kerbin by area. A city-state and 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 and Mydrilan to the west. 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 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.

History

Prehistory

Kerbal inhabitance has existed as 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 and shrimp. Early Shiven dwellings were made of lumber and straw and skirted the Norian frontier as well as the coast of Shive.

Samagi Feudalism

Across the Western Norian Steppe, many Samagi clans would roam the Shiven Isthmus. Clans often fought for control and the three major lakes in the Isthmus. The southern, less expansive tribes south of Shive would eventually found Henshi.

Most of Shive would fall under the Choi dynasty in the late 15th century, imposing a loose system of feudalism across Shive and neighboring lands to the west.

The Choi Dynasty was built upon extensive diplomacy, and had no professional military force of its own. The Choi had a policy of subdividing military power among the hundreds of fiefs across the Western Norian Steppe, however, directly administered local harbors, forts, and military installations, such as the Fort on East Point.

The Choi, although mostly isolationist, maintained relatively strong trade relations with Kafrica and the many nations along the Aontas.

During the 1660's, the decreasing supply of spices from Kafrica led their quality to be put into question. Merchants were accused of mixing in sawdust and gravel into the spices. Tensions heightened with the burning of the Obelisk in 1669 by an organized group of rioters. In the following years, many trade partners with cut ties with Shive, with the Choi's diplomatic lifeline severed. What remained was years of stagnation, with civil unrest growing in face of the monarchy's inaction to satisfy the Shiven people.

O Jun-yeo, a writer and educated military prodigy amassed a cult following through pseudo-religious preaching, citing divine righteousness for the expansion of the Samagi people. He raised a five hundred man militia by 1683, encouraging strikes amongst the Shiven work force. The Shiven authority was ineffective in quelling the rebellion, subsequently leading to the Choi fleeing to Henshi where they would continue to reign.

O Jun-yeo, 1699

First Republic

O Jun-yeo's earlier writings of a Shiven republic would inspire the first consular republic of Shive, of which, O became consul for life after a unanimous vote from newly found Shiven Senate, composed of former members of the Imperial Court.

The first republic was not a centralized government, with no written law.

Piracy

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 personally headed the fleet, orchestrating the first Fire of Henshi (1691), the Sack of Moravi in 1692, the second Fire of Henshi (1694) ending Choi rule, and the twin Battles of Cath and Piast in 1699 in modern-day Tekkia. By 1700, the combined Shiven flotillas would amass forty victories in the Aontas, raiding multiple merchant vessels and towing them back to Shive for salvaging.

In most pirate flotillas, the rules of war were respected. However, summary punishments were decided on a case-by-case basis, with no supreme body of the law in the first republic.

The fleet established many colonies throughout the Aontas, pioneering naval exploration after making first contact with tribes in Veiid. The pirates transported ideas and people, including Patrism and its first missionaries, who spread the faith throughout the Aontas, leading to the first Patrist monastery in Shive. O endorsed Patrism, not out of belief, but for a more centralized and politically backed religion to further unite the Samagi as opposed to the widely varying loosely related folk religion in the Western Norian Steppe.

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, and the nation would fall into disarray. 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.

The Death of O Jun-yeo, 2 June 1707

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 Shiven Senate into the unification of Shive, Henshi, and Shokon into the foundation of a second, strictly consular republican government.

After three years of negotiation, the second republic would be founded, with Ji becoming the first consul. Ji introduced reforms and emphasized equality, dismantling the Choi's ideas of class.
