| − | Kerbal inhabitance |
+ | Kerbal inhabitance in Kolus began relatively late: circa. 200 CE, after the Axial Age. Comprising of migrations from the Western Norian Steppe, the Proto-Mambic 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. Nomadic in nature, the population gradually shifted east and became what would be the modern Samagi and later Aviennic, inhabiting Shive. |

| − | 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. |

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. |

||
| − | 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. |

||
| − | |||
| − | 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. |

||

| − | 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]]. |

Shive, (/ʃɪːv(eɪ)/; Namjjog: /sɪbʊ/), 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 bordering Viskaria to the east, 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, above the Huncheon Lake System.
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-Mambic 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; the southern border of Shive. However, the origin of the river's name remains relatively unknown. Modern sources suggest that it means "life" or "bosom" in Proto-Mambic.
History
Prehistory
Kerbal inhabitance in Kolus began relatively late: circa. 200 CE, after the Axial Age. Comprising of migrations from the Western Norian Steppe, the Proto-Mambic 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 decapods and the erasure of most species of maize have been attributed to Kerbal expansion. Nomadic in nature, the population gradually shifted east and became what would be the modern Samagi and later Aviennic, inhabiting Shive.
The Shiven inhabitants are suspected to have practiced rituals, 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. These have been grouped into the Burric folk religion.
Samagi migration
The modern Samagi descend from the Mambic and Norian peoples; migrating across central Kolus over the course of four centuries. The Samagi descended from Root-Burric cultures, who were nomadic in nature due to the climate of the steppe. Their descendants, the Reposian, Mechani, and Aviennic cultures would become sedentary as they settled near the coast.
Feudal dynasties
The Western Norian Steppe would be home to many civilizations. One of the first major dynasties was the Jidae. According to legend, the city of Jidae (suspected to be east of modern day Shokon) was founded by an archer of the same name. However, the modern consensus was that Jidae became one of the first sedentary settlements west of the Mamb River Valley, and it gradually grew over the course of three hundred years.

The rise of Novenadian emigrés have led to a slight increase in the number of Reformed and Veiidic-Baskayan Patrists, comprising 0.6% and 0.2% of the population respectively.
