Shive, (/ʃɪːve/; 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 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 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 reestablished the monarchy and become a protectorate of the Veiidic Commonwealth.

History

Prehistory

Early Kerbal inhabitance has existed since 22,500 BCE, 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.

Piracy

The Choi Dynasty was built upon extensive diplomacy, and had no professional military force of its own.

During the late 19th century, unpredictable ocean currents would sweep many of the merchant ships from Kafrica west, some landing in Shive.

The Choi headed construction of the first Shiven fleet, however, the mostly agrarian, uneducated and underdeveloped peoples of Shive complicated matters, with the fleet finished in the early 20th century.

Following a devastating storm near the coasts of modern day Solaria, the subsequent Battle of the Aontas in 1930 led to the catastrophic rout of the pirate flotilla. With the navy unable to pay its sailors, rampant crop failure, and mutinies across the fleet, later led to famine in the mainland.
