History & Background (Dossier)

During the Long Night this world was named Kig.

The agricultural outpost of Niirkhi is geared towards the feeding of Diishalum. Although virtually all its foodstuffs are sold to its industrial neighbor, it is still does not supply enough of Diishalum's needs to have any significant economic clout. Diishalum controls the prices of its imports from Niirkhi, and by extension, the wages of the local agricultural workforce.

Through overt (and covert) pressure the industrial concerns of Diishalum have an exploitative trade agreement which sees the imports from Niirkhi purchased at prices well below the market rate and exports to Niirkhi (manufactured and processed goods) sold at a premium. The seething resentment that this foster has led to a number of protracted and costly strike actions, which in turn has further eroded Niirkhi's finances and bargaining position. A possible resolution is in sight as the government of Irphothe has recently entered into negotiations for the Niirkhi harvest, and offer 10% above the price Diishalum currently pays.
