Silvestre

A polity on Kivu.

After the end of the Long Night, Kivu received a large number of Human colonists attracted by work in the agricultural sector. The inhabitants are clustered around several large cities. The central areas of these cities are interconnected to centralized living and work quarters. Monorails serve to transport the people from their business to home.

History

Silvestre was founded by an energetic Solomani businessman. The nation has been controlled by his family ever since; they lead the state with a firm hand.

Silvestre is a traditional rival of the world's other state, the Duursu Confederation. The two nations are currently at peace, although centuries ago there were occasional wars along the borders. They signed a mutual nonaggression pact in 940.

Economy

Silvestre City, the nation's capital, is the site of a number of durable goods and perfume factories owned by Silvestre Consortium, which was founded by Ivan Silvestre, the leader of one of the first planetary colonies.

Citizens of Silvestre indeed often wear an excessive amount of perfume.
