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

A number of Silvestre was founded by an energetic former Solomani businessman and eventually was continued by his family, who 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 is the center 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.

Cultural Notes

The Duursu Confederation has long required couples wanting a marriage license to wait one year before the ceremony, to undergo genetic testing and attend a six-month marriage seminar. Citizens of Silverstre often wear an excessive amount of perfume.

De

It is rumored that a prince from the Empire of Olduvai is courting Karlina Silvestre, an executive vice president of Silvestre Constortium. The prince has been buying hundreds of acres of land near the polar region, some say to establish a lakefront resort.

Kixum Interstellar Business

Kivu exports a large number of raw and processed agricultural products to surrounding systems. Clients include the Hiver client worlds as well as the Mercantile Concord. Its pleasant climate and fertile soil have made it one of the most popular agricultural exporters in the subsector.

A small percentage of exports include life plants like the Bukiilli Shrub, which are used for medicinal purposes offworld.

Kixum Inter-polity Relations

The Duursu Confederation is independent enough never to have considered applying for client state status when the Imperium is dozens of parsecs away. They are happy with the business that the Scout Base in the system provides and leave it alone.
