Lirvian Sand Mining and Exploitation Colony

Flag of the LSMEC

Territory of the LSMEC

## Basic overview

The "Lirvian Sand Mining and Exploitation Colony" is a colonial entity created by the Crowndom of Lirvia on the 9th of june 2021, for the porpuses of resource exploitation.

Tho having it's own flag and defined territory, the LSMEC is not seperate from the Crowndom of Lirvia. It is merely a colonian extention.

It (LSMEC) was created on a previously unclaimed and uninhabited desert. It's mean reason for creation was the Crowndom of Lirvia's need for a reliable source of sand, for future usage in the making of tnt, glass and so on.

On the day of it's creation, the LSMEC was put under a colonial goverment to handle the colony. However, final say on what happend there was still the full responsibility of the central goverment of the Crowndom of Lirvia.

## History

**● The establishment of the LSMEC:**

The area the LSMEC is located in has no previous history. Before Lirvia annexed it as a colonial possession, it was a uninhabited desert that was never mentioned, and possibly even steped on before.

The LSMEC was created on the 9th of June 2021 for pure porpuse of resource exploitation, mainly sand. Shortly after it's creation the area it is located in was immediately being mined for it's sand.

## Geography

**● Short geographical description:**

The area of the LSMEC is a very flat desert had nothing in it except for a few rabbits. This is probably one of the biggest reasons the Crowndom of Lirvia decided to spesifically use this desert for her mining desires. She did not have to compete with anyone else over it.

The only other remarkable thing in the area is a pillager outpost.

**● Reasons why Lirvia took it:**

As stated by king Laksio | of the Crowndom of Lirvia himself: "The area is empty, no one probably ever glared at it. It has sand, a resource we desperately need, and by establishing a Lirvian colony on this territory, we won't have to rely on others for our sand supply, and also not have to compete with other nation's interests".

Lirvia's choosing for this region and not any else was predominantly because of it's flat terrain which was easy to mine, and easy and direct access to Lirvia through the Drop sea & Bottle sea, from the LSMEC respectively. This ment that transporting sand from the area wouldn't be controversial, as there were no hostile nations blocking or hindering any sort of access. This is unlike how it would've been if Laksio | decided to establish a desert colony to the west of the Kingdom of Masovia, and north of the Empire of Silindia, respectively.

Clearly, this specific desert was Lirvia's best choice for a good, cheap and fast sand mining colony.

## Economy

**● Impact on the Lirvian economy:**

As the LSMEC is not considered a seperate entity to the Crowndom of Lirvia, that means that it's economic output should be entierly counted as Lirvia's. So far, the area is being stripped of it's sand, and sandstone rapidly with little regard for the enviorment.

The area is planned to be 100% cleared of sand to maximize economic output from the colony. As far as we know, the Crowndom of Lirvia has no plans to establish any sort of permanent settlements in the area, or even keep it after it's resources are emptied. But we don't know this for sure.

There have not been any statistics of the LSMEC's economic impact on the Crowndom of Lirvia, but it is clear that the colony heavily increased Lirvia's sand supply.

**● Storage & supply to Lirvia:**

The colony is storing it's sand supplies in a somewhat hidden area. The resources gathered in the LSMEC will then be shipped to Lirvia for economic usage there.
