Suradia is a self-governing Kiravian colony.

History

Though the time of discovery is unknown, the first Kiravian settlers in Suradia arrived as a mass immigration in 19838. The colony had excellent soil, and a mild subtropical continental forest climate that was excellent for farming. Suradia quickly became a considerable agricultural export colony.

Society

Suradia's chiefly agricultural economy has created a stratified class system, based on occupation and land ownership. The lowest class is made up of the working poor day labourers and other non-permanent personnel. Above them are permanent farm labourers. THe next rung on the societal ladder is a proletariat of people who rent poor-quality mountain or forest land to farm, and a class of non-agricultural plantation workers involved in processing, machinery matenance, and construction. Sharecroppers, small-time farmers, buisnessmen, and other such persons make up a vaguely defined collection of middle classes. Plantation owners dominate the upper echelon.

Economy

Suradia's economy is based on production of agricultural products for export to Kirav.
