Maristella: Difference between revisions

Coribus has also grown in its geostrategic importance. The island's central location, coupled with its economic significance, has led Caphiria to establish a modest naval base on the island. This serves dual purposes: protecting the invaluable mineral resources and asserting maritime dominance in the region. Trade routes have been established, primarily connecting Coribus with the mainland of Caphiria and other nations in Crona. Today, Coribus has a population of approximately 275,000, the majority of whom are prisoners. A staff population of approximately 35,000 oversees prison and labor operations, ensuring the steady extraction and processing of the precious minerals. These employees come from a mix of Caphirian mainlanders and a few international hires with specialized expertise. The penal colony, while still active, has seen reforms over the years. In response to international scrutiny and human rights concerns, Caphiria has introduced vocational training programs for prisoners, allowing them to acquire skills that can be used upon release. Moreover, a portion of the revenue generated from the rare earth metal trade is reinvested into rehabilitation programs, emphasizing the nation's commitment to progressive penal practices.
