Economy

Agriculture, mining, and tourism are mainstays of the Aventurine economy.

The colony's climate and topography allow for the cultivation of citrus, avocadoes, yucca, several varieties of maize, and a wide range of vegetables. Higher and drier areas of the colony are used as rangeland for livestock, most of which is sold and consumed domestically.

The colony's climate is, for much of the year, pleasantly warm yet cool enough to be agreeable to Coscivian sensibilities. This, along with the beautiful waters and sandy, sheltered beaches of Aventurine Bay have made the colony a major destination for Kiravian and foreign tourists alike. The tourism industry is centred on the city of Anjuna Beach, which offers high-quality hotels, dining venues, shops, and other services. In recent years, Anjuna Beach has become a notable outpost of the Kiravian electronic music scene, hosting many beachside concerts and becoming home to several well-regarded discothéques. A medium-sized independent Kirodance label, 82nd Degree Recordings, was established in Viramar in 21203.

Demographics

The colony is predominantly (90%) Coscivian, with Fiannrians (8%) constituting the largest minority. Coscivians of Western- and Southern Iaticate-speaking ethnosocial groups account for a majority of the population. The Ispem, Sîcutem, and Verdasinem are the largest ethnosocial groups in the state, though there are also significant numbers of Ardŏgnem, Salridem, Lexamem, Séyunans, Ardanans, Hisrovem, and Herumem. The descendants of Ańlem, Kaltem, Ańrisem, and Ærem transplanted from the Kiravian colonies of Aurada and Nerthalia make up the second-largest contingent among the Coscivian population.

Just over half of Aventurines declare Coscivian Orthodoxy as their religion, and over a quarter of the remainder profess Roman Catholicism. Ruricanism, a Coscivian monotheïstic religion, has a significant following, especially in syncretism with Coscivian Orthodoxy.
