Internet in Kiravia

The Internet (Coscivian: [no word yet OOC]) is an increasingly important part of the Kiravian communications ecosystem.

62.6% of Kiravians are regular internet users, and an additional 11.6% are casual or occasional users.

Kiravia is home to a large number of websites and online services that cater to the Kiravian market, offering better localisation support for the Coscivian languages and scripts, Coscivian numerals, the Coscivian calendar and timekeeping systems, and Coscivian units than more globally popular international sites offering comparable features.

Dialup
Kiravia Online claims that Kiravia is home to the largest population of dialup customers in Ixnay, most of whom live in inland states of Great Kirav, rural Sydona, or remote settlements in the Cronan colonies. The website kópalalíonn.kr ("turtle-net") serves as a directory of "dial-up friendly" websites with basic HTML to enable faster loading, including email, news, social networking, and other online services tailored to the needs of dialup users.

Notable Sites and Services

 * eBay is the leading Kiravia-based marketplace, backed by the retail and logistical wings of the BTC Group.
 * MonoBook.kr is a free that anyone can edit. Even you.
 * Ēltivēmra.kr - (Ænglish: "PotatoWorld") Site for sharing photographs of prized potatoes, potato-based recipes, and the rich genre of potato-related humour.
 * Bibliotheca Obscura - of digital printed material, including books, academic journals, repair manuals, and other publications, most of which are distributed contrary to  claims. The service is registered in both Knassania State and the Daxian territory of Zhijun, making the appropriate jurisdiction for legal action by copyright holders unclear.

Regulatory Environment
Theoretically, primary responsibility for regulating the internet in Kiravia lies with the federal government, as per the Intercourse Clause of the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy, which establishes federal authority to regulate "commerce and communications across and between federal subjects". Because most internet traffic in the Federacy crosses multiple federal subjects, the federal government's ability to assert jurisdiction in matters related to the Internet is wide-reaching, though not unlimited (see Union v. Metrea). Individual federal subjects also have the authority to regulate Internet use within their borders including such matters as the provision of internet service and infrastructure, and the taxation of online purchases.

In practice, however, internet regulation has become an important example of concurrent federal and provincial jurisdiction. Federal legislation and agencies have tended to focus on 'macro'-level systemic matters such as technical standards, infrastructure, cybersecurity readiness, and regulation of digital finance. 'Micro'-level regulatory matters concerning the online activities of individual persons or entities generally fall to the provinces. This arrangement has become especially consequential with regard to, as requests to shut down servers hosting pirated material usually require the coöperation of provincial authorities who are often unable and/or unwilling to take timely action. International Business Monthly notes that

Within the federal bureaucracy, internet-related matters are the responsibility of the Executive for Signals, Wiring, and Digital Development.
