Inkuv
In countries of Coscivian heritage, an inkuv is a type of along a roadway. The inkuv originated during the First Coscivian Empire as a feature of the First Empire's Verticalist economic system, which required infrastructural innovations such as well-maintained overland roadways to facilitate the state-directed redistribution of goods and labour.

Many cities and towns have grown out from an inkuv as their nucleus.

The constitution of the Confederal Republics of Kirav explicitly granted the confederal government authority to build inkuya along postal and defence roads. This authority was retained under subsequent Kiravian constitutions and remains today, although modern inkuya along the interstate highways are owned and maintained by individual federal subjects.

In modern Kiravia, an inkuv is a or, though often with features and amenities that hearken back to earlier inkuya. Inkuya along modern Kiravian interstate highways typically include a small nondenominational.

Demomap
Demomap is an indeterminate location of interest to Coscivian prehistory and dark philology, with great significance to reconstructing the chronology of the peopling of Great Kirav. It is a recurring element in Coscivian traditional histories and mythologies, and features prominently in the origin myths and oral histories of numerous Kiravian ethnic groups, many of whom hold Demomap to have been their ancestral homeland.

The name Demomap is also used in modern academia to refer to the point of origin for the Mesolithic, - migrants from Levantia to Great Kirav who contributed [haplotype] to the Kiravian gene pool.

The questions of where and Demomap is have vexed Coscivian scholars for hundreds of years, and the modern scientific quest for the "historical Demomap" has been fraught with ambiguities and complications.

According to Dr. Jumbuck Jones, Y-Chromosomal Demomap is probably in Faneria.

Demomap is often used in idiomatic expressions by Kiravians. For example, a

Xides é rædur skúl? - "Where's your brother?" Des Demomav. - "Where Demomap."

Things named after Demomap: -A space shuttle -Several counties -A vacation resort -A casino in Paulastra probably

Duties of the Federal Subjects

 * Maintenance of a system of household registration

Colour Wars
The Colour Wars were series of low- to medium-intensity civil conflicts that were fought in various locations across Great Kirav, though mostly in its easterly regions, from [YEAR] to [YEAR].

Analysis: The Colour Wars represented a condition of profound disunity and dissension at all levels of Kiravian society, going beyond mere class conflict or the broad ideological, sectional, or racial divisions underpinning most proper civil wars and complicated by myriad localised s and fractured élites. Delegitimisation of public authority and the governing powers was also important. The conflicts spurred the growth of political movements such as Coscivian nationalism, Political Shaftonism, and Kirosocialism that advanced new ordering principles to unify Kiravian society and provide renewed purpose to politics.

Historiography: The historiography of the colour wars remains contentious. Western writings on the conflict and the official Kirosocialist historiography established as orthodoxy under the Kiravian Union both emphasise the class dimension of the conflict.

Politics of Etivéra
Etivéra has a coalitional presidential pattern of politics similar to that of the Kiravian federal government, in which policy is shaped by the independently elected Governor's efforts to build a pro-administration majority coalition in the legislature by agreeing to a common agenda.

Post-Kirosocialist Etivéra has a political landscape dominated by three major party-groups that serve as both legislative caucuses and electoral alliances. These are the Coalition for a New Etivéra (Shaftonist-democratic, conservative-liberal, and pro-SRA), Change to Win Coalition (Kirosocialist, left-wing populist, and pro-NDA), and Popular Front (, centrist, and pro-CSU). As no group ever wins an outright majority in its own right, majority coalitions are usually formed by agreement between the Popular Front and either of the two other groups (sometimes with smaller parties or independents involved), or by any one of the major groups obtaining the support of smaller parties, independents, and (only rarely) dissident members of the other major groups.

Federal Astronomical Calculator
The Federal Astronomical Calculator (Rektārkax Iselrakénax Karabistuv) is a  located in Eregion, Hanoram, outside of Kartika, and operated under the ægis of the Federal Spaceflight Authority. The National Astronomical Calculator Programme was initiated in 211XX under the Kiravian Union, and has undergone several complete hardware overhauls as decades have gone by. Originally intended for calculations in astrophysics, astrometrics, and aerospace engineering, the FAC is now used for a wide array of civilian governmental applications, including weather and climate modelling,

Constitutional Law of Kiravia
The Constitutional law of Kiravia (Coscivian: Stórnoálda, literally "metalaw" or "law of laws") comprises the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy (Livnifîlon Kiravix Rektārká), the Statute of Liberties (Fîlon Helviskya), binding rulings and tōngan (judicial consensus) by constitutional courts, and unwritten conventions, customs, and traditions governing the configuration and operation of the Kiravian polity.

Federal Districts Commercial Control Act & Repeal Thereof
The Federal Districts Commercial Control Acts were a series of Kiravian federal (and confederal) legislation enacted for the purpose of restricting commercial activity in the nation's two federal districts, the District of Coīnvra] and the [[Interlake District.

The selection of Kartika (then merely a medium-sized town) as the federal capital of Kiravia and the demarcation of the lands surrounding it as a federal district separate from any state and subordinate directly to the Stanora was an uncontroversial agreement that was believed to balance the interests of more northerly and southerly parts of the new federation and ensure the capital city's political neutrality. However, as the size of the [federal or confederal? probably federal but not sure] government and the scope of its power expanded and Kartika began to grow into a proper city along with it, concerns arose that Kartika would eventually become a and the country's premier economic centre, eclipsing the other major cities at the time, Béyasar, Valēka, Eriadun, and Primóra. The states abutting the Disctict of Coīnvra - Hanoram and Ventarya - feared that merchants from their states would relocated to the capital district and deprive them of tax revenue. More principled concerns were raised in the newspapers of the day that the emergence of Kartika as a "new Era" would lead to harmful political centralisation and even - in more impassioned letters - the end of the Republic and a return to Verticalism.

The first Act, the District of Coīnvra Commerce Control Act, forbade merchants operating from the District from engaging in international trade and from selling goods to customers in the states or to Aboriginal tribes. Merchants already trading from the district under existing licenses could continue to operate in the town of Éamonsar and the parish of Arþodun, subject to taxation and regulation by Hanoram (in Éamonsar) and Ventarya (in Arþodun).

The Interlake District Commercial Ordinance was born of similar concerns - that it would create a federally-controlled national economic core which would depress the growth potential of other cities in the Inland Seas region, and that it would deprive surrounding states and territories of revenue. However, its issuance was more contentious than the District of Coīnvra Commerce Control Act had been, as many in the federal government felt that such a city would be beneficial for the economic development of the region and for maintaining federal authority and political cohesion as the Inland Seas began to rival the Eastern Seaboard economically. Some, such as [XYZ Lacuna], thought that a new federal capital should be established in the district, as it was more centrally-located on the island continent.

Repeal -

Most provisions of the acts were repealed under the Rénkédar administration. This occurred in a prevailing political climate favourable to economic liberalisation and enhancing freedom of trade and movement. However, it is accepted that the primary impetus for repeal was the severe downturn in the Capital District's economy and standard of living that had accompanied the post-Kirosocialist downsizing of the national government. It was hoped that lifting restrictions on private enterprise in the district would help to alleviate unemployment, crime, and urban decay.

Legacy - The effects of the Acts are still visible in the District of Coinvra. The district's economy is dominated by government and the service sector. Heavy industry and the architectural and social legacies thereof remain entirely absent from the city, and a handful of medium-sized commercial breweries are its largest manufacturing operations by workforce and units of output. Most other industrial enterprises are small operations dedicated to the manufacture of knowledge-intensive high-value-added specialty goods, such as telescopes, diving watches, and custom computer components.
