The '''Kiravian Remnant''' refers to the continuation of the constitutional government of the Kiravian Federacy as a {{wp|rump state}} following the 211XX Kirosocialist takeover of [[Great Kirav]] and [[Sydona]] and the establishment of the [[Kiravian Union]]. From its new seat on the island of [[Æonara]], the Kiravian Remnant claimed to be the legitimate government of all Kiravian lands and retained the loyalty of most Kiravian overseas colonies and protectorates.

During the ensuing period known as the [[Kiravian Sunderance|Sunderance]], the Kiravian Remnant underwent a process of {{wp|state capitalism|state-capitalist}} economic development and modernisation, as well as a series of political evolutions in response both internal and external changes. However, political life throughout the Remnant era was thoroughly dominated by the [[Renaissance Party]] under the leadership of Prime Executive [[Séan Kæśek]] and his successors.

In 21185, following a political and economic crisis on the mainland, [[Restoration of 21185|the Federalist government returned to power]], ending the Remnant era.

==History==
The history of the Kiravian Remnant begins with the defeat of the [[Farravonian Counterrevolution]], resulting in the Federalists losing their last remaining territories on [[Great Kirav]]. 

==Territorial Extent==
Those territories that remained under Federalist control after the loss of [[Great Kirav#Farravonia|Farravonia]] formed the Kiravian Remnant, officially designated as the '''Free Area of the Kiravian Federacy''' (''Helvisarna Kiravix Rektārká''). Areas held at the beginning of the Remnant but lost before the Restoration are marked in italics.

*[[Atrassica]]
*[[Uruvun|Éusa]]
*[[Porfíria|Kiravian Cusinaut]]
*''[[Koskenkorva]]'' ([[Koskenkorva#Kirosocialism|lost in 211YP]])
*[[Krasoa Islands]]
*''[[Melian Isles]]'' (lost in 211YR)
*[[New Ardmore]]
*[[Sarolasta]]
*[[Saxalin Islands]]
*[[Seváronsa]]
*[[Suderavia]]

*[[Saint Kennera]] and [[Pribraltar]] (associated states)
*[[Scapa]] (protectorate)

In addition, the Kiravian Remnant continued the Kiravian claim to the disputed island [[Wintergen]], which has been administered by [[Burgundie]] since 1823 AD.

==Politics and Governance==
The Kiravian Remnant claimed authority from the Constitution of the Kiravian Federacy as it stood written on [Phase] [Month], 211XX, remaining a {{wp|crowned republic|crowned}}, {{wp|asymmetric federalism|asymmetric}} {{wp|federal republic}} ruling in the name of the [[Marble Emperor#Basswood_Emperor|Basswood Emperor]], just as it had been on the mainland. However, in order to address the challenges of exile, the government took various liberties in its interpretation and application of constitutional law, and made extensive use of emergency measures and transitional provisions to circumvent constitutional impediments.


The exact configuration of the government varied over time as it adapted to new and changing conditions in Æonara. Moreover, how the government functioned in practice was often quite different to what was claimed on paper, with some political scientists describing the Remnant as a {{wp|military dictatorship}} or a {{wp|closed anocracy}} for certain periods during the exile. 

The Renaissance Party dominated political life in the Remnant for its duration, with minority parties subordinated to the RP as part of the National Renewal Front. Parties outside of the National Renewal Front were barred from entering politics in 211XV by a temporary constitutional amendment ratified ahead of the first Stanora election in exile. These restrictions were lifted in 211XW. Other parties in the NRF included the Christian Democratic Party, the United Agrarian Party, and Social Democrats of the Kiravian Federacy, represented by [[Soran Akēvarin]]. Even during the period of single-party rule, contentious politics persisted, and factional struggles within the Renaissance Party had a major role in charting the course of public policy. The main divisions within the RP were between the “movement Renaissance Men” who stayed close to the path laid out by V.R. Sarosten and Séan Kæśek, the traditionalist-conservative “Old Right” composed mainly of local Æonarans (especially United Empire Loyalists), and the [[Restarkism|Restarkist]]-influenced [[United Allegiance Society]].


The federal nature of the state was retained in exile. However, at least with respect to the administration of Æonara, power became much more centralised in the federal government than it had previously been, while many of the more peripheral colonies became essentially self-governing during this time.

One of the liberties taken with constitutional interpretation during the exile was the creation of {{wp|corporative federalism|“federal subjects” that were non-territorial in nature}} or had only a very limited and patently contrived territory, in order to afford presidential appointees and minority coalition factions representation in the rump Stanora and Council of States.

===External Relations===
====Relations with the Kiravian Union====
''See: [[Kiravian Sunderance]]''

Both the Kiravian Remnant and Kiravian Union claimed to be the sole legitimate government of all Kiravian lands, and as such neither government recognised the other. After an initial period of rejecting all contact with one another, the two governments quietly established lines of regular informal communication beginning in 211YZ, mostly through intermediary countries such as [[The Cape]]<sup>?</sup>. 

====Foreign Relations====
The foreign policy of the Kiravian Remnant was directed toward the régime’s core goals of ensuring its own independent survival and maintaining widespread recognition as the legitimate Kiravian government. 

Relations were particularly strong between the Remnant and its South Cronan neighbours, such as [[the Cape]] and [[Paulastra]] (with which it shared a common Coscivian heritage) and the strongly anti-communist Arcerion. Great care was also taken to maintain good relations with preëminent world powers [[Urcea]] and [[Caphiria]].

The Remnant made {{wp|anti-communism}} a core plank of its political rhetoric and foreign policy, and as such took a hostile stance towards revolutionary socialist governments in [[Carna]], [[Kloistan]], and elsewhere.

[League of Nations?]

==Society and Culture==
After the loss of the Melian Isles, the population living under the Remnant numbered approximately XX million, with a majority of this number concentrated in Æonara and the bulk of the remainder in Sarolasta and Kiravian Cusinaut.

The population of Æonara and the other remaining island colonies (except for Sarolasta) was overwhelmingly Coscivian, with small preëxisting minorities of indigenous Cronans and Lusonic people. ____ and Scapa were predominantly Celtic, and there was a strong Celtic element in [[Uruvun|Èusa]] as well, and these areas absorbed most Celtic anti-communist émigrés, though some settled in Cusinaut or Æonara, particularly the upland regions of West and North Æonara. Small émigré communities of Kópistonians, Érhuans, Skithanawites, Exoésans, and Wastani settled in Æonara, [[Atrassica]], or [[Suderavia]], and a small number of [[Aboriginal Kiravites]], mostly military or members of Catholic anti-communist militia evacuated from Farravonia, arrived as well.

The population of [[Sarolasta]] was mainly of mixed native Polynesian and Coscivian settler ancestry to varying degrees (see [[Sarolasta#Society_&_Culture|Demography of Sarolasta]]). To ensure political stability on those islands, the [[Sarolasta Reform Act]] was passed to allow mixed and assimilated Polynesian communities to be formally recognised as Coscivians and improve the legal status of the unassimilated native population.

The preëxisting Coscivian population of the Free Area was mainly Æonaran and Umcaran (in Æonara), [[Kir people|Kir]] (throughout the island colonies and Cusinaut), Èusan (in Èusa), and Suderavian (in Sudaravia) with many [[Austral Coscivians]] in Saxalin and Krasoa. The emigré population was much more diverse: Although Kir people accounted for a plurality, a great many Farravonian Coscivians, [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Ensciryan Coscivians]], [[Taństan Coscivians]], and a smattering of smaller groups fled to the Remnant as well. South Coscivians and Kalverþan Coscivians fleeing the Kiravian Union mostly relocated to Caphiria and [[Cartadania]]. In Æonara the "Mainlanders" came to form a distinct social group, settling mainly in the [[Sirana|Sirana metropolitan area]] or the ''[[Æonara#Geography|lúaśad]]'' uplands and using Kiravic or West Coast Marine Coscivian as their main languages for social interaction.

There was a considerable Muslim contingent within the military evacuee and emigrant communities, as most Muslim communities in Great Kirav were strong opponents of Kirosocialism and many were members of/fighters for the Renaissance Party or its Islamic auxiliary. Krasoa and Sarolasta had significant preëxisting Muslim communities.

==Economy==
The Kiravian Remant had a capitalist economy, albeit with a high degree of state involvement in economic planning and considerable state-corporate collusion. Most industrial growth was concentrated in [[Æonara]] and [[Rovaīon]].
