'''Koskenkorva''' is an island state of the [[Kiravian Federacy]] located to the northeast of [[Great Kirav]] in the Sea of Valēkas. Although widely regarded as a backwater shithole by Kiravians elsewhere, Koskenkorva is of paramount importance to the prehistory of the Coscivian peoples and is accepted to be the point of departure for the most recent peopling of [[Great Kirav]], and therefore of great interest to scholars seeking to shine light into the black box of [[Coscivian civilisation#Deep History|Coscivian Deep History]].  

==History==
===Prehistory===
The known history of the [[Coscivian civilisation#People|Coscivian peoples]] in Ixnay begins on Koskenkorva.  The earliest evidence of human habitation dates back 20,000 to 30,000 years.

===Federalist Period===

===Kirosocialism===
Kirosocialism held little appeal for the average Koskenkorvan, given its limited industrial development and widespread collective village ownership of land. The ''Xēmbra'' denounced the declaration of the [[Kiravian Union]] and the island became a safe haven for loyalist Kiravian Navy ships fleeing the Northeastern naval bases, as well as for anti-communist emigrés. Koskenkorva remained a Federalist stronghold until after the defeat of the [[Farravonian Counterrevolution]] in [YEAR] left Kirosocialist forces free to finally mount an assault on the island. The rump KFR government based in [[Æonara]] could no longer realistically maintain its lines of communication and was forced to evacuate its forces. Many emigrés, some being displaced for the second time, were able to escape to [[Suderavia]] and [[Scapa]]. Valkadun, which had seen its coastal defence artillery lifted by the retreating Federalist troops, surrendered to the Red Fleet without firing a shot. The Xēmbra fled inland to Kosovo and attempted to rally a militia to resist the invaders, but the lightly-armed and poorly-organised Koskenkorvan militia proved no match for Red Army shock troops. Most of the remaining loyalist government was captured at Kosovo or the northern village of Hyaloñ in [Month] [Year], and the Xēmbra was collectively tried and publically executed in Valkadun in [Month]. A low-level guerilla insurgency would continue in densely-forested backwoods areas.

An already poor and remote region, Koskenkorva would not fare well under Kirosocialist rule. The island was declared off-limits to foreign trade and visitors, and even travel by KU citizens was tightly restricted by the Ministry of Public Security.

Koskenkorva represents a unique cultural fusion of Coscivian (that is to say, Cosco-Adratic) and Elutic culture. In the centuries since the Cromwelute Wars, the Koskenkorvan Coscivians and Koskenkorvan Elutes have come to generally consider themselves a single people differentiated into Coscivian-speaking and Elutic-speaking communities. Koskenkorvans account for over 90% of the state's population, with about 55% of the total being primarily Elutic-speaking and 35% of the total primarily speaking Koskenkorvan Coscivian. Due to linguistic and local administrative reforms in the 21190s, individuals can only report themselves as Elutophone, Coscophone, or Other/Deaf for administrative purposes such as school enrolment and [[Passport system in the Kiravian Federacy|internal passports]]. However, an estimated 6-10% of ethnic Koskenkorvans are natively bilingual, many of whom were raised in cross-linguistic households.

For federal statistical and {{wp|affirmative action}} purposes, Coscivian-speaking Koskenkorvans are classified as Coscivians, whereas Elutic-speaking Koskenkorvans are placed in the National Minority category. The state government does not recognise this distinction.

Religious life in Koskenkorva's true cities and larger towns is not altogether different from that of smaller cities and towns in Northeast and North Coast Kirav. In rural Koskenkorva, religion is, like everything else, a community affair, and most villages have only one congregation to which everyone belongs. Weekly church attendance in rural Koskenkorva is "effectively 100%", according to the Coscivian Orthodox Diocese of Kosovo. 

The immediately pre-Christian religious environment of Koskenkorva is a matter of some debate, but the most commonly accepted characterisation is a foundation of Cosco-Adratic folk religion overlaid with Sarostivism and diverse syncretic elements from various Coscivian monotheist movements and primordial nature-centred rituals. The island was gradually Christianised during the Xth century, with missionary work begun by Celtic apostles from the Levantine mainland and seen through by later generations of [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Ĥeiran Coscivian]] churchmen. The largest religious bodies in Koskenkorva are the Coscivian Orthodox Church, Insular Apostolic Church, and Catholic Church, followed by the Koskenkorvan People's Church, a Lutheran denomination. There are clear regional patterns as to the denominational affiliation of village churches. Cosco-Adratic villages on the west coast tend to be Insular Apostolic and Elutic villages Lutheran or Orthodox. The hinterland is more uniformly Orthodox and the northeast coast is mixed Orthodox/Apostolic with an Orthodox majority. The southeast coast and far south are more mixed, with a Catholic plurality. The far north has a larger Lutheran minority.

Koskenkorvans are stereotyped as laconic, earthy, tough, solitary, and rather depressed, as shaped by their harsh environment, tumultuous history, and dismal weather.

==Economy==
Farming, fishing, lumbering and mining are the historical mainstays of the Koskenkorvan economy. Over one-third of Koskenkorvan households are directly involved in fishing or agriculture. Most agriculture is for subsistence purposes, growing staples such as cale, potatoes, chickens, hogs, and mushrooms.

Since reunification with Kiravia, tourism has grown into a major industry in Koskenkorva, with thousands of mainland Kiravians travelling to visit the state's pristine lakes, breathtaking seaside cliffs and fjords, Coscivian historical sites, and {{wp|puffin}} colonies. This tourism trade has also given rise to cottage industries in handicrafts, local pastries, and mead.

Meridiælum SAK, headquartered in Kārtulin, is the second-largest Kiravian producer of bottled water, most of which is sourced from springs and aquifers in Koskenkorva.

===Energy===
10% of electrical energy in Koskenkorva is generated by the combustion of {{wp|peat}}, which is abundant across most of the island. Peat is also the main fuel used for domestic heating. Peat extraction is conducted by most rural households in an artisanal fashion, either individually or (more commonly in the northern parts of the island) on a local coöperative basis. More sophisticated commercial peat-cutting operations also exist. Peat resources in Koskenkorva are regulated by a dedicated agency of the state government reporting to the Secretary of Peat.

==Politics==
Like all Kiravian states, Koskenkorva is a constitutional republic, and is regarded as the most direct-democratic state after New Harbour. Legislative responsibility is divided between the Hearing, an open legislative forum open to all adult, citizen males able to attend its biannual sessions at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, and the General Court of Koskenkorva, a more conventional legislature elected every two years by {{wp|alternative vote}}. Executive power belongs to the First Executive of Koskenkorva, who is appointed by the [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy]] on the advice of the General Court, until 21220 when the position will be filled by direct popular election.

There are four classes of municipal governments in Koskenkorva: Cities, towns, hundreds, and villages. Towns, hundreds, and villages operate as {{wp|direct democracies}}.
