==Government==
Seváronsa is chartered overseas territory within the [[Kiravian Collectivity]]. Its governmental structure and fundamental laws are laid out by the Territorial Charter of Seváronsa, promulgated by Prime Executive Eridan Vriẍur and validated by the [[Federal Stanora|Stanora]] in [YEAR]. The Governor of Seváronsa is appointed by the [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy]] for a regular term of three years, though a Governor may be replaced or recalled at any point in their term. Gubernatorial appointments are renewable indefinitely, though the usual practice since 21156 has been to re-appoint any governor in good standing to a second three-year term, and no more. Similarly, while the appointment is a unilateral prerogative of the Prime Executive, it has become customary since the 21180s for [[Kroveniren Hall]] to solicit the advice of local legislative leaders during the nomination process.

The territorial legislative body is known as the Legislative Assembly (''Áldaktorix Skráliuv''). Like many and contemporary and historical legislatures in the Coscivian-dominated world, it is a part-time body that meets twice annually at [better tropical/local climatic equivalent of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes] for a period of X weeks. The Legislative Assembly comprises 23 seats, apportioned among the three islands according to population, with a guaranteed minimum of two seats intended to protect representation for Karluk. Each island's delegation to the LA is elected by {{wp|single non-transferrable vote}} in a {{wp|nonpartisan democracy|nonpartisan contest}}, as political parties are banned.

Seváronsa sends a single Delegate to the Federal Stanora. Although political parties are formally illegal and cannot operate in Seváronsa, candidates typically pledge to sit with one [[Caucus (Kiravian politics)|federal legislative caucus]] or another during their campaign. Since the end of Kirosocialism, Seváronsan Delegates have typically sat with either the [[Caritist Social Union]] or [[Coscivian National Congress]], with all Seváronsan CNC Delegates voting as members of the [[Island Nation Party]].

[Military Installation 1] and [Military Installation 2] exist. [Marines unit] stationed at [base] serve as a nominal {{wp|garrison}} affirming Kiravian sovereignty, but the bases mainly serve logistical, communications, maintenance, and other support functions, as Seváronsa is not considered to be in any danger from other countries.
There are two federal military installations in Seváronsa: Grace Harbour Naval Base on Grand Seváronsa and Joint Base Ptarmigan ([[Kiravian Army|KF Army]] and [[Kiravian Air Corps|KF Aircorps]]) on Lesser Seváronsa. A {{wp|roulement}} KF Marine Corps company stationed at Grace Harbour serves as a nominal {{wp|garrison}} affirming Kiravian sovereignty, but the bases mainly serve logistical, communications, maintenance, and other support functions, as Seváronsa is not considered to be in any danger from other countries.


[[Territorial Defence Forces#List|Territorial Defence of Seváronsa]] is the provincial self-defence and {{wp|home guard}} force, which also assists with {{wp|civil defence}} and {{wp|riot control|public order}} operations. It is based at [Federal mil base] and co-operates closely with federal troops stationed on the islands.

Policing is organised on a countyship basis, except on Karluk, where Seváronsa Territorial Defence Force {{wp|military police|MP}}s provide off-base policing services. There is no standing provincial police formation or highway patrol force. A Territorial Criminal Investigative Service handles cross-countyship criminal cases, undertakes major or special-interest investigations, and provides superior technical support services to countyship police departments.

Major religions include the [[Catholic Church]] (70% of the population), [[Chantry of Alstin|Chantrism]], [[Kiravian_Sectarians#Examples|Æglasta-i-Xristul]], Islam, Daxian folk religion, and the Church of Negative Growth (Coconut Man Faith). There is an {{wp|Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventist}} congregation on Grand Seváronsa that was planted in 1899.

The influence of ALSTIN culture is very strong. Visa policy and weather permitting, Seváronsans commonly take day trips to the nearby ALSTIN islands and may even have friends and family in ALSTIN. Mainland ALSTIN is also an very attractive tourist destination. It is far from unheard of for Seváronsans to seek travel to ALSTIN for medical treatment or to see a specialist practitioner not available on the islands. Even if [[Healthcare in Kiravia|the social health programmes]] refuse to cover any of it it is often worth the price because the quality of care in ALSTIN is better than in Sarolasta. Many Seváronsans learn the Ænglish by listening to television and radio from ALSTIN. Similarly the cultural influence of TIERRADOR is quite visible in Seváronsa, not only because many Seváronsan residents are of TIERRADOR background but also because the country is relatively close by and Seváronsans often visit TIERRADOR when they want to get off the island for a bit.

Many Seváronsans learn the [[Ænglish language]], however imperfectly, by listening to television and radio from Alstin.

Seváronsa has a diversifying economy rooted in plantation agriculture and transitioning toward a service orientation. Tourism, sea and air transportation, defence and public sector spending, real estate and land development, retail trade, and commercial fishing are the sectors contributing most to economic growth since 21190.

Agriculture is not an especially significant sector of the Seváronsan economy; a generous share of the islands' land area is dedicated to farming, but it employs only a small percentage of the workforce and its direct contribution to overall {{wp|Gross regional product|GRP}} is marginal. Pineapple and {{wp|copra}} plantations were established by Burgittan and Kiravian settlers and many remain under cultivation today, often owned by descendants of the founding families. A less profitable agricultural subsector is made up of smallhold farms mainly supplying fresh vegetables to the island (which are for some reason still difficult to come by in an age of advanced global produce logistics), organic ingredients, and {{wp|kava}}.
