On September 9, 1936, Commodore [[Leonoix family|Palteran Leonoix]], Prime Commissioner ("Commish") Kil Kamban of Suderavia, Chief Torcuil McRaven of Scapa, and Kormákur Bonîver - the {{wp|town drunk}} of Karharrak and a fourth-generation descendant of Wintergen expellees chosen<sup>[by whom?]</sup> to represent [[Wintergen]] - signed the Karharrak Compact, which established the '''South Kilikas Federacy''' as a wartime provisional government to undertake and direct all activities necessary for defence of the three<ref>But really just two</ref> provinces from external aggression in the absence of effective federal authority. The Compact was then ritually presented to a megalithic Emperor statue half-buried in the woods outside of town for approval. | On September 9, 1936, Commodore [[Leonoix family|Palteran III Leonoix]], Prime Commissioner ("Commish") Kil Kamban of Suderavia, Chief Torcuil McRaven of Scapa, and Kormákur Bonîver - the {{wp|town drunk}} of Karharrak and a fourth-generation descendant of Wintergen expellees chosen<sup>[by whom?]</sup> to represent [[Wintergen]] - signed the Karharrak Compact, which established the '''South Kilikas Federacy''' as a wartime provisional government to undertake and direct all activities necessary for defence of the three<ref>But really just two</ref> provinces from external aggression in the absence of effective federal authority.

In 1941, the Kiravian Remnant concluded an agreement with the [[New Ardmore|Ardmori Republic]] to lease the land on two of the latter's islands for use as military airfields in order to help maintain flights to Suderavia and Scapa, reëstablishing a reliable logistical line between the South Kilikas Federacy and the Remnant. | In 1941, the Kiravian Remnant concluded an agreement with the [[New Ardmore|Ardmori Republic]] to lease the land on two of the latter's islands for use as military airfields in order to help maintain flights to Suderavia and Scapa, reëstablishing a reliable logistical line between the South Kilikas Federacy and the Remnant. | ||

In the decades since [[Kiravian reunification]], Suderavia's growth and development trajectory has been reliably positive. Unlike many (most) parts of the former [[Kiravian Remnant|Remnant]], Suderavia did not experience an economic downturn as a result of reunification, as it had not really gained a position in the Remnant's internal market and production chains that it stood to lose, nor was its economy especially dependent on defence activities and expenditure.<ref>In any event, no military installations in Suderavia faced closure after reunification.</ref> | |||

Suderavians are predominantly Christian, though among the Coscivian population many maintain Læstorian, Rurican, and Sarostivist traditions as a “background religion” of sorts. Most Coscivian-Suderavians are either Catholics worshipping according to the Coscivian Rite or belong to the [[Insular Apostolic Church]].

The | Suderavia is important in the history of the Insular Apostolic Church, as it became a safe haven for Gaelian dissenters fleeing persecution in the aftermath of the [[Crusades#Tonsure_Wars|Tonsure Wars]]. While most of the Pilgrims of the Kilikas - as they are called in the Insular tradition - only made port in Suderavia before making the long and dangerous crossing to [[Ilánova]], some put down permanent roots on the peninsula, establishing monasteries on remote promontories where they would conserve their suppressed rites and minister to nearby lay populations. The province is home to over a dozen Insular Apostolic shrines dedicated to saints who carried out their vocations there, most of them Kilikas Pilgrims or later abbots. | ||
There is a strong {{wp|eremitic}} tradition in Suderavian spirituality that may date as far back as the Lunar Monotheism of the primitive Coscivians. The State Forest Service reckons that there are anywhere between twenty and forty hermits living in the mountains and woodlands of the Suderavian interior at any given time, whether Apostolic, Catholic, or even from the Abrigalast tradition. | |||
The Latin Rite Catholic population is made up mainly of [[Levantia|Levantine]] people. | |||
The Skithanawites are conclavist Catholic {{wp|sedevacantists}} with their own antipope. They have been in schism since before it was cool, since 1847 AD. | |||
Small numbers of Lutherans, Mercantile Protestants, and [[Kiravian Sectarians|Kiravian Sectarian]] denominations such as the Reformed Orthodox Church and Trinitarian Universalist Church are found in urban areas. | Small numbers of Lutherans, Mercantile Protestants, and [[Kiravian Sectarians|Kiravian Sectarian]] denominations such as the Reformed Orthodox Church and Trinitarian Universalist Church are found in urban areas. | ||

Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay. The Abrigalasts of Suderavia arrived fairly early in the history of their faith, having fled persecution in South Levantia and been welcomed by the Covine government of the time to cultivate its more marginal lands. Most Suderavian Abrigalasts do not respond to the Federal Census, but there are estimated to be about 5,000, with around 60% living in Abrigalast settlements, though figures for urban Abrigalasts are likely underreported. Although they are mainly of Levantine ancestry, Suderavian Abrigalasts have spoken Suderavian Coscivian as their native language for centuries. | Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay.

There are | There are five mosques in Suderavia: Two {{wp|Twelver Shi'a}}, one {{wp|Ismailism|Sevener Shi'a}}, one [[Qustanti Islam|Qustanti]] and one Sunni. The Sevener and one Twelver mosque are in Xromîda; the rest are in Keremonta. The Bahá’í Local Spiritual Assembly is based in Xromîda and claims 500 adherents, 105 of which are active. | ||

===Cuisine=== | |||
Traditional Suderavian cuisine is quite similar to that of neighbouring and nearby regions on the Kilikas. It makes much use of seafood and seabirds. | |||
As Suderavia is not suitable for the cultivation of {{wp|hops}}, its inhabitants traditionally used other botanicals, principally {{wp|spruce}} and {{wp|Pine-Sol|pine}} buds and {{wp|Ericaceae|heathers}}. Suderavia shares this tradition with similarly situated regions of Great Kirav, such as the [[Coscivian Sea]] coast and Far Northeast. Although hops and beers brewed with hops are now commercially available thanks to {{wp|trade}}, Suderavians still have a taste for the olde style, and home-brewed spruce or heather beer is preferred for ceremonial uses, such as {{wp|betrothal}}s. | |||
Distilled liquor is highly important to the regional diet and to its repertoire of {{wp|traditional medicine}}. The standard products are {{wp|whiskey}} (inc. its {{wp|Poitín|potent derivatives}}), {{wp|Akvavit|herbal spirit}}, and {{wp|Vodka|white spirit}}. Historically, most Suderavian beer was domestically produced as {{wp|table beer}}, a soft drink for general nutrition, whereas distilled liquors were the preferred libation for driving and [[spórvulnar]]. | |||

Tourism has been an important pillar of the Suderavian economy for quite some time. Since the 1990s, a burgeoning private tourist industry has emerged, catering to enjoyers of winter and outdoor recreation from Levantia and the Kiravian territories. An attendant real estate industry specialising in vacation properties, second homes, and service-oriented development has also taken root, and the accompanying boom in construction jobs has helped smooth over unemployment resulting from the restructuring of industrial and mineral enterprises. | Tourism has been an important pillar of the Suderavian economy for quite some time.
