Catholicism has been the majority religion in Sirana for as long as systematic surveys have been conducted. Whereas the surrounding countryside was populated by Æonaran Coscivians adhering to both Coscivian Rite Catholicism and Coscivian Orthodoxy (with the balance in favour of the latter), the Sunderance emigré population was disproportionately Catholic, drawn heavily from the coastal urban bourgeoisie, the Baylands, and the West Coast [[Rosary Belt]]. Many Catholic institutions fleeing government persecution established themselves in the Sirana area. The city is the seat of the [[Coscivian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Crona]]. Migration from [[Sarolasta]] has further reïnforced the Catholic majority in recent decades. | Catholicism has been the majority religion in Sirana for as long as systematic surveys have been conducted.

Sirana is one of the very few major metropolitan core cities where the local [[Federalist Republican Alliance]] affiliate is a political contender. Although the Renaissance Party's strength in Sirana proper has diminished considerably sine the 1980s AD, largely due to suburbanisation, the city has elected Renaissance provosts twice in the past 20 years. The main beneficiary of the Renaissance Party's local decline has been the Christian Democratic Party, a [[Caritist Social Union|CSU]] state affiliate, which has been the leading faction in Sirana politics since Reunification. The [[Social Democrats KF|SDKF]] was founded in Sirana, and retains a strong organisational presence and reliable voter base in the city. SDKF provosts were elected in 1990, 1993, 1996, and 2014. | |||
