Sarolasta is one of five [[Kiravian federalism#Themes|themes of the Kiravian Federacy and Collectivity]], the alongside the Federation, [[South Kirav]], [[Sydona]], the [[Melian Isles]], and the [[Overseas Regions]]. The states and territories that make up Sarolasta have, by compact, created a Commonwealth Council and President of the Commonwealth to exercise thematic functions. The Commonwealth Council comprises the ranking members of the state and territorial legislatures, as well as the relevant subset of provincial cabinet officials relating to each issue under consideration by the Council. The President of the Commonwealth is elected by plurality vote every 42 months. To secure election, a candidate must secure at least one-quarter (250‰) of the vote in at least six out of the nine provinces; if no candidate achieves this, a runoff among the three highest-polling candidates is held. The President of the Commonwealth has some *pro forma* duties regarding the certification of federal electoral votes and thematic resolutions, in addition to serving as a public advocate for the people of Sarolasta. | Sarolasta is one of five [[Kiravian federalism#Themes|themes of the Kiravian Federacy and Collectivity]], the alongside the Federation, [[South Kirav]], [[Sydona]], the [[Melian Isles]], and the [[Overseas Regions]].

Due to its strong adherence to Catholicism and demand for higher social spending and development aid, Sarolasta is a stronghold for the [[Caritist Social Union]] in elections to the [[Federal Stanora|Stanora]], often electing candidates of a pronounced {{wp|Christian socialism|Social Christian}} ideological bent that reinforce the fiscal left wing of the caucus. Indeed, during the Sunderance the Christian Democratic Party (predecessor of the CSU) vote was concentrated so heavily in Sarolasta that the CDP came to be seen as a ''de facto'' Sarolastan regional interest party within the [[National Reunification Front]]. | Due to its strong adherence to Catholicism and demand for higher social spending and development aid, Sarolasta is a stronghold for the [[Caritist Social Union]] in elections to the [[Federal Stanora|Stanora]], often electing candidates of a pronounced {{wp|Christian socialism|Social Christian}} ideological bent that reinforce the fiscal left wing of the caucus.
