''' | '''Devinsar''' is a city in western [[Étivera]] near the [[Íarthakelva]] border. Once an important industrial centre and railway node, the city did not fare well during the post-Kirosocialist economic transition, and has become an icon of the uneven economic fortunes in contemporary Kiravia. It is widely known across the Mid-Oceanic region and Eastern Highlands for its economic woes, and for its left-wing politics and ostentatious Kirosocialist nostalgia, as well as for its architecture and other physical reminders of its storied history. | ||
The population of | The population of Devinsar is 52% Coscivian and 43% Celtic (24% Pretannic and 19% Gaelic), with most of the remainder being [[Urom|Urom]]. The prevailing local speech is based on the Calburian dialect of [[Kiravic Coscivian]], but incorporates a great deal of Pretannic, Antaric Coscivian, and Æran Coscivian vocabulary, and is spoken with a distinctive accent different from that of surrounding rural areas in County Krégar. | ||
Devinsar is a stronghold of left-wing politics. Power on its Municipal Commission is currently held by a People's Front alliance between the Kirosocialist Party, which controls five out of seven seats, and the Communist Party of the Kiravian Federacy, which controls the remaining two. Devinsar is the only municipality with a population of more than 5,000 to have any CPKF commissioners. | |||

''' | '''Mandrasar''' is a {{wp|satellite city}} on the northern end of the [[Bérasar]] metropolitan area. It is widely considered the most liberal and Westernised community in the nation. | ||
After the end of Kirosocialism and the accompanying {{wp|economic liberalization|economic liberalisation}}, | After the end of Kirosocialism and the accompanying {{wp|economic liberalization|economic liberalisation}}, Mandrasar was one of the first Kiravian cities to experiment with modern {{wp|Place branding|city branding}} and {{wp|city marketing}}, with the goal of positioning itself as "Kiravia's International City" to attract foreign businesses, investment, and human capital. It is consistently ranked as one of the best Kiravian cities for expatriates and the most Anglophone-friendly city in the nation. | ||
Mandrasar was founded as a mill and market-town by [[Taństan Coscivians]] in 20546. As Fariva industrialised beginning in the 20970s, Mandrasar, which was located near (but not quite on) the eastern seaboard's {{wp|fall line}}, became a secondary center of industrial activity. Under Kirosocialist rule during the 21160s, the government of Fariva established the Fariva Technical Institute in Mandrasar, which trained a large number of informaticians, engineers and scientists. After the fall of Kirosocialism and the (coastal) Kiravian economic miracle of the 21190s, Mandrasar, with the help of the state's chamber of commerce and development bureaucracy, promoted itself aggressively as a friendly, polyglot enclave for the international business and professional classes involved with the growing capitalist economy in the Bérasar metropolitan area. The student body of Darmon University provided a large workforce of Ænglish- and Latin-speaking service workers for the comfort of Occidental expatriates. Foreign-language street signs and public use of [[SI]] units were also employed to contribute to the cosmopolitan atmosphere. | |||
Most | Most Mandrasar residents belong to the professional and international business classes or are affiliated with the city's two institutions of higher learning: the Fariva Technical Institute and Darmon University, a Western-style institution where Ænglish is the medium of instruction. According to the [[Kiravian State Executive|State Executive]], Mandrasar has more international passport-holders (not to be confused with [[Passport system in the Kiravian Federacy|Kiravian internal passports]]) per capita than any other census-recognised settlement with over 10,000 inhabitants at 763 passport-holders per 1,000 residents. The average rate for the entire Federacy is 361 passport-holders per 1,000 residents. A study conducted by Darmon University found that 53% of Mandrasar residents were competent Ænglish speakers (compared to 2.4% nationwide), 64% were competent [[Caphiric Latin|Latin-speakers]] (compared to 16% nationwide), and 38% were competent Burgittan speakers (compared to 1.3% nationwide). 36% of non-immigrant residents had lived abroad for a year or more, compared to an estimated 8% nationwide. | ||
Notable businesses headquartered in Mandrasar include SALIX Application Development SAK, WhiteCharcoal World Capital, WindowVista Real Estate Corporation, ProPisca Marketing SAK, Courier-New Messaging & Teletype SAK, Tower of Scrabble Translation SAK, and Maximal International Patent & Trademark PLR. | |||
Municipal politics is partisan and competitive. The statewide Freedom Plus Party ({{wp|classical liberalims|classical-liberal}}) and the Tea Party ({{wp|social liberalism|social-liberal}}) are the main contenders. Two Occidentophile parties, [[Levantine Union Party (Kiravia)|Levantian Union Party]] and Liberal Democratic Party of Kiravia, are also commonly represented on the city council and boast some of their strongest electoral results in Mandrasar. | |||

Due to changes in the economic environment and technology after liberalisation, Trár faced the challenge of transitioning from traditional heavy industry to a new economic base. This transition was difficult for the city, as it required significant changes to the local economy and workforce. Many workers who were trained in traditional manufacturing skills found it difficult to adapt to the new, more technologically advanced manufacturing processes, and the city experienced significant unemployment and population loss as displaced workers relocated to cities like Valēka with better job opportunities, leading to {{wp|urban decay}}, though the decline was not nearly as acute in Trár as it was in many inland industrial centres and smaller {{wp|monotown|monotowns}}.

''' | '''Havre de Grace''' (Coscivian: ''Avrēdegra'') is the capital and largest city of the overseas territory of [[Seváronsa]]. It was founded in 1649 AD by the [[Bergendii]] navigator [[Jean-Zechariah Gullouing deLoreanne]] on land purchased from the native chief [[Bumi the Duped]] in exchange for an assortment of Levantine manufactures. Bergendii mariners bestowed the settlement its name in honour of its commodious {{wp|natural harbour}}. From 1654 to 1896 AD, it was the capital of the Burgoignesc [[St. Nicholas Colony]], and was retained as the seat of colonial administration after three of the islands comprising the St. Nicholas Colony were ceded to Kiravia as part of the diplomatic settlement concluding the [[War of St. Brendan's Strait]]. | ||
Havre de Grace is the economic and commercial hub of the entire Seváronsa territory. | |||

''' | '''Sarávak''' ({{wp|Cornish language|Covine}}: ''ƷaraỼak'') is a city in [[Suderavia]] on the Demomap Isthmus which connects Suderavia to the [[Levantine]] mainland, directly abutting the {{wp|international border}} between the Kiravian Federacy and [[Unintra]]. It is the third-largest city in the state, after Keremonta and the capital, Xromîda. | ||
The city limits encompass the Sarávak Border Control Station, operated by the [[Kiravian Security Executive|Liminal Integrity Service]], the Kiravian Federacy's only overland {{wp|border crossing}} outside of [[Cusinaut]], which is an enforcement point for Kiravian {{wp|customs}} and migration laws. The station's drive-through checkpoint includes a road interchange to facilitate the switchover from {{wp|Left- and right-hand traffic|right-hand to left-hand traffic}} for inbound vehicles. | |||
Cross-boundary travel and trade, duty-free retail, and federal expenditure related to the border post contribute to a municipal economy otherwise based on pulp and paper manufacture, meat and dairy processing, and public services. | |||
As is typical of the rest of the state, most Sarávak residents are Suderavian Coscivians, [[Fhainn]], Covines, or Skithanawites. Around five thousand Unintrans reside in the city. Most are expatriate Unintran nationals, though there are also a few naturalised or [[Civil status in Kiravia|meticised]] Unintran-Kiravians and a larger number of natural-born Kiravians of Kiravian and Unintran parentage. | |||

Kásen is a city in western Asperidan State, located in the Corcoran Mountains of the Western Highlands. It is best known as a tourist destination and a hub for winter and alpine sporting and recreation.
Kásen hosted the [YEAR] Winter Ixlympics and is the only city to have hosted the Pan-Kiravian Winter Tournament four times. The PKWT's Central Organising Committee has been based in Kásen since Template:H:title.
Kásen was founded by pioneers belonging to the Visikiran Coscivian ethnic group, who account for 45% of the city's present population. The Visikiran Coscivian language is widely spoken in the town, and Visikiran customs and cuisine are an important feature of the city's character and tourist branding.
Kásen forms the core of the Kásen Micropolitan Area, which includes several smaller towns and villages with permanent populations, as well as a number of ski resort settlements, winter villages, and cabin developments. Kásen acts as a market town and service hub for these outlying communities.
Castera
Belarus
Belarus (Coscivian: Belārus, pron. /bel·AYR·ʌs/) is a city in the Kiravian state of Kastera.
Initially named Alþisar, the city was renamed in 21121 in honour of Árelius Pelāruv, a Kiravian general born in the city who later fought for Kommenori in the IxNapoleonic wars. In Greek, Pelāruv’s name was rendered as Avrelios Pelairos, and in Latin it was rendered Aurelius Belærus or Aurelius Belarus. The name’s similarity to that of the nation of Belarus from the speculative fiction novel 19th-20th Century Earth is thus entirely coïncidental.
Belarus is home to the famous University of Belarus, a national leader in scientific research and varsity athletics, as well as Belarus State University (a public institution), and Aurelian College (a Coscivian Orthodox one).
Prime Executive Netanèn Grancanon, who led the Federacy through the conclusion of the Tropical Sea Wars, was born and raised in Belārus, and is buried at St. Epimachus churchyard within the city limits.
Kāsikova
Kāsikova is the capital of Kastera and its fifth-largest city.
Varuna
Varuna is the largest city in the state of Kastera.
After Kirosocialism, Varuna lead the way in transitioning away from traditional manufacturing and towards more "flexible" manufacturing models and specialised industries. Pro-growth policies under Governors X and Y were especially effective in the Varuna area and fostered the flowering of a 212nd century economy with a strong service sector and consistently low employment.

Xūrosar (English: Kingston ) is the second-largest city and principal port in the Kiravian state of Castera. Located at the mouth of the Navēsin River on the coast of the Kilikas Sea. It was founded during the Cromwelute Wars as a Commonwealth fort and naval harbour dedicated to High King Ruarí mac Duinnshleibe of Dáltìre and Emperor Carticus II as King of Éorsa (a subsidiary title of the Coscivian Emperors).
Located on the coast and close to the major coal and other mineral deposits of the Eastern Highlands, Xūrosar was the third Kiravian city to industrialise, and has historically specialised in heavy manufacturing. Xūrosar is the capital of the Kiravian domestic automobile industry, and as such has suffered economically from trade deals with nations like Urcea and Paulastra that command a comparative advantage in cars. Nonetheless, the motor industry, sustained by demand for higher-end cars, trams and buses, and military and industrial vehicles, remains an important sector of the local economy. Three shipbuilding firms currently operate drydocks in the city. Kilika Brewing SAK, the Federacy’s third-largest manufacturer of beer, after Alquifer Incorporated and Fualmún SAK, is headquartered in Xūrosar and manufactures over 60% of its annual output at its flagship brewery on West Nordfall Street.
Xūrosar’s population is predominantly (83.5%) Coscivian, with the largest non-Coscivian groups being Celts (9.4%) and Finns (3.8%). Arnoriem Coscivians, who historically dominate the surrounding region, are the largest single Coscivian group in the city. Northern Coscivians, Antarem Coscivians, North Paisonic Coscivians, Æran Coscivians, Kaltem Coscivians, Meridian Coscivians, and Eastern Highlanders are among the many Coscivian subgroups with large populations in the city.
Culturally, Xūrosar belongs to the North Coast cultural region.
Nicknamed the “Buckle of the Hockey Belt”, Xūrosar is home to the Xūrosar Skuas of the Levantian Hockey League and the Xūrosar Turbines of the Northern Hockey Union. The Xūrosar Millers of the Federal Fieldball League also play in the city.

Devinsar is a city in western Étivera near the Íarthakelva border. Once an important industrial centre and railway node, the city did not fare well during the post-Kirosocialist economic transition, and has become an icon of the uneven economic fortunes in contemporary Kiravia. It is widely known across the Mid-Oceanic region and Eastern Highlands for its economic woes, and for its left-wing politics and ostentatious Kirosocialist nostalgia, as well as for its architecture and other physical reminders of its storied history.
The population of Devinsar is 52% Coscivian and 43% Celtic (24% Pretannic and 19% Gaelic), with most of the remainder being Urom. The prevailing local speech is based on the Calburian dialect of Kiravic Coscivian, but incorporates a great deal of Pretannic, Antaric Coscivian, and Æran Coscivian vocabulary, and is spoken with a distinctive accent different from that of surrounding rural areas in County Krégar.
Devinsar is a stronghold of left-wing politics. Power on its Municipal Commission is currently held by a People's Front alliance between the Kirosocialist Party, which controls five out of seven seats, and the Communist Party of the Kiravian Federacy, which controls the remaining two. Devinsar is the only municipality with a population of more than 5,000 to have any CPKF commissioners.

Epsilar is a city in County Telbrant, located five kilometres from the Bérasar city limits. It is notable for its large Levantine population, and for being the birthplace of the Levantian Union Party. Originally a working-class community inhabited mostly by Coscivian immigrants from Éorsa and Triatha, the Kiravian economic resurgence in the 211290s caused living standards in the city to rise and turned certain sections of it into affordable but pleasant residential space for professionals. The nucleus of the Levantine community was formed by a few dozen Urcean expatriate families who settled in the vicinity of St. Mark's Catholic church in 21192, which grew rapidly as trade with Urcea increased. Fiannrians, especially Gothic-Fiannrians, sought out the city as immigrant-friendly, and began to cement the city as a major destination for Levantine immigrants.
The population of Epsilar is 30% Fiannrian, 22% Urcean, 8% Latin, and 3% Fanerian, with most of the remainder being Coscivian. It should be noted that many Coscivian residents of Epsilar also have Levantian ancestry but are classed as Coscivians due to strict patrilineality. 76% of residents are Roman Catholics, served by eight Latin Rite parishes, two of which are of a Traditionalist orientation. Lebhan, Gaelic, Orenstian, Gothic, Sorrentian Latin, and Rexish German are all spoken in the city, and can be found in written form on storefronts and in local publications.
The Levantian Union Party was founded in Epsilar by Vespasian Odrilaven, himself an Urcean-Kiravian and a lifelong resident. The party first appeared on a ballot in the Epsilar municipal election, and today holds 4 of 5 seats on the City Council. In the 21206 Stanora election, Epsilar and County Telbrant as a whole voted overwhelmingly for Odrilaven and the other LUP candidates, though only Odrilaven was elected to the Stanora.

Population | 62,420 |
Mandrasar is a satellite city on the northern end of the Bérasar metropolitan area. It is widely considered the most liberal and Westernised community in the nation.
After the end of Kirosocialism and the accompanying economic liberalisation, Mandrasar was one of the first Kiravian cities to experiment with modern city branding and city marketing, with the goal of positioning itself as "Kiravia's International City" to attract foreign businesses, investment, and human capital. It is consistently ranked as one of the best Kiravian cities for expatriates and the most Anglophone-friendly city in the nation.
Mandrasar was founded as a mill and market-town by Taństan Coscivians in 20546. As Fariva industrialised beginning in the 20970s, Mandrasar, which was located near (but not quite on) the eastern seaboard's fall line, became a secondary center of industrial activity. Under Kirosocialist rule during the 21160s, the government of Fariva established the Fariva Technical Institute in Mandrasar, which trained a large number of informaticians, engineers and scientists. After the fall of Kirosocialism and the (coastal) Kiravian economic miracle of the 21190s, Mandrasar, with the help of the state's chamber of commerce and development bureaucracy, promoted itself aggressively as a friendly, polyglot enclave for the international business and professional classes involved with the growing capitalist economy in the Bérasar metropolitan area. The student body of Darmon University provided a large workforce of Ænglish- and Latin-speaking service workers for the comfort of Occidental expatriates. Foreign-language street signs and public use of SI units were also employed to contribute to the cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Most Mandrasar residents belong to the professional and international business classes or are affiliated with the city's two institutions of higher learning: the Fariva Technical Institute and Darmon University, a Western-style institution where Ænglish is the medium of instruction. According to the State Executive, Mandrasar has more international passport-holders (not to be confused with Kiravian internal passports) per capita than any other census-recognised settlement with over 10,000 inhabitants at 763 passport-holders per 1,000 residents. The average rate for the entire Federacy is 361 passport-holders per 1,000 residents. A study conducted by Darmon University found that 53% of Mandrasar residents were competent Ænglish speakers (compared to 2.4% nationwide), 64% were competent Latin-speakers (compared to 16% nationwide), and 38% were competent Burgittan speakers (compared to 1.3% nationwide). 36% of non-immigrant residents had lived abroad for a year or more, compared to an estimated 8% nationwide.
Notable businesses headquartered in Mandrasar include SALIX Application Development SAK, WhiteCharcoal World Capital, WindowVista Real Estate Corporation, ProPisca Marketing SAK, Courier-New Messaging & Teletype SAK, Tower of Scrabble Translation SAK, and Maximal International Patent & Trademark PLR.
Municipal politics is partisan and competitive. The statewide Freedom Plus Party (classical-liberal) and the Tea Party (social-liberal) are the main contenders. Two Occidentophile parties, Levantian Union Party and Liberal Democratic Party of Kiravia, are also commonly represented on the city council and boast some of their strongest electoral results in Mandrasar.

Population | 1,050 |
Svéntren is a settlement in County Koffin, Fariva that is officially designated as a refugee camp by the Kiravian government. It is inhabited by 10th, 11th, and 12th-generation descendants of the Kiravian population expelled from the island of Wintergen by the Burgundian North Levantine Trading Company in Template:H:title.
Svéntren was founded in Template:H:title at the behest of Vistur L.R.A. Svén, the Delegate representing Wintergen in the Federal Stanora. Noticing that his constituents were having difficulty adjusting to the urban environments of Valēka and Bérasar, where they had arrived after being deported from their home island, Svén introduced the Wintergen Expellee Accommodation Act, which appropriated ◊3,500 for the purpose of purchasing land where the refugees could live more comfortably. Svén had himself appointed as the sole member of the Select Committee on Refugees and visited several locations in Kaviska, Mariava, and Fariva before choosing a tract of coastal land in County Koffin. Refugees trickled in during the early autumn of that year and quickly went about constructing log cabins, as they had long done in Wintergen's lumber camps. The residents took to calling the encampment "Svéntren", literally "Svén's Tract" or "Svén's Homestead".
The expellees from Wintergen arrived at Svéntren believing that their situation was temporary, and that the Kiravian Navy would soon recapture their island and allow them to return home. As such, they were content to live off of charitable donations from other patriotic Kiravians and stipends granted to them under the Wintergen Expellee Accomodation Act, and did not bother to bring any of Svéntren's land under cultivation or establish any other means of self-sufficiency beyond some low-intensity fishing. But as the 210th century bore on, most of the original expellees realised that they would not see Wintergen liberated in their lifetimes. Many of the expellees and their first-generation descendants born in Great Kirav sought outside employment, and many eventually left the community for destinations as far-flung as Porfíria, Thýstara, and the Sakhalin Islands. Still, about as many chose to stay in Svéntren and take up agriculture or fishing or travel to nearby towns as labourers.
Contemporary Svéntren is intensely proud of its Wintergen heritage and supportive of the Wintergen government-in-exile. Pre-invasion Wintergen flags are flown from most buildings in the settlement, and many cars sport license plates issued by the government-in-exile. The gravel streets are named after various towns, counties, and timber camps in old Wintergen, and since Template:H:title, a group of residents has run a stall at the Koffin County Fair to raise awareness of the island's plight. Like most Kiravian communities, Svéntren observes Sāxna Būraktorsk Gromhélulya, the holiday celebrating the joint Coscivian-Celtic-Finnic defeat and genocide of the Cromwelutes, but in Svéntren the celebrations take on a distinctly anti-Burgundine flavour that conflates Burgundines with the Cromwelute Vikings and incorporates the burning of Burgundine flags and the immolation of members of the House of Christensen-Fakolan in effigy. The National Conservative Party of Fariva, a Coscivian nationalist party with a rather minor presence in Farivan state politics, routinely wins 40-60% of the vote in Svéntren with its strong irredentist stance on Wintergen.
Today most Svéntren residents report their ethnicity as Wintergen Coscivian on the Kiravian Census, although their ancestry (traceable through genealogical records meticulously kept to maintain residents' eligibility for refugee benefits) contains a mixture of various seafaring Coscivian subgroups, Meridian Finns, and Gaels. Just over 80% of residents belong to the Insular Apostolic Church, and the settlement has its own Apostolic chapel served by a visiting priest. Svéntren has a very high (46%) rate of unemployment, with many residents subsisting on Wintergen Permanent Fund dividends and welfare payments from the state government.

Trár (/tɾaʊːr/) is a city in Kaviska State. Along with its sister city of Tragen across the [river], it forms the core of the Trár-Tragen metropolitan area, the third most-populous in the state after the Valēka and Canova metros.
Trár was founded by Chief Vōlon the Deaf during the Kir' conquest of Kaviska and has an illustrious industrial heritage. It is famous for its architecture.
During Kirosocialism, many important state-owned industrial enterprises were based in Trár, including the Typographical Machine Works, whose Trár flagship factory alone produced about half of the typewriters in use in the Kiravian Union. During this period, Trár experienced significant population growth and modernisation, with new infrastructure and buildings being constructed to accommodate the growing population and businesses.
Due to changes in the economic environment and technology after liberalisation, Trár faced the challenge of transitioning from traditional heavy industry to a new economic base. This transition was difficult for the city, as it required significant changes to the local economy and workforce. Many workers who were trained in traditional manufacturing skills found it difficult to adapt to the new, more technologically advanced manufacturing processes, and the city experienced significant unemployment and population loss as displaced workers relocated to cities like Valēka with better job opportunities, leading to urban decay, though the decline was not nearly as acute in Trár as it was in many inland industrial centres and smaller monotowns. Local authorities have worked to encourage diversification of the economy and development of new industries, including technology and advanced manufacturing. The Trár-Tragen metropolitan area is the second-largest per-capita recipient of grant money from the federal Structural Adjustment Funds, much of which has been invested in education and training programs to help its workforce adapt to the changing economy and leave Trár better-equipped to weather economic downturns and changes in the global marketplace. Since the 2010s AD, Trár has experienced a pronounced economic upturn, due in large part to the relocation of some Valēka-based corporate headquarters to Trár's more affordable commercial real estate market and lower taxes.

Iselin is a medium-sized industrial city in Niyaska's County Jeff. Founded as a mill town on the fall line of the Niyaska seaboard by a colonist from the Coscivian province of Erasta named Ārvo Iselin, Iselin later acquired a sizeable population of craftsmen and eventually an ironworks. With the beginning of the industrial era in earnest, Iselin joined Parþotren and Rávéga in producing a wide range of products, such as textiles, processed meats, beer, glassware, bicycles, and metal products. Since Kirosocialism, the city has retained a significant industrial base, but has shifted toward the manufacture of electrical components, plastics, and (perhaps most notably) garage doors.
Iselin International Airport, the busiest in the Valēka Metropolitan Area and the Mid-Oceanic region as a whole, is located in the city. The Iselin Chamber of Commerce tried to promote Iselin: Lavnubān Niyaské ("Iselin: Gateway to Niyaska") as the city's official slogan, but was forced to adopt Lavnubān Valēké ("Gateway to Valēka") after legal action from the city of Śervinak, which claimed an identical slogan. Śervinak itself was forced to abandon the slogan for Tolalpuv Valēká ("Valeka's Doorstep") after a lawsuit filed by a real estate consortium in Telmerdun, which had been using it to advertise several residential developments it had built near the Telmerdun Bridge linking Niyaska to Strathannan Island. Iselinites who dislike the noise pollution, traffic, and strange-smelling foreigners brought by the airport often refer to their city as Tolaśbruv Valeká ("Valēka's Doormat") instead.
Iselin is the southern terminus of the Niyaska Transit Authority's Maroon Line commuter railway, which also serves Rávéga, Fôklār, Savetta, Kartaret, and Ipson Station in Valēka, where it connects to that city's subway and light rail network.

Śervinak
Śervinak is a port city in northern Niyaska, adjoining Valēka Harbour. Built largely on polders, the city is home to the largest share of Valēka Port Authority facilities in Niyaska, and despite being relatively unknown outside of the Valēka metro area, is among the fifty busiest port cities in the world by annual tonnage.
Deriving its name from a phonetically butchered Tapkek Urom word meaning "ugly patch of swamp", Śervinak began as an estate owned by Andrus Konvoīon, a settler from the Coscivian province of Armaka who was among the first Coscivians to arrive in Ixnay after the conclusion of Kedhur Valēkas' expeditions. Although the site of Konvoīon's manor house is now within the boundaries of Cantrasar, which surrounds Śervinak on three sides, it was indentured labourers employed by Konvoīon from the low-lying islands of Coscivia's Heron Delta who began the process of draining much of the wetland and building the dikes and polders that created room for the modern city.
Śervinak is seen as a working-class city inhabited by many of the dockworkers, construction personnel, and other blue- and grey-collar workers who keep the Federacy's largest city running, and most Śervinak residents have embraced this identity. The largest ethnic groups in the city are Æran Coscivians and Paisonic Coscivians, who each account for around one-quarter of the population. Eskean Coscivians, Cosco-Yetruenes, Damèts, Triathan Coscivians, Melotes, Kaśuvan Coscivians, Rumeli Coscivians, and Fanerians are also present in significant numbers. The overwhelming majority of Śervinak residents are "Greens", meaning fans of the Valēka Metropolitans fieldball team in the Valēka area's bizarre, politically-charged intracity sporting rivalry, in contrast to neighbouring Cantrasar, which is populated almost entirely by "Blues" (fans of the opposing Valēka Conquerors).

Havre de Grace (Coscivian: Avrēdegra) is the capital and largest city of the overseas territory of Seváronsa. It was founded in 1649 AD by the Bergendii navigator Jean-Zechariah Gullouing deLoreanne on land purchased from the native chief Bumi the Duped in exchange for an assortment of Levantine manufactures. Bergendii mariners bestowed the settlement its name in honour of its commodious natural harbour. From 1654 to 1896 AD, it was the capital of the Burgoignesc St. Nicholas Colony, and was retained as the seat of colonial administration after three of the islands comprising the St. Nicholas Colony were ceded to Kiravia as part of the diplomatic settlement concluding the War of St. Brendan's Strait.
Havre de Grace is the economic and commercial hub of the entire Seváronsa territory.
The Coscivian name of the city, Avrēdegra, is an attempt at phonetic assimilation of the original Burgoignesc name.

Sarávak (Covine: ƷaraỼak) is a city in Suderavia on the Demomap Isthmus which connects Suderavia to the Levantine mainland, directly abutting the international border between the Kiravian Federacy and Unintra. It is the third-largest city in the state, after Keremonta and the capital, Xromîda.
The city limits encompass the Sarávak Border Control Station, operated by the Liminal Integrity Service, the Kiravian Federacy's only overland border crossing outside of Cusinaut, which is an enforcement point for Kiravian customs and migration laws. The station's drive-through checkpoint includes a road interchange to facilitate the switchover from right-hand to left-hand traffic for inbound vehicles.
Cross-boundary travel and trade, duty-free retail, and federal expenditure related to the border post contribute to a municipal economy otherwise based on pulp and paper manufacture, meat and dairy processing, and public services.
As is typical of the rest of the state, most Sarávak residents are Suderavian Coscivians, Fhainn, Covines, or Skithanawites. Around five thousand Unintrans reside in the city. Most are expatriate Unintran nationals, though there are also a few naturalised or meticised Unintran-Kiravians and a larger number of natural-born Kiravians of Kiravian and Unintran parentage.

Deneva's strategic location on the River Tróra, built on undulating hills at the rocky fall line separating the Aterandic Piedmont and Bayland regions of Ventarya, provided a natural nexus for the development of commerce. Over the course of Kiravian history, even as trade patterns have shifted and new modes of transportation have evolved, the city has always been a transport hub, first for riverborne commerce, then for railways that brought Southern produce North and Northern manufactures south, and later for interstate highways, up to the present day.
Law and finance have long been driving forces in the economy. Deneva is home to the Federal Sector Court for Ventarya and the Federal Appellate Court for the Fourth Circuit, which hears federal appeals from Ventarya and Trinatria, as well as the Ventarya Bankruptcy Court and the Deneva branch of the Ventarya High Court. The Reserve Bank of Ventarya, a branch of the Reserve Bank of Kirav is located in the city.
Before Kirosocialism, Deneva had been a prominent hub for the advertising business, fuelled by the staggering advertising budgests of tobacco and kalir companies. This industry dried up under Kirosocialism after the government declared a state monopoly on smokes, but has seen resurgence post-liberalisation with the re-privatisation of companies and the opening up of foreign markets for kalir.

Telmar is a free city in Ventarya. It is the state's principal port and a major shipping hub for the Míhanska Bay region, as well as a major shipbuilding centre and the largest harbour for the Kiravian Navy. The second-largest city in Ventarya, it forms the core of the Shafton Roads metropolitan area, which is the state's third-largest.
In contrast to the surrounding towns and rural areas, where the Thínoran Coscivian language was spoken and Kiravic Coscivian was not widely understood until the Kirosocialist government began suppressing regional languages, Telmar has been a Kiravic-speaking city since the [DECADE]s, due to the presence of the Kiravian Navy and the multi-ethnic industrial workforce, which adopted Kiravic as a lingua franca. Kiravic as spoken in the city carries a distinctive accent and is peppered generously with Maritime Coscivian borrowings and various nautical and military expressions adapted to other contexts. The local accent has declined somewhat since Kirosocialism, but remains quite salient in the speech of multi-generational, working-class Telmarines.
The National Reform Party, which has a strong base among servicemen and veterans, boasts some of its strongest electoral results from Telmar and its environs. Two NRP candidates currently sit on the City Commission, and the city has elected two NRP mayors in its history.
