District of Ksoīnvra: Difference between revisions

[[Kiravian addressing system|Departing from the usual custom]], mailing addresses in Kartika do not include the countyship name, even where applicable. Residents and small businesses in Éamonsar usually record their address as being in "Éamonsar, EKS", reflecting the affluent borough's separate identity and social cachet. However, the many larger businesses and organisations based in Éamonsar, many of which have a national or even international profile, prefer "Kartika, EKS".

===Law===

The like other Kiravian provinces, the District of Ksoīnvra maintains its own legal system and body of law, which derives from the [[Coscivian law]] tradition and is constituted by the Cultivated Law, district statutes, and federal legislation applied directly to the District. Its judiciary comprises four trial court benches, one for each countyship (Éamonsar is served by the Co. Ksoīnvra trial court) and one for the independent core of Kartika. Each bench also operates specialised courts for summary traffic and parking matters, juvenile delinquency, nonviolent drug crimes, and landlord-tenant disputes.

Line 101:

Owing to its status as home to the Federal government's "company town" of sorts, the District of Ksoīnvra has a unique society and culture without any close parallel elsewhere in the Federacy.

The population of the District of Ksoīnvra is highly transient: Only 28.6% of Ksoīnvra residents were born in the District, by far the lowest figure for any federal subject, and even fewer could be considered "lifelong" residents. Only 46% of residents hold District of Ksoīnvra-issued [[Passport system in the Kiravian Federacy|internal passports]]. A study of public records conducted at the University of the District of Ksoīnvra in [[2018|21198]] found that 76% of people born in the District between [[1985|21165]] and [[1995|21175]] had since relocated elsewhere. This high rate of migration is attributable to the scarcity of employment unrelated to government, temporary migration to the District for employment or political purposes, and better public services and living conditions in the Hanoram and ~~Ventarya~~ suburbs.

Because of its ever-shifting, largely professional population, the District lacks many features typical of other Kiravian cities, such as long-established ethnic neighbourhoods, a local accent (see ''Language'' below), or much distinctive local vocabulary.

Line 108:

===Language===

Kiravic Coscivian is the language of daily life, governance, and business in the District. With the exception of some recent immigrants/expatriates and even fewer internal migrants, virtually all adults living and working in the District understand Kiravic. In contrast, Kalverþan Coscivian is the prevailing language across most of neighbouring ~~Ventarya~~ and Hanoram. Today, Kartika and its inner metropolitan area form a Kiravic-speaking island in a Kalverþan-speaking lake. This was not always the case - When the District was established in [YEAR], the existing population spoke Kalverþan, and Kalverþan remained the predominant and administrative language for the first three decades or so of the Federal Era. After a brief period of trilingualism (Kalverþan, Kiravic, and South Coscivian) in the [DECADE], the District gradually transitioned toward being a Kirophone enclave. Kalverþan remained an administrative language for the District, concurrently with Kiravic, and continued to be spoken by a robust minority and often learned by migrants until the advent of Kirosocialism.

Unlike other Kiravic-speaking cities outside of the Kiravic heartland, such as [[Bérasar]] and [[Cities of Kiravia#Telmar|Telmar]], modern Kartika does not have a recognisably distinct local dialect or accent. Some phonographic evidence, written references, and personal anecdotes suggest that such an accent - influenced mainly by Estuary Kiravic and Kalverþan - may have existed before Kirosocialism, though this remains contested among dialectologists. R.A. Pimagrumav, a historical linguist at Founding Fathers' University and leading exponent of the dialect's existence, believes that the accent was strongest among the city's native middle class and likely became extinct one generation into the Kiravian Union, as the Kirosocialist overhaul of the city displaced most of the established residents, and those who remained likely suppressed their accent to avoid association with the old order.

Line 117:

As would befit the capital district of a large multiëthnic and socially segmented population, Ksoīnvra is reasonably diverse in ethnic, kith, and caste terms.

The traditional core working-class population of Kartika has been made up of people from the historically disadvantaged ''[[Harsitem|harsit]]'' and ''[[Yakav|yakav]]'' castes, who moved to the city and its burgeoning outskirts to escape their entrenched subaltern status in rural Kirav and seek better opportunities. Most came from the surrounding Baylands states of Hanoram and ~~Ventarya~~, large minority came from Kiravic-speaking regions or [[South Kirav|the South]]. The "[[Kiravian_Development_Executive#CDRI|Depressed Classes]]" accounted for 46% of the population of Ksoīnvra in 1980, 74% in 1990, 67% in 2000, 60% in 2010, 54% in 2020, and 41% in 2030. They became an absolute majority (but economically worse-off) in the wake of reunification as the socialist system was dismantled and the bureaucratic class dispersed with the corresponding government layoffs. In recent decades their share of the District's population has declined as many ''harsitem'' and ''yakavem'' families have moved to the surrounding suburbs (especially in Hanoram's [[Sergion Countyship]]), the white-collar presence has rebounded, and blue-collar workers of other backgrounds have migrated in. The ''harsitem'' live mainly in Pentékostea, eastern Ksoīnvra Countyship, and a few neighbourhoods on the far east end of independent Kartika, though the ''harsitex'' character of these latter neighbourhoods are threatened by {{wp|gentrification}}. The Ælix Harsitkonda (lit. "Big Ol' ''Harsitka''") in Pentékostea coälesced in the 1830s around the southern terminus of the Iyerpalan Memorial Bridge and became the second major population cluster in the countyship, populated by Kalvertan-speaking ''harsitem''. Many ''yakavem'' live in these same general areas (albeit in separate neighbourhoods), but their population is somewhat more evenly dispersed across the District, as these castes were not subject to the same manner of discrimination as the ''harsitem'' and were able to establish enclaves closer to the middle-class neighbourhoods where many of them worked as domestic servants.

The largest community of Avrētnem, a Coscivian ethnoreligious group adhering to {{wp|Oriental Orthodoxy}} is found in northwestern Ksoīnvra County and directly adjacent census tracts in Hanoram.
