'''Second-level administrative divisions of Kiravia''' (Kiravic: ''Idotorūix astrotheśkæ Kiraviá'') are those administrative-territorial formations existing directly below the [[Kiravian federal subjects|provinces of the Kiravian Federacy]].
[[File:Liquefaction at Niigata.JPG|thumb|was a mistake]]
Most states and territories in [[Great Kirav]] are divided into 20-40 countyships/raions.
=Kiravian addressing system=
The '''Kiravian addressing system''' is based on a nested hierarchy of discrete geographical units, from the ''dar'' (lot, parcel, or estate) to the block (''ram'') or townland, on up to the [[Kiravian province|province]]. Kiravian addresses do not make reference to streets or roads (which are not named in Kiravia), but rather to the physical configurations of the country’s built environments and the boundaries of its administrative divisions. The web portal [[Kiravia.kr]] describes the system as “place-oriented rather than route-oriented”. The system is complex and idiosyncratic, showing considerable variation across the country.
In some provinces, such as [[Niyaska]], an intermediate level of administrative division between the province and the countyship/raion exists, but this is not present in all states or even throughout some provinces where it is present.
The basis of the Kiravian system is landlots and land development. Changing patterns of development in an area thus result in changes to how locations are addressed as they are subdivided and developed.
==Terminology==
==General paradigm==
The generic Kiravic term for Kiravian second-level administrative divisions is ''amtra'', usually translated as "countyship" or "county". In federal subjects where Kiravic is not the traditional or official language, local terms such as x, y, z, are used instead, but almost always translated to ''amtra'' in Kiravic. Some federal subjects with multiple classes of second-level divisions other than countyships use ''deneþuriguv'' (variously translated as "bailiwick" or "magisterial district") as the generic term.
There are two general forms of address in Kiravia, usually referred to as "urban" and "rural". The boundary between urban and rural in terms of addresses is often blurry. Buildings in {{wp|Nucleated village|clustered rural villages}} typically use an "urban"-style address,<ref>Typicalment, villages user urban-type addresses while ''hamlets'', as defined by their heritage from premodern times as home to non-cultivating communities such as ''[[harsitem]]'', use rural-type addresses. {{wp|Dispersed settlement|dispersed}} and {{wp|Linear settlement|linear villages}} are assigned rural-type addresses even if they have incorporated as municipalities.</ref> while some newly built-up {{wp|peri-urban}} developments use rural addresses.
Under the Kiravian Union, the term ''amtra'' was replaced with ''raīon''. After the Federal Restoration this change was reversed, but a few home-rule countyships nominally retain the title of ''raīon'' for themselves, whether out of nostalgia for the Kiravian Union or simple inertia. This difference in title has no governmental significance.
Most provinces have only one class of second-level division, the countyship.
[ ''vintuv'' ]<br>
[ Optional additional layers: District, City borough, New area etc. ]<br>
Provincial laws sometimes define other classes of second-level administrative divisions distinct from countyships. The most common of these is the '''free city''' (''víutisar''), which is typically a populous, thoroughly urbanised municipality of special significance that is beyond the jurisdiction of any county. Free cities exist in [[Ventarya]] (X such cities), [[Hanoram]] (2 cities), [[Suderavia]] (one city), [[Valtéra]] (one city), [[Asperidan]] (one city), and the [[District of Coīnvra]] (one city).
[ City ], [ [[Countyship]] ], [ Province ]<br>
[ Country, e.g. KF, [[Atrassic Crona]] ]<br>
Some sparsely-populated areas or frontier regions may be designated as '''districts''' (''distriktuv'') or '''peripheries''' (''rymnivera''). This is usually indicative of a smaller, weaker governmental apparatus with greater dependency on the provincial government than the subject's countyships. Districts exist in [[Verastia Territory]], [[West Rhuon]], and various parts of Kiravian Crona.

===Grades===
[ [[Countyship]] ], [ Province ]<br>
Five unofficial grades of countyships may be defined, based on their degree of self-governance: autonomous countyships, home rule countyships, standard countyships, limited or departmental countyships, and non-governing countyships.
[ Country, e.g. KF, [[Atrassic Crona]] ]<br>

'''Autonomous countyships''' have special status, enjoy wide-reaching structural, functional, and fiscal autonomy, and enjoy exemptions from generally applicable state laws. Currently, all autonomous countyships are designated for [[Urom]] communities or National Minority populations, though there have been proposals to create autonomous countyships for other purposes, such as to govern the [[Holden Island]] bistate condominium or to expand casino gambling.
| Example
| Example
'''Home-rule countyships''' are self-organised (the countyship government is a fiscally and legally independent corporate entity from the provincial government, though functioning within the parameters of provincial laws and charged with administrative responsibilities by the province), and enjoy significant structural, functional, and fiscal latitude, in contrast to '''standard countyships''', which have their structures fully and functions significantly defined by province-wide law and are fiscally accountable to the provincial government. Standard countyships are by far the most common type, followed by home rule countyships. Together, standard and home-rule countyships account for the vast majority of Kiravian second-level divisions and contain almost the entirety (>96%) of the Kiravian population. In some provinces, such as Hanoram State, all countyships are home-rule by default. In others, such as [[Cascada]], home rule is granted on an individual basis by the legislature.
In some provinces, and for some specific countyships in other provinces, the countyship government does not exist as an entity distinct from the provincial government. These are classified as '''limited countyships'''. County-level powers are exercised by provincial agencies and appointees, usually in the absence of locally-elected officials or councils. In Itaho-Falkaria, for example, several sparsely-populated countyships are administered directly by the Territorial Forestry Service. In Sydona, Destran Raion is a "raion of republican subordination" administered by a Department of Metropolitan Affairs.

Some countyships have no government of their own, but nonetheless exist on paper and may be used as a judicial, statistical, and administrative district by other government agencies. In some cases, such '''non-governing countyships''' arose through attrition, as responsibilities of a previous county government were devolved to municipal governments and/or resumed by the state. This has occurred in several countyships in Fariva, the X cantons of [[Valēka]] (each of which is a countyship of Kiygrava State), and all countyships of [[Bissáv]], all of which still have county courts and county registrars. In most cases, however, non-governing countyships are created in areas where no previous county-level government existed, such as islands with no permanent civilian population or small provinces whose territory is coterminous with a single county (Interlacunal District, Fanlin Island). There have been several instances in Kiravian history when entire counties have been depopulated by war, crop failures, or other exceptional circumstances. In [[Kyllera]], individual countyship governments can cease to function for extended periods due to unrest (usually involving the Síruku aboriginals) and disease. In Daridia, it is not uncommon for certain rural counties to elect councils with hardline libertarian majorities that either vote themselves out of existence, refuse to carry out any business, or fail to convene at all.

===Registry===
The county registry is the repository for a wide range of official records and documents. The county Registrar may be directly elected or appointed by the County Commission.
The county registry certifies and records titles and deeds and produces the county's cadastral map. It maintains the ''[[Household registration in Kiravia|thramdastraterion]]'' ("household registry"), and issues and stores certificates of birth, death, and marriage. Where offered, domestic partnerships and civil unions are normally recorded at the county level. The county registry maintains (but does not always administer) the electoral rolls and election returns. {{wp|Trust law|Trusts}} are typically organised and registered at the county level, and in some provinces other non-corporate business entities - such as partnerships and registered associations - are registered at the county level as well.
'''Paramóra''' is a [[county]] (''amtra'') of [[Æonara|Central Æonara]], located on the South Atrassic coast. It encompasses the city of Sirana and the core of its metropolitan area, which extends outward into the adjacent counties. [[Cities of Kiravia#Xūrosar|Xūrosar]] metropolitan area, and is primarily rural in character, with several growing {{wp|exurban}} communities.
In urban addresses, lots are numbered within their "block" (''ram''), and blocks are numbered (often irregularly) within a "circuit" (''kontruv''). In rural addresses, lots are numbered within their {{wp|townland}}. Most townlands are named, but in some remote parts of the colonies and remote parts of the mainland interior they may be numbered instead. It is not uncommon for large rural estates or high-volume urban addresses to dispense with lot numbers, and use a named location instead (e.g. Konsaháken Manor, World Financial Building).

It is well-known as the site of the Thóridan Massacre during the [[Cromwelute Wars]], when victorious Coscivian forces indiscriminately slaughtered the entire population of a Cromwelute town that had existed on the site of what it now the borough of Thóridan. The anniversary of this event is celebrated with local festivities, and is also commemorated during ''Sāxna Būraktorsk Gromhélulya'', a federal holiday.
According to the 21200 Census, the population of Co. Altair was 72,000. 71.24% of the population reported themselves as belonging to the [[Ethnic groups in Kiravia#Arnórian Coscivians|Arnórian Coscivian]] [[tuva|ethnosocial group]], with 53.35% reporting it as their sole group identity. 22% of the population are Celtic-Kiravians, virtually all of them Kiravian Gaels. </s>
All urban circuits have numbers known to the sector post office; however, in some cities the sector numbers are not common knowledge, and the corresponding neighbourhood name is used instead. In [[Escarda]], the opposite is the case: most residential neighbourhoods do not have official names and use only the ''kontruv'' number. In larger towns and cities, ''kontruv'' are numbered within ''vintuv'' which are (or once were) physically discernible districts or outgrowths of the urban area. Rural addresses are also grouped into sectors, which in most cases are directional divisions of the countyship (e.g. NW, NE, SE, SW), though in the South and the Baylands they are generally named instead and correspond to large historic landholdings or feudal domains.
Æonaran Coscivian is the predominant spoken language in the county<s> and the main working language of the county government for most purposes, though [[Kiravic Coscivian]] and [[Kiravian Gaelic]] have auxilliary official status.
Many addresses feature additional geographic information that may apply, such as a city district or borough (if not elsewhere specified), a civil or survey {{wp|township}} in states where they exist, or relevant physical-geographic features such as hollows, valleys, or islands. Such information helps to reduce ambiguity and facilitate timely and correct delivery.

Six our of nine seats on the County Commission are held by the Renaissance Party, with the remainder held by the Democratic Party.
[Agriculture]
All rural addresses include the [[countyship]] in which the address is located. Most urban-type addresses also include the countyship, though in the largest cities it is more common to omit it. The Kiravian Post strongly recommends that all addresses include the province in which they are located. However, in [[Valēka]], it is customary to ignore this for residential addresses. Every province has an official postal abbreviation, as do the Army Post Office, Fleet Post Office, and Diplomatic Post Office.

*Paramóra City (city)

==Variations==
*Sirana Gardens
In suburban areas with {{wp|tract housing}}, the tract or development usually serves as the named ''kontruv'' or townland inside which the blocks (''ram'') are numbered, though this is not always the case, as smaller developments or very large developments may be included within a preëxisting townland/''kontruv'' or subdivided into ''kontruya'', respectively.
*Sirana Lakes
*Sirana Springs
*Pomplémusar (Grapefruit City)
Populated mountains or hills often constitute their own townland. In the Northwest Territory, numbered geodesic ''ranges'' are used as an addressing unit between the countyship and vicinity, in lieu of proper townlands.
Many Kiravian settlements built or redeveloped/expanded under the [[Kiravian Union]] comprise a number of numbered {{wp|microdistricts}}. In these places, the entire microdistrict is treated as a single block (''ram'') within which buildings may be identified by numbers (often irregular), names, or non-numeric ordinals, such as letters or Ogham runes. A similar scheme is often used for buildings that are part of institutional {{wp|campus}}es or similar complexes. In the few {{wp|linear city|linear cities}} realised under the Kiravian Union, a system of band + segment is used as the basis for the ''kontruv'', within which blocks and lots are numbered quite regularly, owing to the grid-planned layout of these subunits.

*Inodarya
The Kiravian addressing system is used throughout the [[Kiravian Federacy]] and [[Kiravian Collectivity]], with the exception of [[New Ardmore]]. In New Ardmore, streets are named and urban addresses resemble those used in [[Urcea]] or [[Arcerion]]. In rural areas, an indigenous reckoning of {{wp|townlands}} is in use, so rural addresses in New Ardmore more closely resemble their mainland Kiravian counterparts.

'''Unofficial Settlements'''
The Kiravian Post's effort to fully extend the Kiravian addressing system to [[Atrassic Crona]] by delineating ''ram'', ''kontruv'', and ''vintuv'' is ongoing. As of 2030, the Post claims that all lots and blocks in compact villages have been addressed, but that facts on the ground have complicated efforts to comprehensively address rural areas, as well as {{wp|irregular settlements}} and unauthorised refugees camps such as those surrounding East [[Rigo Joint Security Area|Rigo]].

===Points of Interest===
The Kiravian Post also serves the {{wp|associated state}}s of [[Saint Kennera]] and [[Pribraltar]], and the Kiravian addressing system is used there as well. The same is true in [[Scapa]], with the unique distinction that all addresses in Scapa are rural in form, even those in the larger towns.

The '''National Service Suspension Order''' is an {{wp|executive order}} issued by PE [[Ivardus Kólsylvar]] in 1988 AD. It exercised the authority reserved to the Prime Executive under the [[Index of Kiravian Legislation#Federal|National Service Act]] to suspend the enlistment of new conscripts into the [[Kiravian Armed Forces]] on the basis of the military's manpower needs and logistical considerations.
==Background==
During the [[Kiravian Sunderance|Sunderance]], both the [[Kiravian Union]] and [[Kiravian Remnant]] practised military conscription. The Federalist government based on [[Æonara]] emulated the National Service system in place in the neighbouring [[the Cape|Cape]]. The Kiravian National Service system was intended to mobilise the Remnant's much-reduced population in order to deter aggression against its remaining scattered territories and ultimately retake the Mainland, while fostering a sense of national unity and shared purpose. The Kiravian Union relied on both military conscription and corvée labour for defence, major infrastructure projects, and other labour-intensive public undertakings.
Kiravian reunification in 1985 AD changed the calculus underlying both conscription policies. The restored Federalist government found itself in a far less precarious strategic position and now faced the difficult and expensive task of reintegrating the Mainland under its rule.
The 1985 draft was postponed and ultimately cancelled on the Mainland due to the complexities of the reunification process, but went forward in the former Remnant, due to the unresolved Sydonan Question and lingering fears of armed resistence on the Mainland. A draft also occurred in [[Sydona]], which operated as a ''de facto'' independent Kirosocialist rump state [[Sydona#Reintegration|for much of that year]]. The draft resumed nationwide in 1986, but only a fraction of the draft class (35% in the former Remnant, 20% in the former Union) were enlisted into active service, with the majority being assigned directly to reserve duty or to civilian service (45% in the Remnant, 20% in the former Union) or excused.
==Implementation==
According to ''Rough Draft'', [[List_of_Kiravian_academics#Mévar_I.L.R._Ríladorian|Mévar Ríladorian]]'s seminal work on the topic, high-level discussions about the future of conscription began almost immediately after reunification was formalised, but did not crystallise into serious policy proposals until 1986, by which time Federalist control over the Mainland and Sydona was secure and High Command had a more complete organisational understanding of the former KPA that it was tasked with absorbing.
With the 1986 draft date approaching and the high costs of administering Great Kirav's bloated population and revitalising its imploded economy weighing heavily on the restored government, the [[Executive College]] and the Stanora's Defence Committee sought recommendations from the general staff, government analysts, and independent think-tanks on how to proceed. The vast majority of recommendations solicited concluded that conscription should be scaled back and eventually abandoned. The most prominent dissenting voice came from the journal of the [[United Allegiance Society]], which argued that extending National Service with a larger civilian component to the liberated provinces and women was necessary to foster renewed national solidarity, implement cultural/ideological de-Kirsokisation, manage the youth unemployment that would result from coming market reforms, and assist humanitarian and reconstruction efforts in underdeveloped provinces.
The case for retaining National Service made in the UAS journal was presented to the Defence Committee by Delegate [[Vin Pertamin]] of West Æonara, widely reprinted in the mainstream press, and found persuasive by many. However, the Committee and the Executive College nonetheless approved the general staff's request for a smaller levy. The large number of excusals granted to the '86 draft class, combined with the contraction of many local economies on the Mainland, prompted reconsideration of the UAS' arguments, but proposals for mandatory civilian service on the Mainland were found to be too costly.
According to Ríladorian, the Kólsylvar administration had already resolved to
==Reception==
The suspension of conscription was welcomed by the military brass and enjoyed broad consensus among the political class. To the surprise of some, its reception among the general population was more tepid. Many citizens raised in the former Remnant, especially those who had completed their NS term, viewed the system as an important national institution and lifecycle milestone. Citizens from both halves of the newly-reunited nation shared concerns that reliance on volunteers would weaken the nation's defences. On the Mainland, where conditions for conscripts in the Kiravian People's Army had been less than stellar and memories thereof correspondingly less fond, there was less overt opposition to the order. However, many citizens raised in the Kiravian Union still had reservations about the end of conscription, including fears that, combined with the dominance of former Remnant officers in the new command structure, the reunified Kiravian Forces would not be a "people's army" representative of the national majority, but rather a repressive instrument of the Æonaran élite.
Several states, mostly in the former Remnant, vowed to preserve National Service at the provincial level, and their legislatures drew up plans to draft resident youth into their state defence forces and civilian service programmes. Of the several plans drafted, fewer were implemented, and most were abandoned within two years. The surviving Provincial Service systems in the former Remnant all saw their military component attenuated from full-time militia service to mandatory reserve and training programmes for men, and saw their civilian service programmes expanded and opened to both genders.
Provincial Service on the reserve + civilian corps model continues today in [[West Æonara]], [[Umcara State]], [[Suderavia]], and the [[Krasoa Islands]]. Compulsory reserve service continues in [[Porfíria]] and [[Kyllera]], and was temporarily reïntroduced in other parts of Kiravian Crona during [[the Deluge]].
The Kiravian addressing system is based on a nested hierarchy of discrete geographical units, from the dar (lot, parcel, or estate) to the block (ram) or townland, on up to the province. Kiravian addresses do not make reference to streets or roads (which are not named in Kiravia), but rather to the physical configurations of the country’s built environments and the boundaries of its administrative divisions. The web portal Kiravia.kr describes the system as “place-oriented rather than route-oriented”. The system is complex and idiosyncratic, showing considerable variation across the country.
The basis of the Kiravian system is landlots and land development. Changing patterns of development in an area thus result in changes to how locations are addressed as they are subdivided and developed.
General paradigm
There are two general forms of address in Kiravia, usually referred to as "urban" and "rural". The boundary between urban and rural in terms of addresses is often blurry. Buildings in clustered rural villages typically use an "urban"-style address,[1] while some newly built-up peri-urban developments use rural addresses.

In larger towns and cities, kontruv are numbered within vintuv which are (or once were) physically discernible districts or outgrowths of the urban area. Rural addresses are also grouped into sectors, which in most cases are directional divisions of the countyship (e.g. NW, NE, SE, SW), though in the South and the Baylands they are generally named instead and correspond to large historic landholdings or feudal domains.

A similar scheme is often used for buildings that are part of institutional campuses or similar complexes. In the few linear cities realised under the Kiravian Union, a system of band + segment is used as the basis for the kontruv, within which blocks and lots are numbered quite regularly, owing to the grid-planned layout of these subunits.
Extent
The Kiravian addressing system is used throughout the Kiravian Federacy and Kiravian Collectivity, with the exception of New Ardmore. In New Ardmore, streets are named and urban addresses resemble those used in Urcea or Arcerion. In rural areas, an indigenous reckoning of townlands is in use, so rural addresses in New Ardmore more closely resemble their mainland Kiravian counterparts.
The Kiravian Post's effort to fully extend the Kiravian addressing system to Atrassic Crona by delineating ram, kontruv, and vintuv is ongoing. As of 2030, the Post claims that all lots and blocks in compact villages have been addressed, but that facts on the ground have complicated efforts to comprehensively address rural areas, as well as irregular settlements and unauthorised refugees camps such as those surrounding East Rigo.
The Kiravian Post also serves the associated states of Saint Kennera and Pribraltar, and the Kiravian addressing system is used there as well. The same is true in Scapa, with the unique distinction that all addresses in Scapa are rural in form, even those in the larger towns.
