District of Coīnvra: Difference between revisions

Line 62:

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

The population of the District of Coīnvra is highly transient: Only 18.6% of Coīnvra residents were born in the District (the lowest figure for any federal subject), and ~~only~~ 46% of residents hold District of Coīnvra-issued [[Passport system in the Kiravian Federacy|internal passports]]. A study of public records conducted at the University of the District of Coīnvra 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 ~~schools~~ and ~~economic~~ conditions ~~for young families~~ in ~~nearby areas~~.

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.

There is a sharp class divide in the District between the [[Social class in Kiravia#Overclass|overclass]] and [[Social class in Kiravia#Republican class|republican-class]] residents who control and operate the Federal government and its related industries and the [[Social class in Kiravia#Republican class|democratic-class]] residents who maintain the city and provide service labour. This disparity is more pronounced in the District of Coīnvra than other metropolitan core areas in Kiravia for a number of reasons: The relative dearth of industries unrelated to government offers fewer opportunities for the lower-republican (e.g. industrial or office managers, sales professionals) and upper-democratic (e.g. skilled industrial workers, clerks) classes, while attracting a wealthy, highly-educated élite. In addition, high real estate prices and a very high cost of living have caused most middle-republican, lower-republican, and upper-democratic people to settle in the ~~sattelite~~ cities and commuter suburbs of the [[Kartika Metropolitan Area]] rather than its core in the District. As a result, Kartika has come to be regarded as "the most ~~classist~~ city in Kiravia", with visitors and recent migrants to the District ~~noting~~ how rarely the republican and democratic classes ~~interact with one another~~ outside of work-related or commercial transactions.

===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.

Although it is located well to the south of the Lower Kiravic dialect belt, Kiravic as spoken in Kartika tends to reflect more influences from the Upper Kiravic of Kiygrava and Niyaska.
