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). | In urban addresses, lots are numbered within their "block" (''ram''), and blocks are numbered (often irregularly) within a "circuit" (''kontruv'').

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. 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. | 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. | ||
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. | |||
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. | |||
For international mail, the country (e.g. Kiravian Federacy, Atrassic Crona, [[Scapa]], [[Pribraltar]], [[Saint Kennera]]) should also be specified. | |||
