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. | The generic Kiravic term for Kiravian second-level administrative divisions is ''amtra'', usually translated as "countyship" or "county".

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. | Under the Kiravian Union, the term ''amtra'' was replaced with ''raīon''.
