===Coscivian Nationalism===

Coscivian Nationalists believe that the culture, history, and public institutions of the Kiravian Federacy are fundamentally Coscivian in character, that Kiravia is inseparable from the wider Coscivian world, and that a Coscivian cultural and civic identity is essential to Kiravia's survival and functioning as a nation. The CNC rejects cosmpolitanism and liberal multiculturalism, ~~while at~~ the ~~same time celebrating~~ the ~~rich internal diversity of~~ Coscivian ~~civilisation~~ and ~~affirming~~ the ~~legal~~ and ~~social equality~~ of ~~the Federacy's "national minorities" (Kiravite Urom~~, ~~Celts~~, and ~~Khars)~~.

Coscivian Nationalists believe that the culture, history, and public institutions of the Kiravian Federacy are fundamentally Coscivian in character, that Kiravia is inseparable from the wider Coscivian world, and that a Coscivian cultural and civic identity is essential to Kiravia's survival and functioning as a nation. The CNC rejects {{wp|cosmpolitanism}} and {{wp|multiculturalism|liberal multiculturalism}}, but accepts and even valorises the internal variation within Coscivian-Kiravian society. Philosophically, there are two schools within the CNA camp: Monistic nationalists - rooted in the UAS tradition - emphasise Coscivian unity and hope to break down parochial barriers between Coscivians; where as {{wp|Composite nationalism|Composite nationalists}} - rooted in the Coscosophist and Pan-Coscivianist traditions - argue that the Coscivian Nation naturally and teleologically encompasses a multiplicity of subcultures, communities, castes, and religious approaches, and that this nesting of subnational identities under the Coscivian national identity strengthens the Nation.

====Minorities====

Officially, the CNC affirms the civil, political, and cultural rights of recognised non-Coscivian minority groups in Kiravia. Those within the movement generally consider the non-tribal 'Kiravite Minorities' unproblematic, and favour "finalising" their cultural and symbolic assimilation. They are indifferent to the tribal ''[[Urom]]'' peoples, who are too numerically insignificant and socially marginal to detract from the Coscivian character of the State.

The Celtic-Kiravian minority holds a more complicated and contentious place in CosNat discourse. Among the [[Eshavian Coscivians|Eshavian]]-[[Taństan Coscivians|Taństan]] cohort and the unconverted High Castes, some Coscivian-nationalists express active animosity towards Kiravian Celts. Most outside these circles do not share this animosity, but are nonetheless sceptical of Gaelic {{wp|minority politics}} and fear a "creeping binationalism".

Many in the CNC favour the partition of [[Sydona]] to offload the local [[Thračicians|Thračician]] and [[Sydona#Ethnic_groups|Pelian]] peoples, while retaining Coscivian-majority parts of the archipelago.

====Anti-Occidentalism====

The current "third wave" of the Coscivian National movement began after the fall of [[Kirosocialism]] and the reversal of its isolationist and protectionist policies by the Federalist Republican Alliance in order to encourage foreign trade and investment. This resulted in unprecedented exposure to Occidental media and material culture, as well as direct personal contact with Occidentals, and engendered fears among many that Coscivian civilisation would soon succumb to Occidentalisation and become part of a homogenised, globalist "world culture". Views of Occidental civilisation among Coscivian Nationalist politicians vary from the simple assertion that Occidental ways are for Occidentals while Coscivian ways are for Coscivians to the idea that Occidental civilisation is deeply flawed and morally inferior to Coscivian civilisation, or more extremely, the idea that Occidental civilisation is an active force for ill in the world. Anti-Occidentalism among CNC members and voters is also driven by opposition to the materialism, secularism, crass commercialism, and utilitarianism with which the Occident associated by sectors of the Kiravian public.

====Immigration====

The Congress is generally supportive of immigration; quite vocally so with regard to [[Cronan]] immigrants from regions currently or formerly under Kiravian paramountcy. CNC legislators have repeatedly endorsed "constructive cross-migration" between the Kiravian Federacy and the [[~~Mid-Atrassic Crona|~~Mid-Atrassic States]], in the interest of "consolidating the pluricontinental, inclusive future of Coscivian civilisation".

===={{wp|Language policy}}====

The question of a {{wp|national language}} is divisive within the Congress. A plurality and perhaps majority favour [[High Coscivian]] as a transethnic, National literary language, but disagree as to which of the language's several registers is most appropriate. The largest minority camp wish to formalise [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Standard Kiravic]] as the national language, arguing that it already holds this status ''de facto''. Congress members from natively Kiravic-speaking backgrounds mostly detest Standard Kiravic and prefer [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Literary Kiravic]]. Some Congress members believe that a common national ''spoken'' language is necessary, while others do not.

Coscivian Nationalists are opposed to the expansion of [[Ænglish language]] education in public schools, and suggest diverting funding ~~for~~ Ænglish ~~education to courses on~~ [[Latin language|Latin]] ~~and the~~ [[Paulastran language]] instead.

Coscivian Nationalists are opposed to the expansion of [[Ænglish language]] education in public schools, and suggest diverting funding from Ænglish and [[Latin language|Latin]] education toward non-Japhetic languages like [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]], [[Paulastran language|Paulastran]], and [[Cape Coscivian]] instead.

<!-- Coscivian Nationalists support maintaining the Federacy's ethnically preferential and highly bureaucratic immigration system, believing that streamlining immigration and naturalisation procedures for Coscivian immigrants while actively limiting immigration by non-Coscivians is necessary to preserve Kiravia's Coscivian culture. This largely manifests itself in support for the status quo of Kiravian immigration policy, but some CNC members have taken harsher stances, seeking to roll back the comparatively liberal Mérovin- and Candrin-era reforms of long-term visa and permanent residency policies, impose greater restrictions on non-Coscivian groups (including entry bans on particular nationalities, even for tourism), or even ban non-Coscivian immigration altogether.
