The East Arctic Mandate (Coscivian: Êdrixistórulnax Ípasimdiskírēn) is a League of Nations mandate in far northern Crona entrusted to the Kiravian Federacy.
Geography
The East Arctic Mandate borders North Atrassic Crona to the South, though there is no overland road or rail route between the two territories. It borders the ice cap to the North, the Atrassic Ocean to the east, and Urc’s protectorate to the West.
Government
The East Arctic Mandate is an administrative state governed by Kiravian federal agencies and appointees.
There is no legislative body, though there are vague plans to convene a consultative council without lawmaking powers sometime in the near future.
Local Governance
The East Arctic Mandate is divided into six deneþuriguv, translatable as “bailiwicks” or “magisterial districts”, which serve as the judicial and statistical equivalent of amtra (“countyships”) in other Kiravian federal subjects. These include four raion into which the mandate’s territory is divided latitudinally - Tundra, Near Arctic, High Arctic, and Extreme Arctic - and two vestra (“boroughs”) - Ōsen-Rōtelra and Port Safeway - which are administratively separate from the raīon surrounding them.
At the present time, indigenous denizens of the Mandate who have not voluntarily submitted to civil registration are generally left to their own devices, with Kiravian authorities governing them (when necessary) indirectly through tribal leaders as intermediaries.
Society & Culture
The majority of the Mandate’s seventeen thousand people are indigenous, belonging to three different ethnic groups. The Chiryak or Chiraq people live as tundra herders and inland hunters. The Simiut are hunter-gatherers in the more northerly glaciated areas and the Intuit are marine mammal hunters living on the sea ice and adjacent coastal regions. Almost the entire indigenous population is nomadic or semi-nomadic, living in seasonally-shifting traditional settlements.
A small but growing population of Coscivian and Celtic Kiravians live in the Mandate, almost all on a temporary basis as military and governmental personnel, scientists, and service workers. A few Kiravian merchants and missionaries also live in the Mandate. There are also some Koré'hetanùan workers in the mandate who maintain the supply chains to touristic establishments in the International Nature Preserve.
Economy
Nomadic subsistence
Science, shady military activities, and hotel supply chains.
Some offshore fishing.
