Serikorda

Serikorda is a state in Northeastern Great Kirav, bordering Irovasdra to the north and west, Arkelly to the northeast, Harma to the east, and Kiygrava to the south. A disputed territory throughout the Colonial and Viceregal periods, Serikorda was first organised as a state during the earliest years of the Confederate Republics of Kirav in order to foster better relations among the several neighbouring states with territorial claims to the area. However, most of the state's subsequent history has been shaped by enduring social and political rivalry between the descendants of settlers from different states.

Despite its small population and economy, Serikorda has made significant contributions to Kiravian society at large, and has an outsized position of influence in Kiravian politics due to its early, frequent, and fiercely competitive elections.

Politics and Government

Serikorda is widely known for the complicated structure of its state government, its strong municipal governments, its cosocionational constitution, and it its fiercely competitive political landscape.

Local Government

Owing to the strong localist traditions of both the Taństan community with its Anderan town meetings on one hand and the "croft and clan" orientation of the Highlander community on the other, as well as the fact that the state government has reliably been gridlocked and dysfunctional, Serikorda has very strong local governments, even by Kiravian standards.

Major classes of municipal governments include: City Town Township Charter village

Minor classes include: Direct-democratic village Sortition village Mountain hamlet Indigenous municipality

Political Parties

Serikordan electoral law is notoriously permissive with regard to the registration of new political parties, ballot access, and electoral fusion. As of Sávilús 21207, there are 216 active registered parties and 306 registered parties that are inactive or in abeyance.

In accordance with the antipartisan laws adopted after Kirosocialism, political parties as generally understood may not operate in the federal government, and registration of political parties must take place at the federal-subject level. Parties seeking a multi-state presence must have separately incorporated, registered, and financed chapters in each state. As such, due to its permissive registration policies, Serikordia is usually the first or second state where new or newly-expanding multistate parties establish a chapter, even if they engage in little or no political activity in Serikordia itself.
