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 | 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.

The majority of the Mandate’s seventeen thousand people are indigenous, belonging to three different ethnic groups. The Choryak 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. The Simiut and Intuit are differentiated mainly by lifestyle, speaking closely-related dialects and sharing generally similar religious traditions. Almost the entire indigenous population is nomadic or semi-nomadic, living in seasonally-shifting traditional settlements. | The majority of the Mandate’s seventeen thousand people are indigenous, belonging to three different ethnic groups.
