Kiravia holds significant deposits of coal, both on the Kiravian mainland and in the overseas provinces and possessions. Historically, the Eastern Highlands coal veins were the most economically important, fuelling the Kiravian industrial revolution and the growth of modern cities such as [[Valēka]], [[Eriadun]], [[Primóra]], and [[Saar-Raverdan]] along the eastern seaboard's {{wp|fall line}}. Coal powered (and in large part, continues to power) the nation's railways, and the need to transport coal across long inland distances was the driving force behind the growth of the nation's rail network. At XY.ZZ% of production, coal remains a critically important energy source for Kiravia, despite losing significant ground to oil, gas, and nuclear energy. Most coal imports to Great Kirav come from [[Faneria]] and from the Colonies. | Kiravia holds significant deposits of coal, both on the Kiravian mainland and in the overseas provinces and possessions.
