As in the other weast coastal states, the Ilfenóran public and political class have a very favourable attitude towards Crona and Pan-Cronan institutions, but the [[Minor Kiravian Political Parties#Kiro-Hekuvian_Party|Kiro-Hekuvian Party's]] advertisement and electoral campaigns in the state have garnered some support for a more independent and more definitively pro-Hekuvian foreign policy. | ||

Ilfenóran municipalities are reasonably free to annex adjacent unincorporated areas, subject to the consent of landowners and certain legal conditions. However, municipalities with populations of over 25,000 are allowed (and, when directed by the state government, ''required'') to establish and serve ''coscivianwordheres'' or "suburban service halos" extending a certain radius from their boundaries, to which they are responsible for providing police, sanitation, education, utility, and other services. Municipalities can collect service fees and relevant taxes from the halos to cover the costs of these services, but cannot legislate for them. | Ilfenóran municipalities are reasonably free to annex adjacent unincorporated areas, subject to the consent of landowners and certain legal conditions.

The most populated areas of Ilfenóra belong to the West Coast cultural region of Great Kirav. In common with the rest of the region, Ilfenóran culture has strong creative, innovative tendencies that are most evident in the coastal cities. These areas are known for their modern architectural styles, experimental and syncretic approaches to food, art, and design, and more optimistic attitude towards change and development compared to the Kiravian mainstream. | The most populated areas of Ilfenóra belong to the West Coast cultural region of Great Kirav.

The cities, towns, and rural areas of the Contracoastal Valley to the east of the Coast Ranges constitute the central portion of the West Coast "Rosary Belt" stretching from [[Venèra]] to southern [[Metrea]]. Religious adherence in this region is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, and Catholicism is extremely influential in local culture and daily life. The Ilfenóran stretch of the Rosary Belt is home to several Catholic universities and seminaries, as well as important religious shrines such as that of St. Imanūen of Þyferra. Though isolated from the region geographically, the offshore island of [[Xoésa]] is widely considered to be an extension of the [[Rosary Belt]] due to similar social and religious characteristics. | The cities, towns, and rural areas of the Contracoastal Valley to the east of the Coast Ranges constitute the central portion of the West Coast "Rosary Belt" stretching from [[Venèra]] to southern [[Metrea]].

The largest Coscivian ethnosocial group in Ilfenóra | The largest Coscivian ethnosocial group in Ilfenóra are the [[Serradem Coscivians|Serradans]], concentrated in the Contracoastal Valley. The Serradans, most of whom have a significant degree of Urom admixture, trace their ethnogenesis to the Jesuit-driven Christianisation and colonisation of the Contracoastal Valley, and their culture forms the foundation of the regional culture of the Rosary Belt. [[West Highland Coscivians|Western Highlanders]] are the dominant group in the Emynlúana mountain vales. The coastal cities are ethnically diverse, with the largest Coscivian groups being Pelargians, Lusans, Ærans, Kostiatans, Insdans, Kaskans, Engrìm, Korskans, Lúnstans, Umcarans, and Æonaran Coscivians, Margarittans, and Illotem.

Mining has played an important role in the Ilfenóran economy since the Silver Rush, and continues to account for the majority of the state's commodity sales. Ilfenóra has large reserves of copper, silver, and titanium, as well as 76% of the Federacy's proven lithium reserves. Chromium, feldspar, rhenium, cobalt, borates, Fuller's earth, rhyolite, and beryllium are also actively extracted from Ilfenóra.
