Irovasdra's first inhabitants were Dankememic-speaking Kirhavite | Irovasdra's first inhabitants were Dankememic-speaking Kirhavite Urom related to the Tapkek tribes of [[Kaviska]] and [[Niyaska]]. However, during the Xth century, these aboriginals were partially displaced by Gaelic migrants, which established numerous independent chiefdoms in the region. Low population densities among both groups allowed for a reasonable degree of peaceful coëxistence and occasional coöperation against the Normand brigands that frequently raided the coast until the arrival of Coscivians in 1318 ''anno Domini''. | ||

Over the next several weeks, the asylum dispute became a rallying point for Pan-Celtic and anti-federal sympathisers across the Federacy. Mac Tòisich, an outspoken proponent of both, continued to rebuke Federal requests (and later demands) that he render Eriugena to Federal custody, and assigned Eriugena a protective detail of Irovasdra State Troopers. Meanwhile, Eriugena was relocated to Fèlecorner, where he moved about freely and was given a hero's welcome by the local population. The Candrin administration, hoping to settle the matter without coërcion, filed suit against Irovasdra and mac Tòisich in the Kiravian High Court, but mac Tòisich, invoking "sovereign immunity" (which does not exist for state governments or officials in the federal court system) announced that neither he nor a representative of the government would appear. Faced with the politically disastrous prospect of having Federal Marshals bring a sitting Governor before the High Court by force (potentially also involving combat with Irovasdran police or militia), Candrin authorised the Migration Enforcement Agency to surveil Eriugena and his detail with the goal of apprehending the fugitive by force. | Over the next several weeks, the asylum dispute became a rallying point for Pan-Celtic and anti-federal sympathisers across the Federacy.

However, the political fallout from the incident continued to plague the Candrin administration for many years, and energised the antifederalist camp in its support of mac Tòisich for the 21209 Prime Executive election. | ||

The First Executive of Irovasdra serves a three-year term renewable once. Irovasdra is one of only six states to place term limits on its chief executive. Relative to most Kiravian states, especially those in eastern Great Kirav, the First Executure of Irovasdra is rather weak vis-a-vis the legislature. All executive appointments must be confirmed by the Auditorium, and the First Executive lacks the power to issue non-administrative decrees with the force of law except in times of emergency. Irovasdra is the only state in the Northeast whose chief executive is recallable. | The First Executive of Irovasdra serves a three-year term renewable once.

Political parties are comparatively weak in Irovasdra, as a result of the reservation of seats for independents and stringent antipartisan electoral regulations. As such, Irovasdran political parties tend to serve as the nuclei of looser political groupings comprising their own party members and larger numbers of like-minded independents. The main political parties currently operating in the state are the '''Commonwealth Party''' (Christian democratic, [[Caritist Social Union|CSU]]-affiliated), the '''Brothers of Irovasdra''' (Centrist, {{wp|Conservative liberalism|conservative-liberal}}, [[ | Political parties are comparatively weak in Irovasdra, as a result of the reservation of seats for independents and stringent antipartisan electoral regulations.

The '''Northeastern Reform Party''' (Liberal conservative, [[Authentic Historical Caucus]]-affiliated) is also active, but currently lacks representation. Competition between Irovasdran parties is more vigorous in Federal elections, with the state's three Federal Stanora seats frequently changing hands between the Commonwealth Party, Brothers of Irovasdra, Clann na Bhéil, and Celtic Distributists. | ||
