===Loss of Koskenkorva=== | |||
Following the eviction of anti-communist forces from the Mainland, the Federalists were forced to confront an untenable strategic reality in Koskenkorva. The large island was a loyalist stronghold and had previously been prized by Federalist planners as a base from which to press the Socialists and a staging area for a future reconquest of the populous eastern seaboard of Great Kirav. | |||

The exact configuration of the government varied over time as it adapted to new and changing conditions on Æonara. Moreover, how the government functioned in practice was often quite different to what was claimed on paper, with some political scientists describing the Remnant as a {{wp|military dictatorship}} or a {{wp|closed anocracy}} for certain periods during the exile. More charitable analyses have characterised the Remnant as a {{wp|managed democracy}}. | The exact configuration of the government varied over time as it adapted to new and changing conditions on Æonara.

Parties outside of the National Reunification Front were barred from entering politics in 211XV by a temporary constitutional amendment ratified ahead of the first Stanora election in exile. These restrictions were lifted in 211XW. Other parties in the NRF included the [[Christian Democratic Party of Kiravia|Christian Democratic Party]], the United Agrarian Party, and the [[Social Democrats KF|Social Democrats of the Kiravian Federacy]], represented by [[Soran Akēvarin]]. Even during the period of single-party rule, contentious politics persisted, and factional struggles within the Renaissance Party had a major role in charting the course of public policy. The main divisions within the RP were between the “movement Renaissance Men” who stayed close to the path laid out by V.R. Sarosten and Séan Kæśek, the traditionalist-conservative “Old Right” composed mainly of local Æonarans (especially United Empire Loyalists), and the [[Restarkism|Restarkist]]-influenced [[United Allegiance Society]]. | ||

Relations were particularly strong between the Remnant and its South Cronan neighbours, such as [[the Cape]] and [[Paulastra]] (with which it shared a common Coscivian heritage) and the strongly anti-communist Arcerion. Great care was also taken to maintain good relations with preëminent world powers [[Urcea]] and [[Caphiria]]. | Relations were particularly strong between the Remnant and its South Cronan neighbours, such as [[the Cape]] and [[Paulastra]] (with which it shared a common Coscivian heritage) and the strongly anti-communist Arcerion and [[Alstin]].

The Remnant made {{wp|anti-communism}} a core plank of its political rhetoric and foreign policy, and as such took a hostile stance towards revolutionary socialist governments in [[Carna]], [[Kloistan]], and elsewhere. | The Remnant made {{wp|anti-communism}} a core plank of its political rhetoric and foreign policy, and as such took a hostile stance towards revolutionary socialist governments in [[Carna]], [[Kloistan]], and elsewhere. | ||

The population of [[Sarolasta]] was mainly of mixed native Polynesian and Coscivian settler ancestry to varying degrees (see [[Sarolasta#Society_&_Culture|Demography of Sarolasta]]). To ensure political stability on those islands, the [[Sarolasta Reform Act]] was passed to allow mixed and assimilated Polynesian communities to be formally recognised as Coscivians and improve the legal status of the unassimilated native population. | The population of [[Sarolasta]] was mainly of mixed native Polynesian and Coscivian settler ancestry to varying degrees (see [[Sarolasta#Society_&_Culture|Demography of Sarolasta]]).

The preëxisting Coscivian population of the Free Area was mainly Æonaran and Umcaran (in Æonara), [[Kir people|Kir]] (throughout the island colonies and Cusinaut), Èusan (in Èusa), and Suderavian (in Sudaravia) with many [[Austral Coscivians]] in Saxalin and Krasoa. The emigré population was much more diverse: Although Kir people accounted for a plurality, a great many Farravonian Coscivians, [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Ensciryan Coscivians]], [[ | The preëxisting Coscivian population of the Free Area was mainly Æonaran and Umcaran (in Æonara), [[Kir people|Kir]] (throughout the island colonies and Cusinaut), Èusan (in Èusa), and Suderavian (in Sudaravia) with many [[Austral Coscivians]] in Saxalin and Krasoa. The emigré population was much more diverse: Although Kir people accounted for a plurality, a great many Farravonian Coscivians, [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Ensciryan Coscivians]], [[Eshavian Coscivians]], and a smattering of smaller groups fled to the Remnant as well. South Coscivians and Kalverþan Coscivians fleeing the Kiravian Union mostly relocated to Caphiria and [[Cartadania]]. In Æonara the "Mainlanders" came to form a distinct social group, settling mainly in the [[Sirana|Sirana metropolitan area]] or the ''[[Æonara#Geography|lúaśad]]'' uplands and using Kiravic or West Coast Marine Coscivian as their main languages for social interaction. | ||
There was a considerable Muslim contingent within the military evacuee and emigrant communities, as most Muslim communities in Great Kirav were strong opponents of Kirosocialism and many were members of/fighters for the Renaissance Party or its Islamic auxiliary. Krasoa and Sarolasta had significant preëxisting Muslim communities. | There was a considerable Muslim contingent within the military evacuee and emigrant communities, as most Muslim communities in Great Kirav were strong opponents of Kirosocialism and many were members of/fighters for the Renaissance Party or its Islamic auxiliary.

The Kiravian | The Kiravian Remnant had a capitalist economy, albeit with a high degree of state involvement in economic planning and considerable state-corporate collusion. Most industrial growth was concentrated in [[Æonara]] and [[Rovaīon]]. | ||
The economic development of the Remnant territories was made possible by massive {{wp|capital flight}} from the Kiravian Mainland to [[banking in Caphiria|banks in Caphiria]], [[Pribraltar]], and the Remnant itself. The Federalist government approached economic development in its remaining lands as a {{wp|greenfield project}} into which fugitive capital could be put directly towards the development of new and profitable industries. Captains of Kiravian industry, finance, and government planning closely studied the state-led industrialisation and development of the neighbouring [[the Cape|Cape]] as a model, and emulated it in many respects, especially as regards the manufacturing sector, but also retained the more open-market institutional legacy of the prewar Kiravian Fedaracy which it had inherited. | |||
