===Foreign & Colonial Policy===
In foreign affairs, the Party generally held to [[insularism]], officially seeking geostrategic nonalignment, armed neutrality, and non-interventionism, while resisting [[Occidental]] imperialism and maximising {{wp|autarky}}. The Kiravian Union had friendly relations with other socialist states and left-wing governments, and routinely used Marxist terminology and socialist rhetoric in its diplomatic statements. However, its commitment to {{wp|world communism}} and the international socialist movement was decidedly more in word than in deed.

The Party's attitude toward the colonies was more or less indifferent, manifesting itself in a government policy of {{wp|salutary neglect}}. The Party was unpopular in most overseas regions under Kiravian rule, and Kirosocialist ideology was imposed much more lightly in such regions to avoid stoking separatist or counterrevolutionary sentiment. One major exception was [[Sydona]], where the local party chapter was quite popular and remains a major force in state politics to the present day.  
Most overseas regions of the Kiravian Federacy would remain under the rule of the [[Kiravian Remnant]], and while Kirsok declared the "socialist emancipation of all Kiravian and Coscivian workers worldwide" as part of its mission, it considered the Kiravian colonial empire a capitalist undertaking incompatible with socialism. Its military expeditions against Kiravian overseas regions were aimed at eliminating threats to the mainland form Federalist forces there, and territorial claims to Remnant-held territories were maintained mainly as a legal pretext to justify kinetic actions by the Union against the Remnant in such places. Nonetheless, the Party maintained a Regional Committee-in-exile for the Burgundie-occupied island of [[Wintergen]], and the Party-sanctioned Union of Socialist Mountaineers and Polar Navigators made some efforts to establish territorial claims in the ungoverned polar regions.
 
[[Sydona]], which saw its own local socialist revolution, was part of the Kiravian Union, and was ruled by a regional party committee. Due to the size, economic importance, and sheer geographic distance of Sydona, the Sydona Regional Committee was afforded a much degree of autonomy from the Central Committee and was allowed to style itself the Socialist Party *in* Sydona (rather than *of* Sydona).
