The Sunderance would change the relationship between Porfíria and Netansett: As the Remnant found itself in a weakened strategic position and could ill afford trouble on its far-flung frontiers, Netansett took this opportunity to posture itself against the Kiravian Remnant militarily and diplomatically and press for renegotiation of the {{wp|Unequal treaty|unequal treaties}} to which it had been subjected. The Kæśek government conceded to the Netanic pressure and agreed to a more equal settlement of affairs with Netansett in 1940. | The Sunderance would change the relationship between Porfíria and Netansett: As the Remnant found itself in a weakened strategic position and could ill afford trouble on its far-flung frontiers, Netansett took this opportunity to posture itself against the Kiravian Remnant militarily and diplomatically and press for renegotiation of the {{wp|Unequal treaty|unequal treaties}} to which it had been subjected.

Porfíria's population growth would be supplemented during the Civil War and Sunderance by anti-communist emigrés from the [[Kiravian Union]]. Primary sources indicate that many emigrés chose to settle in Porfíria because they found the climate there to be more agreeable than that of tropical [[Æonara]]. | |||

Building on a strong foundation in the primary sector - including agriculture, mining, and the harvesting of timber and fish, the modern Porfírian economy has grown and diversified considerably since the Sunderance to encompass such sectors as manufacturing, transportation, resource processing, and the service sector, the lattermost of which accounts for 58% of the region's combined {{wp|gross domestic product|GDP}}. | ||

During [[the Sunderance]], Porfíria experienced a manufacturing boom. The loss of the Kiravian Mainland forced the relocation of many strategic {{wp|heavy industry|heavy industrial works}}, and Porfíria, with its abundance of raw materials, would become the destination for many. Industrial growth was most heavily concentrated in [[Cities of Kiravia#Krivôrok|Krivôrok]], where [[Tredagon Arms Factory]] opened a large munitions plant. Many such factories shut down in the decades following Kiravian Reunification, but some have remained, albeit with considerably reduced workforces. | During [[Kiravian Sunderance|the Sunderance]], Porfíria experienced a manufacturing boom.

Porfíria is said<sup>[by whom? {{wp|Helen Keller}}?]</sup> to have breathtaking natural scenery, an agreeable climate (by [[Kiroborea|Kiroboreal]] standards), and many opportunities for hunting and fishing, which promise (or at least, offer) to make it a suitable destination for those interested in {{wp|Outdoor Recreation Party|outdoor recreation}}. However, the great distance between Porfíria and other regions of the Federacy make travel expenses a limiting factor on domestic tourism and leave tourism revenues vulnerable to fluctuations in the price of air fare. In recent years, provincial growth ministries and chambers of commerce have mounted efforts to market the Porfírian colonies as a leisure travel destination in [[Alstin]] and [[Daxia]]. | ||

The [[Coscivian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Crona|Coscivian Catholic Church]] and [[Insular Apostolic Church]] are the largest religious bodies in Porfíria. Christian congregations and religious orders played an important role in the settlement of Avenirskara in particular, and in relations between Kiravian settlers and native Cronite peoples.

There is a significant minority Latin Catholic presence found mainly in the Archangel Valley and among indigenous peoples and Levantine-Kiravian enclaves. Christian religious orders are important providers of education and social services in Porfíria; a legacy of its history as a frontier region where missionary and ecclesiastical institutions usually established themselves in a local area well before the effective extension of civil authority. | ||
Several thousand members of [[Abrigalasts|Abrigalast sects]] live in Porfíria. Most Porfírian Abrigalast communities descend (both historically and, for the most part, genetically) from two parties of Abrigalast immigrants that arrived during the early colonial period; the first in 1665 from [[Serikorda]] and the second in 1734 from [[Suderavia]]. Eager to avoid government influence due to the {{wp|Christian anarchism|Christian anarchist}} elements of their creed, Abrigalast pioneers were often at (if not ahead of) the vanguard of official Kiravian colonisation. There are around 30 Abrigalast [[Settlement_Movement#Models|coöperative settlements]] in the Porfírian colonies and possibly a similar number of congregations without an associated coöperative. However, the Abrigalast population is difficult to enumerate because most refuse to respond to the [[Kiravian Census]] and hundreds may live {{wp|off the grid|off-the-grid}} in remote areas. | Several thousand members of [[Abrigalasts|Abrigalast sects]] live in Porfíria.

The pre-colonial religious practices of the indigenous peoples of Porfíria fall under the umbrella of [[M'acunism]]. Only 20-30% of indigenous Porfírians identify M'acunism as their confession today, with the majority having converted to Christianity. However, extensive syncretism between M'acunistic and Christian spirituality is documented in indigenous communities. | |||
