Southern Coscivians are known for their unique cultural traits that distinguish them from the other regional cultures of Great Kirav and from the "mainstream" national culture of Kiravia at-large, especially their time-honoured and complex codes of civility, context-rich sense of social hierarchy, rich cuisine, and much beloved musical tradition. | Southern Coscivians are known for their unique cultural traits that distinguish them from the other regional cultures of Great Kirav and from the "mainstream" national culture of Kiravia at-large, especially their time-honoured and complex codes of civility, context-rich sense of social hierarchy, rich cuisine, and much beloved musical tradition. | ||

South Kirav is home to a large number of ancestral shrines, each of which is associated with a particular lineage. These shrines originated as graveyards with chapels on site, but have grown over the centuries into large complexes containing numerous tombs and ossuaries. Most Southerners will travel to their ancestral shrine a few times each year to honour their ancestors with burnt offerings and libations. | ||

South Coscivians have strong {{wp|traditionalism|traditionalist}} and {{wp|agrarianism|agrarian}} leanings in politics. On the state level, their general attitude of deference to authority and strong preference for stability and continuity have led to the establishment of {{wp|dominant party state|dominant-party systems}} under the rule of parties affiliated with the Southern Green-Right conference.

Millions of South Coscivians or people of South Coscivian descent live outside of the modern territorial theme of [[South Kirav]], both in other parts of the Kiravian Federacy and abroad. The largest and most notable overseas population of South Coscivians is found in [[Caphiria]]. Most established families of the Coscivian minority in Caphiria trace their ancestry to South Kirav or the Baylands, a fact that is reflected in their home language, cuisine, music, and customs. | |||
After the Kiravian Civil War, during which South Coscivians had overwhelmingly thrown in with the defeated anti-communist side, many South Coscivians fled the Kiravian Mainland. The largest share of these emigrants settled in Caphiria, where many already had relatives. Others relocated to [[Kiravian Remnant|the remaining Federalist-held colonies]] in Æonara and Sarolasta, or to other South Cronan countries, such as Paulastra and Tierrador. Smaller numbers of Catholic Southerners resettled in Urcea and the Levantine mainland, while a few Muslim Southerners took refuge in [[Rumelistan]] and other Muslim-majority states. | |||
