===Kirosocialism===

[[File:Soviet-Era Hammer-and-Sickle on Bridge - Kharkiv (Kharkov) - Ukraine (44001551492).jpg|thumb|It took way too long to find this picture.]]

During the early 20th century AD, socialist movements that had taken root in Great Kirav in response to the poor conditions of the labouring classes spread to Sydona. Here the socialist message was more warmly received among the large Sydonan mineral and industrial workforce, in contrast to other Kiravian colonies, which tended to be more agrarian and commercial.

===Reintegration===

In the modern constitutional context of thematic federalism, Sydona belongs to the {{wp|Kiravian Federalism#Themes|Sydonan Theme}}. The Sydonan Theme is a ''unitary theme''(comprising only one federal subject) as well as a ''special theme'' (having devolved authority to in certain matters normally within federal competence). In practical terms, this means that Sydona has significant latitude to set its own policies with regard to migration, customs, and interstate commerce, above and beyond the considerable rights reserved to regular Kiravian states. The Government of Sydona has actively exercised its autonomy in these areas, and presently maintains a separate migration and customs régime from other parts of the Federacy, as well as numerous intrastate trade barriers and its own currency, the Sydonan dram. Sydona was accorded this special status along with the [[Melian Isles]] during the Federalist Restoration in the 21180s due to political and strategic considerations at the time (''see [[Sydona#Reintegration|§Reintegration]] above''), and retains them in recognition of its geographic isolation, unique ethnic and cultural makeup, and divergent development path. Nonetheless, Sydona has voluntarily taken significant steps since the 21180s toward closer integration with the rest of the Kiravian Federacy, in tandem with the gradual liberalisation of its domestic economy and institutional setup.

===Ethnic groups===

Main social groups:  

**'''Čuvidins''' - Thrakoslavic Sunni Muslims

*'''Coscivians''', including:

**'''Austral Coscivians''' or '''Deep South Coscivians''' - Social amalgamation of Coscivised Pelians and long-settled multigenerational Coscivian-Kiravian colonists.

**'''Black Coscivians''' - Resettled evacuees from Kiravian trading posts in [[Punth]] expelled during the course of the [[Kiro-Burgundian Wars]]. Mostly found in the Destransar metropolitan area and urban-type settlements in North Sydona.

===Language===

===Religion===

<!-- Catholicism (Latin, Coscivian, and [[Caphiric Catholicism|Caphiric]]), Shi'a Islam (Rumeli, [[Shapirism|Shapiri]], Twelver), Sunni Islam (need to decide on sects) -->

Smaller subsets of the Christian population adhere to [[Audonian Christianity|Audonian churches]], Coscivian Orthodoxy, and [[Kiravian Sectarians|minor Kiravian sects]]. Patrajan Christianity has a small presence in Sydona, mostly in Resava and Destransar, with some parishes on Teğer as well. Protestanism is represented mainly by Neo-Protestants and Pentecostals, and is concentrated heavily among the archipelago's itinerant communities.  

===Sports===

{{wp|Association football}} (Austral Coscivian: ''kʊʉrat'', from Arabic ''kura'' "ball") is the second most popular sport in Sydona, in stark contrast to the rest of the Kiravian Federacy, where it receives little attention. The Sydona Islands are represented by their own national team in international competitions, separate from the notoriously irrelevant [[Kirav national soccer team|Kiravian national team]]. Although the Sydonan national team outperforms its Kiravian counterpart, it is still not particularly successful in tournament play. Soccer is generally played during the antipodean spring and summer in Sydona, coinciding with the fall/winter regular season for fieldball in Great Kirav, though it is evolving into a more year-round sport. The Austral Coscivian language has its own distinct vocabulary relating to soccer, much of which is locally coined or borrowed from Continental Ixnayan languages, unlike Kiravic Coscivian which has mostly borrowed or calqued its soccer terminology from Levantine or wider international usage.

Sydona has its own currency, the Sydonan dram. The [[Saar|Kiravian saar]] is widely circulated and commonly accepted by local merchants. However, the Sydonan government only accepts tax and fee payments in drams, and similarly pays out pensions and welfare transfers (upon which a large share of the population rely) in drams.
