More minor parties include the Christian Democratic Party, the ecologist Mountain Party, the Gaelic People's Party, and the Justicialist Party. The '''[[Levantian Union Party|Levantian Union Party]]''' is especially active in Suderavia, as it is the Kiravian state with the strongest connexion to the Levantian mainland and the largest ethnic Levantine population by percentage. Though it has yet to gain sufficient electoral traction to win seats, the LUP is gaining interest among voters with proposals to fashion Suderavia into a {{wp|special economic zone}} and {{wp|customs area}} that might serve as an economic and political bridge between the Kiravian Federacy and the [[Levantine Union]] and bring economic growth to the island in the process. | More minor parties include the Christian Democratic Party, the ecologist Mountain Party, the Gaelic People's Party, and the Justicialist Party.

===Sithanawite Institutions=== | |||
The Skithanawite community has its own institutions, which are recognised by state law. The King of the Skithanawites (referred to in state laws as Chief of the Skithanawites, a point of contention) is the hereditary head of these institutions. There is an elected advisory Skithanawite Parliament, as well as a Skithanawite Privy Council which acts as the executive branch for most purposes, though the King continues to exercise many powers personally. The Skithanawite community funds Skithanawite-language schools, libraries, and language revitalisation programmes, the Skithanawite Conclavist Catholic Church, development and social assistance programmes, and other services. The Privy Council administers the Skithanawite Trust Lands, which are owned by the King for the exclusive residential, economic, and cultural use of Skithanawites, and the community is in a decades-long negotiation with the state government and federal attorneys over the demarcation of an autonomous Skithanawite Crown Autonomy within Suderavia. There is a continuing legal debate as to whether the status of the Skithanawite Crown under the Suderavian Constitution violates the Kiravian Fundamental Statute's requirement that states have a republican form of government, and this is a sticking point in discussions about greater autonomy in the future. | |||
