The '''Great Kirav Independence Party''' ([[Kiravic]]: ''Plaiduv Viutikordh Ambrikiravsk'') is a minor Kiravian political party that advocates the secession of [[Great Kirav]] and its constituent provinces from the [[Kiravian Federacy]] and [[Kiravian Collectivity|Collectivity]]. Great Kirav is the {{wp|metropole}} of these entities, however, GKIP maintains that the post-reunification constitutional and political framework disadvantages the mainland provinces for the benefit of the overseas provinces, and threatens to make Great Kirav effectively "a colony of its colonies". The Party is supportive of downsizing the Kiravian overseas network by gradually relinquishing KF control of such possessions, but ultimately believes that removing Great Kirav itself from the Federacy is a more feasible strategy given the structure of the KF constitution and foreseeable political conditions. | The '''Great Kirav Independence Party''' ([[Kiravic]]: ''Plaiduv Viutikordh Ambrikiravsk'') is a minor Kiravian political party that advocates the secession of [[Great Kirav]] and its constituent provinces from the [[Kiravian Federacy]] and [[Kiravian Collectivity|Collectivity]].

*This state of affairs was engineered by a concert of narrow élite interests - the {{wp|military-industrial complex}}, [[Renaissance Party]] nomenklatura, certain business entities, and the bureaucratic corps - who seek to preserve and expand it for their own benefit. | *This state of affairs was engineered by a concert of narrow élite interests - the {{wp|military-industrial complex}}, [[Renaissance Party]] nomenklatura, certain business entities, and the bureaucratic corps - who seek to preserve and expand it for their own benefit. | ||

GKIP claims that the financial burden of the defence spending and other government expenditure required for the upkeep of the overseas provinces is excessive and not justifiable by any modern, democratic standard of the {{wp|public interest}}, and also that this burden is borne mostly by the mainland. It also claims that the diversion of tax revenues and government spending toward sustaining the empire retards the development of the lower-income mainland provinces. | |||
The left-right spectrum does not enjoy wide currency in Kiravia, but Occidental observers of Kiravian politics generally categorise GKIP as a centre-left party for historical reasons: The party grew out of the movement against Kiravian reunification, the base of which was homogeneously left-wing in opposition to the majority right-wing [[National Reunification Front]] coming to power on the Mainland. The founders of GKIP all had some level of background in the Kirosocialist movement, though the party itself is not Kiravian Union restorationist. The party does not subscribe to any particular fiscal-economic ideology, and notes that it includes both {{wp|economic liberalism|liberals}} and {{wp|protectionism|protectionists}} in its organisation. | The left-right spectrum does not enjoy wide currency in Kiravia, but Occidental observers of Kiravian politics generally categorise GKIP as a centre-left party for historical reasons: The party grew out of the movement against Kiravian reunification, the base of which was homogeneously left-wing in opposition to the majority right-wing [[National Reunification Front]] coming to power on the Mainland.

===Exit Strategy=== | |||
As of its 2007 manifesto, GKIP's vision for Great Kirav's separation from the Kiravian Federacy follows a model dubbed "Paulastrafication" (''Pávlastrasoiktor''), referencing the peaceful and amicable manner in which [[Paulastra]] became independent from Kiravian colonial rule. Whereas Paulastra erected its own monarchy while recognising the symbolic authority of the [[Marble Emperor]], the GKIP envisions a Republic of Kirav as a federative {{wp|crowned republic}} with the Emperor as its direct head-of-state. | |||
== Activities == | |||
GKIP actively campaigns for the ejection of [[Sydona]] from the Kiravian Collectivity. In the words of former spokesman Werner Wienerson, "Sydona proves our entire case. The fact that families in [[Elegia]] have to pay to subsidise the basket-case economy of a country on the ass-end of the world full of Slavs and Phrygians just because some Kiravian crusaders retired there 800 years ago tells you everything about who's really in charge." | |||
During the 2034 Canespa Crisis, party chief Ahmet Longoślonguv appeared on the AM radio show ''I Got Court'' to highlight the inefficiency of the pluricontinental federacy, asking "Say that there were a full ground invasion of [[Porfíria]] tomorrow. Forget Great Kirav - how are the ''Porfírians'' better off relying on our scattered, overextended military assets for their defence? Wouldn't they be safer joining the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|NSTA]]?" | |||
