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. | 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.

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 | 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 socialist or aiming to restore the Kiravian Union. 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. | ||

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. | 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.

GKIP's preferred process for independence is for each province in Great Kirav to receive "self-rule under the Emperor" in their own right, and then for these provinces to accede to the Republic of Kirav. | |||
According to Simon Ruhnama, "What the Federacy does after Great Kirav leaves is its own business", and that the Republic of Kirav should maintain "good relations but no obligations" toward a rump Federacy and/or any other post-Federacy independent states. The party rejects proposals for a looser federal/confederal structure, a supranational or intergovernmental successor to the Federacy, or relationships of free association between the Republic of Kirav and former colonies, saying that such structures would only "incubate the reëmergence of empire". Some individual party members have expressed hostility toward a "Second [[Kiravian Remnant|Remnant]]" and stated that they would prefer that former Kiravian colonies be annexed to or vassalised by friendly foreign powers if unable to survive independently. | |||
GKIP says it would "come to a transitional arrangement" with a rump Federacy allowing it to retain the [[District of Coīnvra]] for up to five years while it finds a new seat of government, provided that the Federacy cover the District's utility bills. It would expect that the Interlake Canal District be gifted to the Republic of Kirav upon independence, however. | GKIP says it would "come to a transitional arrangement" with a rump Federacy allowing it to retain the [[District of Coīnvra]] for up to five years while it finds a new seat of government, provided that the Federacy cover the District's utility bills.
