Knassania (Coscivian: Knassan) is a Kiravian state located in deep inland Great Kirav. Occupying a large drainage basin near the convergence of several major watercourses, Knassania has a landscape dominated by forested swampland and bogs. Due to its inaccessible terrain and the presence of endemic malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases, Knassania has long been a backwater and frontier region at the fringes of various historic polities, and has been used as a place of refuge for peoples displaced from more hospitable regions of the island continent, contributing to its present ethnic and cultural diversity.

Knassania remains an underdeveloped state firmly within the scope of Third Kirav, with slow economic growth and low standards of living even in comparison to other inland provinces. Nonetheless, it is known for its rich culture and for the traditional lifestyles still practised by most of its residents today.

Politics and Governance

In the context of Kiravian federalism, Knassania holds the status of an ‘inner state’ (Kiravic: yréaırka). It was conferred statehood in 20772 and is included in the Federacy and the Federation.

The Fundamental Statute of Knassania is the state’s written constitution. The present Fundamental Statute was framed in 21187, replacing (de jure) the original Fundamental Statute framed in 20772 and (de facto) the Kirosocialist Basic Law of Knassania Region. The Fundamental Statute establishes a crowned republic under the Marble Emperor, with a plural executive, unicameral legislature, regulative branch, and independent judiciary.

The Executive College is the state’s highest executive body. It comprises three independent executive officers - the Governor (chosen by qualified direct election), the Chief Executive, and the Chancellor (chosen by direct election) - as well as cabinet secretaries appointed by the Chief Executive.

The Ārkaxēmbra or “State Assembly” is the state’s legislature.

Society and Culture

Knassania is culturally diverse, reflecting its history at the fringe of various states and empires and as a haven for refugees and expellees from other regions. Some such peoples are Urom tribes, who together form the state’s largest non-Coscivian minority. The established peoples of Knassania, both Coscivians and Urom alike, have developed traditional lifestyles adapted to the often inhospitable conditions in the region, which remain well-preserved due to their isolation from wider economic and social networks.

Ethnicity

The Fever Swamp Coscivians are a group of sixteen clans traditionally inhabiting the northern and central Knassanian wetlands, though their population is now more widespread. The Fever Swamp Coscivian speak a Kapushitic language related (however remotely) to South Coscivian and Serradan.

The Pine Swamp Coscivians are a group of X clans traditionally inhabiting the more marginal (but less malarial) forested fenlands. Their language belongs to the Heronic branch of Trans-Kiravian.

Kir people make up around 12% of the population and are mainly urban.

The non-Coscivian, non-Urom population of Knassania is small, largely Celtic, and concentrated mainly in the major cities.

Education

Knassania State University is one of the worst-ranked public flagship universities in the country in terms of academic performance and research output, but one of the top-ranked in several sports, including sampakuv and wife-carrying.
