The '''Federal Districts Commercial Control Acts''' were a series of Kiravian federal (and confederal) legislation enacted for the purpose of restricting commercial activity in the nation's two [[Federal subjects of Kiravia#Federal districts|federal districts]], the [[District of Coīnvra] and the [[Interlake District]]. | The '''Federal Districts Commercial Control Acts''' were a series of Kiravian federal (and confederal) legislation enacted for the purpose of restricting commercial activity in the nation's two [[Federal subjects of Kiravia#Federal districts|federal districts]], the [[District of Coīnvra] and the [[Interlake District]]. | ||
The selection of [[Kartika]] (then merely a medium-sized town) as the federal capital of Kiravia and the demarcation of the lands surrounding it as a federal district separate from any state and subordinate directly to the Stanora was an uncontroversial agreement that was believed to balance the interests of more northerly and southerly parts of the new federation and ensure the capital city's political neutrality. However, as the size of the [federal or confederal? probably federal but not sure] government and the scope of its power expanded and Kartika began to grow into a proper city along with it, concerns arose that Kartika would eventually become a {{wp|primate city}} and the country's premier economic centre, eclipsing the other major cities at the time, | The selection of [[Kartika]] (then merely a medium-sized town) as the federal capital of Kiravia and the demarcation of the lands surrounding it as a federal district separate from any state and subordinate directly to the Stanora was an uncontroversial agreement that was believed to balance the interests of more northerly and southerly parts of the new federation and ensure the capital city's political neutrality.

The states abutting the Disctict of Coīnvra - [[Hanoram]] and [[Ventarya]] - feared that merchants from their states would relocated to the capital district and deprive them of tax revenue. More principled concerns were raised in the newspapers of the day that the emergence of Kartika as a "new Era" would lead to harmful political centralisation and even - in more impassioned letters - the end of the Republic and a return to [[Verticalism]]. | ||
The first Act, the District of Coīnvra Commerce Control Act, forbade merchants operating from the District from engaging in international trade and from selling goods to customers in the states or to Aboriginal tribes. Merchants already trading from the district under existing licenses could continue to operate in the town of Éamonsar and the parish of Arþodun, subject to taxation and regulation by Hanoram (in Éamonsar) and Ventarya (in Arþodun). | The first Act, the District of Coīnvra Commerce Control Act, forbade merchants operating from the District from engaging in international trade and from selling goods to customers in the states or to Aboriginal tribes.
