Because many of the CNC's key policy positions concern issues of strictly federal competency (foreign policy, immigration, international trade), the member parties of the caucus tend to perform much better in federal elections than in state elections. For example, in the 21206 elections in the state of [[Hiterna]], the Civic Order Party (a CNC affiliate) won two out of three Hiternan seats in the Stanora, but only 10 out of 50 seats in the state legislature. | Because many of the CNC's key policy positions concern issues of strictly federal competency (foreign policy, immigration, international trade), the member parties of the caucus tend to perform much better in federal elections than in state elections.

Traditionally, the caucus' strongest voter base has been | ===Class and Location=== | ||
Traditionally, the caucus' strongest voter base has been working- and lower middle-class men of Coscivian ethnic background living in [[Three Kiravs Theory|"Second Kirav"]] (generally defined as industrialised areas of Great Kirav posting slower economic growth than major coastal metropolitan areas but faster than stagnating and largely rural "Third Kirav"), particularly struggling industrial cities and {{wp|monotowns}} impacted by trade liberalisation. The CNC also draws support from voters of a similar profile living in the "outer boroughs" of growing coastal cities, and from certain Coscivian subgroups in rural areas (see below). However, the caucus' pursuit of lower energy prices, stronger law enforcement, and resistence to Occidental culture attract some interest from higher up in the urban and inner-suburban middle classes. People with occupational backgrounds in defence and law enforcement also have above-average rates of support for CNC candidates. | |||
As one might expect, declared CNC candidates in Great Kirav poll very poorly among non-Coscivian minorities, | ===Ethno-social Groups=== | ||
From its beginning, the Congress and its predecessors have worked consistently to organise among Coscivian subgroups with lower {{wp|ascribed status}} - such as those with origins as disadvantaged occupational {{wp|castes}} in traditional lowland village economies - and to advocate for their social development. | |||
In ethnic terms, Antaric Coscivian and Eastern Coscivian groups tend to turn out the most for the CNC, as do the Kikik Coscivians and Izovi Coscivians. Coscivian returnees from territories lost by Kiravia, such as the Wintergen Coscivians of [[Cities of Kiravia#Svéntren|Svéntren Refugee Camp]] are also strongly attracted to the CNC's irredentist positions. | |||
As one might expect, declared CNC candidates in Great Kirav poll very poorly among non-Coscivian minorities, especially Celtic-Kiravians and Adsikuryans, among whom support for CNC candidates in statewide elections rarely breaks 5%. This is less true in the Kindreds-Polynesian overseas territories, where regional chapters of the [[Island Nation Party]] reliably attract visible (albeit minority) support from Austronesian and Lusonic citizens. | |||
Strong defence and foreign policy stances have made the CNC extremely popular in Kiravia's overseas possessions in [[Ixnay]]: The CNC-affiliated United State Party holds 19 out of 30 seats in the Crimea State Assembly, and 15 out of 40 seats in the Xelphian Congress. It is also well-supported in the oil-rich colonies of [[Arôgia]] and [[Vortisia]]. | Strong defence and foreign policy stances have made the CNC extremely popular in Kiravia's overseas possessions in [[Ixnay]]: The CNC-affiliated United State Party holds 19 out of 30 seats in the Crimea State Assembly, and 15 out of 40 seats in the Xelphian Congress.
