The practice of registering families and keeping written genealogical records has deep roots in Kiravian history. The proto-totalitarian [[Verticalism|Verticalist]] system of the First Empire required detailed and current demographic data on village work units to inform the labour planning and population transfers that underpinned its command economy, although these records were quantitative and anonymous in nature. | The practice of registering families and keeping written genealogical records has deep roots in Kiravian history. Like most traditional cultures, ancient Coscivians maintained {{wp|oral history|oral histories}} of ancestral lineages. The proto-totalitarian [[Verticalism|Verticalist]] system of the First Empire required detailed and current demographic data on village work units to inform the labour planning and population transfers that underpinned its command economy, although these records were quantitative and anonymous in nature. The connexion between registration and citizenship rights is similarly quite old, with Coscivian polities from the Second Empire on maintaining ledgers of their fully-enfranchised citizens and their households. | ||
The current system of household registration was first introduced in the late 19th century AD in Northeast Kirav. Rapidly urbanising states like [[Fariva]], [[Harma]], [[Bissáv]], and subsequently the [[Kiygrava]] were the first to encounter the need to maintain centralised registries of family units. Previously (and still), records similar to the civil ''thramdastraterion'' were maintained by churches, ancestral shrines, and cemeteries. The system was gradually adopted by more and more jurisdictions across Great Kirav as modernisation progressed. | The current system of household registration was first introduced in the late 19th century AD in Northeast Kirav.
