The liberal-conservative, pro-business URP represents the interests of the multi-ethnic "mass upper class", business owners of all sizes, and certain ethnic blocs, such as Likútan Coscivians.

Its support is strongest in the monied suburbs of the Greater Valēka metropolitan area. The Popular Party draws support from a broad cross-section of Niyaskan society, but its base is concentrated among Paisonic Coscivians (the state's largest ethnic group), Lusan Coscivians, and Catholics in the middle and upper-working classes. The Democratic Party draws its votes mainly from the working class and from the state's large industrial cities. The Niyaskan Whig base consists of middle class suburbanites of various backgrounds, farmers, many Æran Coscivians in South Niyaska, Niyaskan Kir, and members of the police, fire, and military services. | ||
Perennial issues in Niyaskan politics include public housing, the state's high rates of taxation, pervasive corruption at all levels of government, and organised crime. | Perennial issues in Niyaskan politics include public housing, the state's high rates of taxation, pervasive corruption at all levels of government, and organised crime. | ||

The largest Coscivian ethnosocial groups are the | The largest Coscivian ethnosocial groups are the Paisonic Coscivians (and their various subgroups, particularly Síkutrans) and Ærans, who together account for around 40% of the state's population. Both groups are present in large numbers throughout the state, with the Paisonics being slightly more prominent in eastern and northern Niyaska and the Ærans being slightly more prominent in western and southern Niyaska. Every countyship has either a Paisonic or an Æran plurality. | ||
In addition to the | In addition to the Paisonic Coscivians and Ærans, other Coscivian ethnic groups strongly associated with the mass immigration of the Great Crossing Era have substantial populations in Niyaska. Vilamem and Kaśuvem have a vibrant presence in County Metuśen, which is also home to one of the largest Lusem populations on the eastern seaboard. Helskem immigrants, who are present throughout the state in small numbers, are credited with establishing the first "Niyaska eateries" (see below), and Helskem familiescontinue to own and operate most of them to this day. | ||
Descendants of the older pre-Great Crossing Coscivian-Niyaskans, most of whom are of [[Taństem Coscivian|Taństem]], Kaltem, Sedhem, and Erasem ancestry, play a very minor rôle in contemporary Niyaskan culture. Identifiable communities of Old Niyaskans are found in a few rural pockets of South Niyaska and a rapidly shrinking rural corridor in County Manôt. The "Hill people", a mestiço group descended from Upland Tapkek aboriginals and various groups of early Coscivian immigrants, live a rural lifestyle in the upland areas of North Niyaska. | Descendants of the older pre-Great Crossing Coscivian-Niyaskans, most of whom are of [[Taństem Coscivian|Taństem]], Kaltem, Sedhem, and Erasem ancestry, play a very minor rôle in contemporary Niyaskan culture.

Niyaska is known as the birthplace of the "eatery" (Kiravic: ''ɣēmitōrum''), a type of restaurant similar to an American diner or British roadhouse and often found along major roadways. The first eateries were established by Helskan Coscivian immigrants in the 21XXXs and offered extensive menus featuring traditional Kiravian breakfast fare, lunch staples and sandwiches, and some Helskan dishes. Today, Niyaskan eateries are the best place to experience distinctively Niyaskan foods and the Niyaskan take on more general Kiravian foods. | Niyaska is known as the birthplace of the "eatery" (Kiravic: ''ɣēmitōrum''), a type of restaurant similar to an American diner or British roadhouse and often found along major roadways.
