Politically, the Krasoa Islands comprise eight Kiravian provinces: the overseas states of Aventurine Bay, Eastion, Island №5, the Krasoa Colony, and South Krasoa, and the overseas territories of Island №3, Nív-Martain, and the Palmetto Coast. These provinces belong to the [[Kiravian federalism#Themes|theme]] of the [[Overseas Regions]]. | |||
The Krasoan provinces jointly operate certain government agencies established by {{wp|Interstate compact|interprovincial compact}} to serve the entire region, such as the Krasoa Port Authority (responsible for seaport and riverine port infrastructure and key ferry terminals), and the [[Territorial Defence Forces|Territorial Defence of the Krasoa Islands]], which serves {{wp|military reserve|army reserve}}, {{wp|civil defence}}, and {{wp|coast guard}} functions. The Territorial Defence Force notably includes a Defence Motorways Patrol, which provides roadside assistance to motorists with disabled vehicles.<ref>Manned by reservists, the Defence Motorways Patrol was created during [time of international tension], when there were credible fears of war with Pelaxia and Governor Ɣrampianus Risson ordered that reservists be stationed at rural roadway intersections to provide visual confirmation of the passability of the roads in case of bombing and be ready to clear the roads of civilian traffic quickly should the roads be needed by military vehicles. Today, the DMP functions mainly as a highway safety patrol offering roadside assistance to motorists, removing {{wp|roadkill}}, and supporting first responders in handling roadway emergencies.</ref> | |||

The marital laws of the Krasoan provinces all uphold the doctrine of ''[[Marital and family law in Kiravia|marital fusion]]'', whereïn a married couple is treated as a single, unified entity for the purposes of civil law (though not criminal law). They are also among the most difficult Kiravian federal subjects in which to obtain a divorce by the Association of Kiravian Marital Attorneys, with their courts requiring high standards of proof for marital fault, mandating extensive efforts at counselling and reconciliation before beginning dissolution proceedings, and recognising none of the "loophole faults" used in some other states to approximate divorce by mutual consent (which does not exist in Kiravia) or otherwise expedite the process. | The marital laws of the Krasoan provinces all uphold the doctrine of ''[[Marital and family law in Kiravia|marital fusion]]'', whereïn a married couple is treated as a single, unified entity for the purposes of civil law (though not criminal law).

In all provinces, furries are shot on sight pursuant to an ordinance issued during the early colonial period to protect Kiravian settlements from native warriors whose {{wp|Jaguar warrior|wore animal hides and masques as their battledress}}. | |||
