Kudravina

Kudravina (Kudravinian: 𐌺𐌿𐌳𐍂𐌰𐍆𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽𐌰, tr. "Kudravlina",) officially the People's Democratic Commonwealth of Kudravina (Kudravinian: 𐌳𐌰𐌹𐌼𐍉𐌺𐍂𐌰𐍄𐌹𐍇𐌴 𐍇𐍇𐍉𐌼𐌰𐌹𐌽𐌷𐌰𐌹𐌻𐌹𐌸𐍆𐌰 𐌺𐌿𐌳𐍂𐌰𐍆𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽𐌴, tr. Dämokratyge Gomänchäliþva Kudravline) is a nation in North-West East with approximately 994,401 square kilometres of territory spanning two timezones. The most populous of the two major administrative regions, Kudravinian Mezduslavina, borders Kus to the East, Sremia to the east, Lipnitia to the South, and Illhos to the North. The population of Kudravina is TBD (according to 2022 data), with most of its population living in highly-condensed cities such as Solovina and Volospol.

Kudravina emerged as one of the first modern bureaucratic, federal states to exist in Zemlja. Kudravina traces its roots in the early Sölovina Republic, which was established through a treaty between various Gilthian, Volosevian, and Paimen tribes. The Paimen peoples are the first to likely inhabit the region, with remains of Paimen hunters appearing as far as 2000 BI. The Sölovinians established the Hadasian Dynasty, named after the great Sycen sage and prophetess Hadasa, who unified all of Severpej and Mezduslavina into one federalized state. Kudravina reigned as one of four regulating bodies of commerce between Zemlya and Azaria until its merge with Kus in the 16th century. Following the war between Sremia and Kus, Kudravina and Illhos officially separated from Kus in 1924 under the leadership of the Worker's Party of Kudravina and the Kudravinian National Congress.

City State of Sölovina
Sölovina had emerged by the 7th century AD inbetween the regions of Paimena, Gilthland, and Völoshia as a connecting hub between agrarian farms and Lipnitian duchies to the south, Kusian city states to the west, and Sremian duchies to the East. Records of this time are scarce due to the lack of literacy; business transactions and Issian religious texts were recorded in Haliurunnian and Glagolitic, but history of the city at this time is largely unknown. According to records transcribed from Lipnitian historians, however, the city was formally established by a Völosevian tribe of the same name, known as the Sölovei tribe. Sölovina and its inhabitants were much influenced by the multicultural atmosphere of Northeast Zemlja, with modern Kudravinian identity taking substantially from most major ethnic groups inhabiting the region. These cultural and ethnic imprints shaped later the society of the later Kudravinian Empire.

The city was populated by various Slavic, Paimenic, and Gilthian Issitian and Issian tribes that begun constant war with one another for supremacy in the city, with initial reasons for the outbreak largely unknown, though often linked to gang warfare from poverty. Due to the city's political instability and constant violence, food shortages became more common over time, as well as opening prostitution markets. Women, in particular, were unable to feed their children, and in time "crop riots" arose. These riots tended to majority-female and targetted towards merchants, caravans, or civilian homes. Yet, they only tended to perpetuate the failed economy despite their desperation, with the town population sharply dropping from disease, hunger, and migration.

The tribes eventually came together during the beginning of the 9th century to try and form a negotiated settlement to end aggression between each other. According to the Lipnitian historian TBD in The Federation of Sölovina, a collection of notes detailing the history of Sölovina according to the accounts of city elders, the tribes wanted to "Seek a leader who may quell the riots and judge us according to law."

However, the crop riots continued to flare up, and tribal leaders were unable to agree on any monarch to govern the city. One woman who often found herself in leading positions at crop riots was a 26 year old mystic and sage Hadasa Baþḥleb. Hadasa's following grew exponentially among the city peasants, as her strong religious convictions for charity, abstention from prostitution and wine, and advocacy for removal tribal leaders appealed to most. Furthermore, Hadasa was from an Issitian community, who was a neutral party to the conflict. Eventually, chiefs of the tribes would nominate Hadasa as crown princess of Sölovina.

Hadassa's reforms at this time were radical for a medieval city-state. Under her name, the first coherent legal system was adopted in Sölovina, placed in the center of the city, without consulting tribal leaders. Hadassa also comissioned an extensive literacy program, where the Gilthian script, made by Issitian scribes for the sake of translating Greek scripture, was adopted. Despite these reforms showing initial success, old tribal leaders in the city Lece demanded positions of power, threatening military action against Hadasa if the new throne refused to comply. Sölovina established a modern bureaucratic system for administrative tasks where said leaders were given power to elect bureaucrats, which had pleased tribal leaders.

However, these posts were infamously prone to corruption, despite successes. At this time, however, the potential for factionalism amongst formal tribal leaders was unlikely, as Hadasa had consolidated enough power to threaten bureaucrats and tribal leaders. To respond to these corruption issues, Hadasa purged any bureaucrats with any evidence of corruption and proceeded to set up local bodies to nominate new bureaucrats, who would then be chosen meritocratically. This angered many of the old tribal leaders, but Hadasa had successfully consolidate enough power to execute or imprison them.

The next few years would keep Sölovina a prosperous city. Yet, such a rich hub of commerce would be at risk by invasions from competing city-states or bordering empires. While secretive defense treaties were signed that sealed Sölovina off from immediate attack until 961, fears lingered nonetheless. In 963, the neighbouring city state of Nova Voloshia attempted an attack against Sölovina, but, allied with tribes outside of the city, the defense succeeded, with Nova Voloshia placed under a joint occupation between Sölovina and other tribes. The Sölovina Republic continued to expand, incorporate new territorites and agrarian lands, and conquer invading armies until 988.

Following Hadasa's reforms, Sölovina became an intellectual hub of Northeastern Zemlya, establishing the Library of Sölovina in 973. This was attributed to the literacy program allowing for mystic, philosophical, and alchemical knowledge in highly mixed population to be recorded, as well as an efficient bureaucracy streamlining the recordskeeping and text-copying services. Travelers all the way from Lafeard sought copies of Sölovinian alchemic scrolls.

The state would progress to conquer the entirety of Mezduslavina and the Eastward archipelago during Hadasa's reign. However, despite the economic and political progress made during Hadasa's reign, she remained most dedicated to her role as a preacher and sage. Since 948, the mistress reported frequently seeing the angel Miḥail, and spirits of Ermis, Isa, Abraham, and Zoroaster. Every Saturday, Hadasa would give sermons in the local temple. Often, she would be found in the town square reciting poems containing religious proclamations, and, after her death, an extensive collection of religious writings, philosophical commentary, alchemic notes, and literature was discovered and published across the empire. Sölovina's legal code and constitution was explicitly religious. The state was, unofficially, a Sycenist religious polity, and, as a result, the majority of the population would associate with the Sycenist religion by Hadasa's passing according to the census of 1030.

Hadasa would leave behind three daughters as her husband, Onþeim Sobyl, ascended to the throne as emperor of Sölovina on September 19th, 1029. The month would be established as a month of mourning for Sycenists. Onþeim would commission all the works of his late wife to be chronicled into a singular text, however, Onþeim died of heart failure only nine months after Hadasa. The firstborn daughter of the late empress and emperor, Taisija Sobol-Hadasajeva, would proclaim Sycenism the official religion of the Sölovina Commonwealth.

The empire would compete with Kus in the establishment of city states across North and East Azaria with the intent to establish trade routes, missions, and military outposts.

Fallen Cross Dynasty
Modern revolutionary activity in the Kusian Empire began with the 1824 with the Fallen Cross Dynasty. The Fallen Cross Dynasty, then lead by Ĺeowír I Kržepadźarśkaj, purged the Kudravinian matriarchy from power and centralized power in the hands of the federal monarchy at expense of local Kudravinian city councils. Sales taxes rose a staggering 1200%, and taxes on grain, potato, and livestock nearly tripled. For those who could not pay dues, commonly-owned land (gomains) were extorted from peasant clans, who, as a result, migrated towards cities en masse. What resulted was one of the largest peasant exodi in history, with 60,000 peasants allocated to Ycnvoscha alone. Although serfdom was abolished in 1861, it was done on terms unfavorable to the peasants and served to encourage revolutionaries. A parliament—the State Duma—was established in 1906 after the Russian Revolution of 1905, but Tsar Nicholas II resisted attempts to move from absolute to a constitutional monarchy. Social unrest continued and was aggravated during World War I by military defeat and food shortages in major cities.

Kusian-Communist War
A spontaneous popular uprising in Petrograd, in response to the wartime decay of Russia's economy and morale, culminated in the February Revolution and the toppling of Nicholas II and the imperial government in March 1917. The tsarist autocracy was replaced by the Russian Provisional Government, which intended to conduct elections to the Russian Constituent Assembly and to continue fighting on the side of the Entente in World War I.

At the same time, workers' councils, known in Russian as "Soviets", sprang up across the country. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, pushed for socialist revolution in the Soviets and on the streets. On 7 November 1917, the Red Guards stormed the Winter Palace in Petrograd, ending the rule of the Provisional Government and leaving all political power to the Soviets. This event would later be officially known in Soviet bibliographies as the Great October Socialist Revolution. In December, the Bolsheviks signed an armistice with the Central Powers, though by February 1918, fighting had resumed. In March, the Soviets ended involvement in the war and signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

A long and bloody Civil War ensued between the Reds and the Whites, starting in 1917 and ending in 1923 with the Reds' victory. It included foreign intervention, the execution of the former tsar and his family, and the famine of 1921, which killed about five million people. In March 1921, during a related conflict with Poland, the Peace of Riga was signed, splitting disputed territories in Belarus and Ukraine between the Republic of Poland and Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia had to resolve similar conflicts with the newly established republics of Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania.

On 28 December 1922, a conference of plenipotentiary delegations from the Russian SFSR, the Transcaucasian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR and the Byelorussian SSR approved the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR and the Declaration of the Creation of the USSR, forming the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. These two documents were confirmed by the first Congress of Soviets of the USSR and signed by the heads of the delegations, Mikhail Kalinin, Mikhail Tskhakaya, Mikhail Frunze, Grigory Petrovsky, and Alexander Chervyakov, on 30 December 1922. The formal proclamation was made from the stage of the Bolshoi Theatre.

An intensive restructuring of the economy, industry and politics of the country began in the early days of Soviet power in 1917. A large part of this was done according to the Bolshevik Initial Decrees, government documents signed by Vladimir Lenin. One of the most prominent breakthroughs was the GOELRO plan, which envisioned a major restructuring of the Soviet economy based on total electrification of the country. The plan became the prototype for subsequent Five-Year Plans and was fulfilled by 1931. After the economic policy of "War communism" during the Russian Civil War, as a prelude to fully developing socialism in the country, the Soviet government permitted some private enterprise to coexist alongside nationalized industry in the 1920s, and total food requisition in the countryside was replaced by a food tax.

From its creation, the government in the Soviet Union was based on the one-party rule of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks). The stated purpose was to prevent the return of capitalist exploitation, and that the principles of democratic centralism would be the most effective in representing the people's will in a practical manner. The debate over the future of the economy provided the background for a power struggle in the years after Lenin's death in 1924. Initially, Lenin was to be replaced by a "troika" consisting of Grigory Zinoviev of the Ukrainian SSR, Lev Kamenev of the Russian SFSR, and Joseph Stalin of the Transcaucasian SFSR.

On 1 February 1924, the USSR was recognized by the United Kingdom. The same year, a Soviet Constitution was approved, legitimizing the December 1922 union.

According to Archie Brown the constitution was never an accurate guide to political reality in the USSR. For example the fact that the Party played the leading role in making and enforcing policy was not mentioned in it until 1977. The USSR was a federative entity of many constituent republics, each with its own political and administrative entities. However, the term "Soviet Russia" – strictly applicable only to the Russian Federative Socialist Republic – was often applied to the entire country by non-Soviet writers.

The modern PDCK has its roots in the Kudravinian-Illhosian revolutionary war of 1925, when the National-Communist Party of Kudravina, headed by [TBD], allied with the Federation of Illhosian Unions and allied with the Union of Socialist Republics of Sremia,, successfully broke off Kusian control of all lands East and including Mezduslavina. The KNCP gained support through the development and activity in Kudravinian trade unions, which eventually came to function as a wing of the party. During the war, the KNCP attempted to push further into Kus, but very little progress was made past Trainstiffygia, prompting the treaty of Sałau to be signed in 192(?).

Pre-2GW Cominform Era
In 192(?), the regions, named communes, of Sałau, !Gothia, !Finnia, and Židovinia were unified under a single constitution. The Kudravinian economy remained incredibly strained, having much of its agricultural and industrial land in Transicantspellthisagia gassed and bombed by the Kusian Empire. The New Industrial Policy, introduced by [TBD], promoted economic growth and development by allowing free market policies and the flourishing of workers cooperatives and other petite-bourgeois ventures to take place while economic and social were sorted out by the party congress. All guilds were nationalized under the NIP, and guild workers could elect representatives to the lower house.

By 193(?), the first economic plans were sketched out by [TBD], which, while allowing the cooperatives and petite-bourgeois shops to remain, invested shares in every approved or sizeable firm that resulted in significant state say in business decisions. As a result, this allowed Kudravina to lower taxes, as the remaining private industry became a reliable source of income.

Climate
Kudravina has a temperate climate, characterised by mild winters, with mean temperatures in January of 1.5 °C (34.7 °F), and cool summers, with a mean temperature in August of 17.2 °C (63.0 °F). The most extreme temperatures recorded in Kudravina, since 1874 when recordings began, was 36.4 °C (97.5 °F) in 1975 and −31.2 °C (−24.2 °F) in 1982. Kudravina has an average of 179 days per year with precipitation, on average receiving a total of 765 millimetres (30 in) per year; autumn is the wettest season and spring the driest. The position between a continent and an ocean means that the weather is often unstable.

Because of Kudravina's northern location, there are large seasonal variations in daylight. There are short days during the winter with sunrise coming around 8:45 am and sunset 3:45 pm (standard time), as well as long summer days with sunrise at 4:30 am and sunset at 10 pm (daylight saving time).

Biodiversity
Phytogeographically, Kudravina is shared between the Arctic, central Zemljan, and eastern Zemljan provinces of the Hyperboreal Region within the Boreal Kingdom. The territory of Kudravina can be subdivided into three ecoregions: the archipelagic taiga, mountainous mixed forests, and birch forest and grasslands in the south. Forests covers most of Kudravina from its southern regions to the north of Severpej. On the Northeastern coast, forests are characterized by mixed forests, that are more typical in Kus. In the extreme north of Kudravina, near the Daugavan Peninsula, the taiga are common. Kudravina has a 2018 Forest Landscape Integrity Index mean score of 5.08/10.

Similarly, Kudravina has a diverse and extensive range of fauna. There are at least sixty native mammalian species, 248 breeding bird species, over 70 fish species, and 11 reptile and frog species present today, many migrating from neighboring countries thousands of years ago. Large and widely recognized wildlife mammals found in Kudravina are the brown bear, various fox species, gray wolf, wolverine, and elk. The red fox, which is also nicknamed as the "beauty of the Curled Woods" by the Volosevians, is the country's official national animal. It is also the most common carnivore in Kudravina. Three of the more striking birds are the whooper swan, a large Zemlyan swan; the Western capercaillie, a large, black-plumaged member of the grouse family; and the Zemljan-Azarian eagle-owl. The latter is considered an indicator of old-growth forest connectivity, and has been declining because of landscape fragmentation. Around 24,000 species of Insects are prevalent in Kudravina, some of the most common being hornets with tribes of beetles such as the Onciderini also being common. The most common breeding birds are the willow warbler, common chaffinch, and redwing. Of some seventy species of freshwater fish, the northern pike, perch, and others are plentiful. Great Sea salmon remains the favourite of fly rod enthusiasts.

The endangered ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis), one of only three lake seal species in the world, exists only in the northern seas of Kudravina, down to only 390 seals today. The ringed seal lives nowadays mainly in two Kudravinian national parks, but strays have been seen in a much larger area, including near Sałau's town centre.

Political Divisions
Kudravina is divided into six communes with TBD major cities and TBD communes as shown in the map below.

There are six recognized nations in Kudravina: Volosevska, Glithaia, Galutia, Paimenmaa, and Vonoslovenska. According to the Kudravinian Constitution of 1932, each nation is guaranteed the power to pass laws and organize its own democratic constitution so long as it does not conflict with powers otherwise guaranteed to the PGRK. The nations have the explicit rights to manage their educational, infrastructural, and cultural programs, although the federal government can pass legislation imposing regulations and standards on them.

Political Parties
The National-Communist Party of Kudravina is the supreme political authority in the nation, by which all other parties and all branches of government are subordinate to. Independent parties are allowed to exist in Kudravina, so long as they are officially approved by the NCPK, join the ruling coalition, and abide by scientific centralism. This makes Kudravina a de facto one-party state.

Legislature
The Kudravinian government is organized into three branches of government: the Legislative, Military, and Judicial branches. The Legislature is officially titled the Prime Veche of Kudravina and is divided into two houses: a lower house, the Congress of Kudravina; and an upper house, the Senate of Kudravina. The Congress is elected every two years from industrial unions, with the number of congressmen elected proportional to the population of the communes and unions they are elected from. Members of the Congress do not have to be registered party members. The Senate of Kudravina is elected every five years, with two elected senators per commune regardless of population. Each senator must be a registered party member.

Military
The military holds a crucial role in Kudravinian government, serving the roles of the executive branch of government but also maintaining state-wide research and technology. The military does not act as a separate entity from the KNCP, and is explicitly sub-ordinate to it.

Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of Kudravina is where appeals can be made to overturn legislation that is regarded as revisionary (unconstitutional). The Supreme Court of Kudravina and the Supreme Court of the NCPK are comprised of the same members, who, by tradition, are chosen by top law schools and approved for office by party cadres on the basis of their expertise on and dedication to the Kudravinian Constitution and the current party constitution.

Foreign Relations
Kudravina has harsh relations with CSDO states, as it frequently funds nationalist-socialist and communist terrorist groups in states that do not align with LARP. Kudravina is an observer state of Bayan, a trade agreement with Maharlika and Bayangurun. Kudravina is a member state in LARP, with strong economic relations between itself, Reismov, Kus, Miladria, and Bloodia, sharing arms and technology. The state used to be a part of Cominform, but left along with Reismov in 1950, due to accusations of Sajuznik and Sremian opportunism, particularly over the Sremian occupation of that one island that's north of it.

Before joining LARP in 1994, Kudravina pushed for a military agreement between Bayan states, but this project failed namely due to geography. Kudravina continues to fund insurgent groups in Asakawa, Dongkuo, Lipnitia, Sextros, and across Majmunia.

Economic, social and cultural rights
Kudravina is a socialist economy which does not recognize private property as legal. No individual person or group is permitted to run a business upon their own accords and procure a profit for their own ends unless permitted so by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Until 1979, collective farms were the closest in resemblance to legally-recognized private property on a sizeable scale, as workers within them were given the freedom to manage funds on their own accords. Local shops, such as cafés, may manage their own affairs, but are nonetheless recognized as state property. The 1978 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kudravina guarantees various rights afforded to national groups and equality between people of different nations before the law, though in practice disparities exist nonetheless. No person of any national or religious group may be discriminated against in employment or entry to a facility, even in religious buildings. Similarly, men, women, and enarees are all afforded the same rights as each other, though matriarchal biases still persist in law in regards to custodial cases and the like.

Drug laws
While recreational use of most non-medicinal drugs as described by the 1969 Marijuana and Alcohol Act is illegal under Kudravine law, official conduct has been to tolerate most use of drugs recreationally while punishing non-recreational use. The possession of drugs is highly regulated; private trade, distribution, or simply carrying a high amount of a drug is fully illegal and generally results in official sanctions. In Midźungemle, this pragmatic approach was motivated by the failures of the constitutional alcohol prohibition which lasted until the 1950s, where an alcohol-free Kudravine society proved unattainable and efforts would be better orientated towards harm reduction and targetting social factors leading to drug use. As a result of this general law of tolerance, Kudravine is usually seen as more tolerant of drug use than other Zemlian nations, despite the harsh sentencing of career traders much like its neighboring states.

Kudravine law officially organizes legally-tradeable drugs into three classes: Class A aroma jatrausě (herb of the doctor), Class B aroma hailaŕeisě (herb of the healer) and Class C aroma selě (herb of the village). Jatrausě drugs include prescription drugs, such as opiates, which require a prescription to legally posses, such as painkillers. Hailaŕeisě drugs may require prescription in certain republics, but generally are fine to possess under a certain quantity or required supervision when taking, such as the case with psiobycilin, high-THC cannabis, or over-the-counter allergy medication. Selě drugs never require a prescription, but in all cases can only be purchased by adults and remain highly regulated, such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and low-THC cannabis.

All drugs, with the exception of Class C drugs, must be distributed at state-run pharmacies or in hospitals. Class C drugs may be vended in locations where food items are also distributed. Any and all private distribution of Class A and B drugs is a federal offence, and no drugs of the afformentioned classes may be imported nor exported, nor may one bring them to any overseas administative regions of Kudravina without medical approval.

Energy
Kudravina ranks fifth in the world both in total nuclear power capacity installed and electricity generated, accounting for around one tenth of global nuclear power generated. Nuclear power contributed 30% of the total Kudravinian electricity production in 2019, with 348.1 TWh. As of June 2021, Kudravina has a total nuclear power generation capacity of 49.6 GW from 50 reactors, with additional 17.1 GW under construction.

Nuclear power has been looked into as an alternative to coal due to increasing concerns about air quality, climate change and fossil fuel shortages. In 2009, Kudravina's National Development and Reform Commission indicated the intention to raise the percentage of Kudravina's electricity produced by nuclear power to 70% by 2030.

Kudravina has one major nuclear power company, the Kudravinian National Nuclear Company operating mainly in north-east Kudravina.

Kudravina aims to maximize self-reliance on nuclear reactor technology manufacturing and design, although international cooperation and technology transfer are also encouraged. Advanced pressurized water reactors are the mainstream technology in the near future, which is also planned to be exported. By mid-century fast neutron reactors are seen as the main technology, with a planned 1400 GW capacity by 2100. Kudravina is also involved in the development of nuclear fusion reactors through its participation in the SNEED project, having constructed an experimental nuclear fusion reactor known as SEXO located in Aldsaglitha, as well as research and development into the thorium fuel cycle as a potential alternative means of nuclear fission.

Kudravina plans to build as many as thirty nuclear power reactors in countries involved in the BAYAN Initiative by 2030. In 2021, Kudravina has announced plans to build 50 new civilian reactors at home and abroad until 2035.

Education and Science
Education in Kudravina is very diverse because the constitution of Kudravina delegates the authority for the school system to the nations. There are both public and private schools, including many private international schools. The minimum age for primary school is about six years in all nations, but most nations provide a free "children's school" starting at four or five years old. Primary school continues until grade four, five or six, depending on the school. Traditionally, the first foreign language in school was always one of the other national languages, although in 2000 Interzemljan was introduced first in some nations. There are a number of degree programs that are taught in Interzemljan, which attracts thousands of degree and exchange students every year. At the end of primary school (or at the beginning of secondary school), pupils are separated according to their capacities in several (often three) sections. The fastest learners are taught advanced classes to be prepared for further studies and the matura, while students who assimilate a little more slowly receive an education more adapted to their needs.

The flexible curriculum is set by the Ministry of Education and Culture. After lower secondary school, graduates may either enter the workforce directly, or apply to trade schools or gymnasiums (upper secondary schools). Trade schools offer a vocational education: approximately 40% of an age group choose this path after the lower secondary school. Academically oriented gymnasiums have higher entrance requirements and specifically prepare for Abitur and tertiary education. Graduation from either formally qualifies for tertiary education.

In tertiary education, two mostly separate and non-interoperating sectors are found: the profession-oriented polytechnics and the research-oriented universities. Education is free and living expenses are to a large extent financed by the government through student benefits. There are 15 universities and 24 Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) in the country. Around 33% of residents have a tertiary degree, similar to LARP and more than in most other Zemljan countries. The proportion of foreign students is 3% of all tertiary enrolments, one of the lowest in LARP, while in advanced programs it is 7.3%, still below the LARP average of 16.5%. Other reputable universities of Kudravina include TBD University in TBD, TBD University in TBD, TBD University in TBD, TBD University in TBD, TBD University in TBD and TBD University in TBD.

More than 30% of tertiary graduates are in science-related fields. Forest improvement, materials research, environmental sciences, neural networks, low-temperature physics, brain research, biotechnology, genetic technology, and communications showcase fields of study where Kudravinian researchers have had a significant impact.

Kudravina has a long tradition of adult education, and by the 1980s nearly three million Kudravinians were receiving some kind of instruction each year. Forty percent of them did so for professional reasons. Adult education appeared in a number of forms, such as secondary evening schools, civic and workers' institutes, study centres, vocational course centres, and folk high schools. Study centres allowed groups to follow study plans of their own making, with educational and financial assistance provided by the state.

Kudravina is highly productive in scientific research. In 2005, Kudravina had the fourth most scientific publications per capita of LARP countries. In 2007, 1,801 patents were filed in Kudravina.

In addition, 38% of Kudravina's population has a university or college degree, which is among the highest percentages in the world.

In December 2017 the Kudravinian Society of Sociological Research reported that Kudravinian fathers spend an average of eight minutes a day more with their school-aged children than mothers do.

Cuisine
Kudravinian cuisine varies from region to region and often neighbouring regions share some culinary similarities (e.g. the southern regions of Vonoslovenska share some traditions with Lipnitia and Sremia). International varieties such as sushi, Reismovi kangaroo and Miladrian kebab are also popular.

Bread is a significant part of Kudravinian cuisine and Kudravinian bakeries produce about 600 main types of bread and 1,200 types of pastries and rolls. Kudravinian cheeses account for about 22% of all cheese produced in Kudravina. In 2012 over 99% of all meat produced in Germany was either kangaroo, chicken or lamb. Kudravinians produce their ubiquitous sausages in almost 1,500 varieties. The national alcoholic drink is kefir. Kudravinian kefir consumption per person stands at 110 litres (24 imp gal; 29 US gal) in 2013 and remains among the highest in the world. Kudravinian kefir purity regulations date back to the 16th century. Whiskey is becoming more popular in many parts of the country, especially close to Kusian regions. In 2019, Kudravina was the ninth-largest whiskey producer in the world.

Public holidays
The public holidays in Kadolha are defined by the Act on National Holidays in the Republic of Kadolha.
