People's Judiciary
People's Judiciary is a collective term for the judicial branch of Karelia-Ivanovian government, supervised by the People's Commissariat for Justice. Right to a free trial is guaranteed in the constitution, but in practice the entire justice system is heavily influenced by the Nationalist Workers' Party, and fair trial is mainly a distant dream for those who are considered enemies of the party.
It is divided into following branches:
- People's Supreme Court is the highest branch of the People's Judiciary. Composed of total 35 justices, who are grouped into "commissions" of five justices for trials, it handles cases of national significance, cases concerning senior state officials and politicians and cases that have progressed from lower branches of the People's Judiciary through applications and complaints concerning the verdict.
- People's Soviet Republic Courts are middle-level courts organized according to Karelia-Ivanovian Soviet Republics. They handle cases that span in jurisdiction of several local courts, cases that involve regional officials and cases that have progressed to it from lower courts. There are total 18 People's District Courts in Karelia-Ivanovia, which are divided into Criminal, Civil and Administrative branches.

Administrative Divisions
Soviet Republics
Since Karelia-Ivanovia is a communist federation of Soviet Republics, it has been divided into 18 partially autonomous Soviet Republics organized according to geographical and ethnical borders.
Each Soviet Republic enjoys the ability to partially decide on local policies and issues, but they are nevertheless in a tight leash of the Nationalist Worker's Party and administration in Ivanograd, especially since elections to Soviet Republics' Supreme People's Soviets are conducted with a closed-list system and NWP is only allowed party.
Soviet Republics are administered by their own Supreme People's Soviets, which appoint Executive Committees as executive branches of their administration.
Soviet Republics:
Provinces
Soviet Republics are in turn divided into Provinces or Raions which have the responsibility of several local administration tasks in their areas. Extent of these tasks varies according to the host Soviet Republic of a province. Each province is administered by an elected Provincial Soviet or Raysovet (Rayon Sovet), which elects one of it's members as the Premier of the Raion.
There are over 214 diffeent provinces in Soviet Republics of Karelia-Ivanovia.

Main article Military of Karelia-Ivanovia
Defense of the United Soviet Republics of Karelia-Ivanovia against foreign threats is the responsibility of People's Armed Forces, a modern and well-equipped military force divided into five branches of Service:People's Land Forces, People's Navy, People's Air Force, People's Border Guard and Workers' Guard.
Every physically and mentally fit male and female is conscripted to the People's Armed Forces for 1-2 years between 17 to 25 years of age. However, as an alternative to military service a man or a woman can serve for four years in the Trudnayy Korpus or Labour Corps. Labour Corps servicepersons are usually assigned to state-owned sovkhoz farms or various branches of the civil service. Discipline in the Labour Corps is naturally a lot laxer than in the People's Armed Forces, and this and part-time nature of the Labour Corps are main reasons for Labour Corps service's lenght.
After completing the compulsory military service, conscripts will pass on to reserve, where they will stay until they reach 50 years of age. Reservists must attend regular military refreshment courses in order to train them to new doctrines and equipment and to refresh their skills learned during military service.
