Ditrama is a federation made up of three autonomous regions: Korva, Mitro and Guadar. Under the federal revenuesharing plan, each region receives a share of federal revenues equal to the share of the total population of Ditrama residing in that region as shown by a yearly population survey. Last year, the percentage of federal revenues Korva received for its share decreased somewhat even though the population survey on which the revenue-sharing was based showed that Korva’s population had increased.
