Liberalia is a large and politically-active region, often viewed as one of NationState's leading parliamentary democracies. A diverse region, it enjoys a varied and active membership representing many different backgrounds and communities. Liberalia is listed as one of Salfara's 32 largest NationStates regions. It's regional government is currently run by a democratic alliance of left-wing parties called the "Popular Front."

History

The Sovereign and Independent region of Liberalia was born on 20th December 2005, by exiled democratic nations from the region of WWSETI. The first three of these nations, Carops, Ardalia and Loslakia, proclaimed a government-in-exile in Liberalia, following the installment of a dictatorship in their home region.

Liberalia grew rapidly and talks with WWSETI, which was losing members and failing to find recruits, collapsed. It wasn't long before it became clear that Liberalia would thrive independantly and it was decided that reunification with WWSETI was not an option that would do well for the region.

The first Liberalians retained Carops as their Prime Minister from the 28th December 2005, when they elected their first democratically-elected leader. Carops served as provisional Prime Minister up to this point to enable the region to grow large and stable enough to be in a position to elect a leader. Carops served as Prime Minister until early March 2006, even though his term was slated to end in late February. Farlane was elected Prime Minister under the Moderate Party.

Following this, Random Textbox Inputs became Liberalia's first Socialist Prime Minister, and oversaw a period of great reforms and diplomatic difficulties, which were calmly dealt with. This term was followed by a Coalition Government of two Prime Ministers, Fernetti and Soccersian, following a tie of votes in the regional elections. Soccersian's conduct as Prime Minister saw mass resignations from the government, and eventually forced his resignation as Prime Minister, leaving Fernetti as sole ruler.

After the end of this term, Fishyguy was elected as Liberalia's first Libertarian Prime Minister. The Fishyguy term was one of controversy, which saw the regional population decline heavily. Following this, Fernetti was re-elected to the position of Prime Minister.

In June of 2007, Liberalia's forums were locked by the original founder Carops. New Liberalia became the official successor to the in-game region of Liberalia, but the region continues to refer to itself as Liberalia. Meanwhile, a Republic of Liberalia was illegitimatly created in the Region of Liberalia, but it was formed by Carops who purged all former members of Liberalia.

Government

Liberalia’s Head of State and highest-ranking member is the Prime Minister, who is democratically-elected to serve a term of two months. He appoints the cabinet and most departmental officials. Should the Prime Minister for any reason lose or leave his job, the region has installed a Council of Guardians to oversee the election of a successor. The Guardians consist of five members, three permanent and two temporary. The three permanent members are the three first Revolutionaries, and the three nations who together founded the region of Liberalia, except for Science and Discovery, who replaced the third permanent member of the Guardian Council after he was ejected from the region for destruction of the regional forums, abuse of admin powers and electoral fraud. The three permanent guardians are Ardalia, Carops and Science & Discovery. The other two are elected by parliament. Liberalia has relations with a number of regions and enjoys alliances with many. We share the goals of all democratic regions. Liberalia has a number of laws which may be of interest. One of the most important pieces of legislation passed in Liberalia is the “Preservation of Democracy Act” which aims to prevent the region from ever becoming a dictatorship. Many laws reflect the concerns of Liberalia, a environmentally-friendly and healthy state, with compassionate views.

Liberalia operates a sophisticated party-political system. There are a number of important and interesting groups in the region, all of which enjoy an active membership. Here is a brief list of the six current parties here:

The Moderate Party (Leader: Carops) The Liberal Party (Leader: Curiaistan) The Centre-Right Party (Leader: Forthampton) The Socialist Party (Leader: Random Textbox Inputs) The Libertarian Party (Leader: Fishy_Guy, Prez) The Popular Front (Leader: cheesyweesy)

All of these parties play an active and vibrant role in the running of Liberalia.

The Liberalian Cabinet is made up of five ministries, most with various sub-ministries or secretariats. These are:

Interior Minister: Fernetti Foreign Minister: Curiaistan Defence Minister: Abbassia Services Minister: Prez Information Minister: Grand Moffaul Tarkin and Haelhan

Liberalian Law Secretary: Golgora Recruitment Secretary: Bandaloon Culture Secretary: Nucleawasta

Finance Secretary: Hammer Health Secretary: Delta Golf Sierra Education and Science Secretary: Latagon Environment Secretary: Environmentalist R Us

Each ministry has a minister, and each secretariat has a secretary (pretty simple, really).
