History
Expansion
Captain Vusmein Llorens and his crew of sailors discovered the uninhabited island on 5 May 2016, later to be known as Llorens, after presumably escaping from conflict in an unknown land. Llorens went through a rapid establishment period, as there was no resistance or prior inhabitants. The state capital establishments were Zexaro on 6 May 2016, Xeñana City on 16 May 2016, Liteya on 26 May 2016, Zanaville on 5 June 2016, and Xerturini on 15 June 2016.
Unification
The Unification of Llorens was a document created and established on June 11, 2016. It acts as a sort of constitution for the country to this day. The document briefly outlines new guidelines for the unification of the newly discovered island/continent to be named Llorens:
- The island/continent of no-name will be named Llorens and all its land will be unified into this one nation
- Llorens will be split into 5 states: Vusmein, Ytelia, Xeñana, Rinturè, and Zana.
- The capital will be Zexaro, Vusmein
- Annual democratic elections will be held to elect a Parliament, President & Vice-President
Government
Llorens runs under an unicameral political system, with Parliament being the sole parliamentary house. It consists of 100 seats and is held in the capital, Zexaro. The office of the President of Llorens is currently held by Elisabeth Harland, leader of the Socialist Party. The office of the Vice-President of Llorens is currently held by Josef Cervenka, leader of the Green Party.

There are 7 political parties that have seats in Parliament, in addition to five independents:

Elections
Elections are held each year using the approval voting method to elect five representatives per each of the 10 districts to the Parliament of Llorens, resulting in 50 total members. Voting is voluntary for Llorenian citizens who are 16 years or older. Eligible voters cast their ballot on a single piece of paper displaying each of the candidates for their district, and place a cross next to each one that they approve of. The five winners for each district are selected by being the candidates with the five highest approval percentage. Each party may submit a maximum of five candidates per district.
The leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament is elected President, and the vice-leader of this party is elected as Vice-President. If the party with the most seats is tied, these positions will be elected by a majority vote of the Parliament, and by an approval vote if this is tied between three or more parties. If this vote fails to declare a winner, a nationwide presidential election will be held.

There are six core ministries of Government in Llorens. Each of these ministries is headed by a minister and vice-minister. These 12 positions are covered by the main party, currently the Socialist Party, to form a Cabinet, along with the party leader.
