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 a 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 11 June 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

Elections are held on the last Saturday of June each year using the proportional approval voting method to elect four members per state to the Parliament of Llorens, resulting in 20 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 candidate with the most approval is elected, all their voters' vote values are halved for each of their other candidates, and this process is repeated until all four members have been elected for the respective state.
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, the party that is able to gain a majority support in the Parliament wins.
