The Leftist Assembly is one of the largest leftist regions in NationStates. The region is one of the highest in World Assembly Endorsements and Population. The General Assembly is the legislature, the Ministry of Law is the judiciary, and the Secretary of the Assembly is the executive.
There are two major legal documents: the Constitution and the Code of Laws. The regional anthem is The Internationale. The official regional newspaper is The Red Star. The two official organisations of the region are the United Armed Forces (military relations) and The Diplomatic Corps (foreign relations). The game-first official podcast is Keyboard Warriors.

History
The Leftist Assembly was established on 14 January 2016 as a merger between The Communist Region and The Democratic Socialist Union due to stagnated growth and the desire for a unified and revitalised leftist region. The Constitution was ratified on 21 February 2016, and the Code of Laws came into effect on 2 March 2016. The region's first WA Delegate was technically Celera, but considering their tenure lasted mere hours on 26 January 2016, the first proper Delegate is generally considered to be Locksmithia, who reigned as from 26 January to 7 March 2016. The first Secretary, the newly established elected leader of the region, was Atealia. The first Act to pass the General Assembly was the Electoral Reform Act, proposed by Cedoria and passed 8-1 by the 3rd General Assembly.

Government
The General Assembly is the legislative body for the government of The Leftist Assembly. It consists of nine members, and laws and amendments may be proposed by any member. For this to be ratified, it must receive a simple majority vote and an endorsement by the Secretary. Should it fail to receive this endorsement, a super majority vote of 70% may be attempted to ratify it. Each of the positions is elected through the alternative voting system. Terms last for 3 months, and elections begin at the end of their respective month (March, June, September, or December).
Ministries
There are five ministries, in addition to the Secretary and Prime Minister, that are each headed by a Minister, except for the Ministry of Law, which has a Chief Justice and two Minor Justices. A new ministry can be formed or deactivated should the need arise with the approval of at least 60% of the General Assembly and an endorsement by the Secretary. The following are the nations that currently fill these positions:

Military
The United Armed Forces is the game-play military force tasked with defending The Leftist Assembly and actively participating in foreign military operations when necessary. The organisation "seeks to serve and protect the people" and tasks itself with "defending the people's revolution". Essentially, the organisation aims to protect and spread the influence of leftism in the wider NationStates community. The force is led by Commander-in-Chief Losinia and Field Commander New Tuva SSR.
Foreign relations
The organisation in charge of interregional relations is The Diplomatic Corps, the main body of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which are all under the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Libertasnia. The Leftist Assembly has a number of official embassies with notable leftist regions:
