The Leftist Assembly is a leftist region in NationStates. It was founded on 14 January 2016 as the reunification of two former regions - The Communist Region and the Democratic Socialist Union. The region is a member of NSLeft and the Interregional Legislative Coalition, and is affiliated militarily with The Red Fleet and Antifa.
The region is generally government-focused, with a three-branch government system - the Cabinet (executive) led by the Secretary, the General Assembly (legislature) led by the Speaker, and the Supreme Court.
The most recent census was held in November 2019.

History
The Leftist Assembly was founded on 14 January 2016 by British Accia, LAN, Atealia, and Cedoria (under the multi-nation held account of Leftist Assembly Founder). It was established as a merger of The Communist Region and its breakaway region, the Democratic Socialist Union, due to the desire for a reunified and revitalised leftist region.
