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 People's Republic of Llorens, more commonly known as Llorens, is a federal republic consisting of five states: Vusmein, Ytelia, Xeñana, Rinturè, and Zana. The country is situated in the region of The Leftist Assembly. The country was first discovered by Captain Vusmein Llorens on 5 May 2016. The nation is notable for having high political freedoms and civil rights, and non-existent economic freedoms.

The nation is an active member of the World Assembly. Llorens' national animal is the loquito, which is a prosperous endemic species commonly found in the nation's abundant forests.

The Parliament of Llorens is held in Zexaro, the capital city, and is currently lead by the Socialist Party and its leader, Elisabeth Harland, who is consequently the President of Llorens. The system is unicameral, consisting of the Parliament, and has 20 seats. An election is held on the last Saturday of June every year, with 4 members elected for each state.

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

Government

The unicameral legislature of Llorens is the Parliament, consisting of 100 members and held in the nation's capital, Zexaro. The current government is a coalition of the Socialist Party and the Green Party. The Head of State and the Head of Government are both held by the office of the President, currently held by Elisabeth Harland, and is assisted by the Vice-President, currently held by Bartolomeu Berkowitz.
