The Federal 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 May 5, 2016. The nation is notable for having high political freedoms and civil rights, and very low economic freedoms. Llorens is a notably safe and income equal nation, with compassionate and nice citizens. The nation is a World Assembly nation, and a regular voter in both the Generally Assembly and Security Council. Llorens' national animal is the Lioness, which is a prosperous endemic species that is commonly found in the nation's abundant forests.
The Llorenian economy is dominated by government activity, 92.7% of total, and private industry is extremely limited, 4.5% of total, due to the low economic freedoms in the nation. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Trout Farming. The average income in Llorens is 58,221 Llorençs.
The Llorens Parliament is held in Zexaro, the capital city, and is currently lead by the Socialist Party and it's leader, Elisabeth Harland, who is consequently the President of Llorens. The system is unicameral, with one Parliament, and has 100 seats. An election is held every year, with 5 representatives elected to each district. There are 4 districts per each of the 5 states. The most recent election was the Llorenian federal election, 2016.

Politics
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 leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament is elected President. This office is currently held by Elisabeth Harland, leader of the Socialist Party with 26 seats, after the Llorenian federal election, 2016. The leader of the party with the second-most seats in Parliament is elected Vice-President. This office is currently held by Josef Cervenka, leader of the Green Party with 22 seats.
Seat Distribution
The seats of the First Parliament are distributed among 7 political parties and independents:
- Socialist Party - 26
- Green Party - 22
- Progressive Party - 19
- Democratic Party - 15
- Worker's Party - 7
- People's Party - 4
- National Party - 2
- Independents - 5
Parliament Rules
There are eight officially recognised 'Parliament Rules', with 6 concerning elections, and 2 concerning proposed laws:
| Rule Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Voting Process | Five representatives are elected per district using single transferable voting. |
| Number of Districts | There are 4 districts per each of the 5 states. |
| Party Representation | Each party may be represented by 5 candidates in each district, giving that possibility to win all 5 seats in that district. |
| Election of Speakers | The two speakers are elected preferentially by Parliament, from a list of non-affiliated politicians who have been endorsed by at least 10 members. |
| Election of President | The leader of the party elected with the most seats in Parliament is appointed President. If there is an even amount of seats between two parties, a President will be elected by a majority vote in Parliament, then by a national vote. |
| Voting Age | To vote in the Llorens federal election, a person must be over 18 and a Llorenian citizen. Voting is voluntary. |
| Voting on Proposed Laws | A proposed law needs 51 or more votes from members of Parliament to become legislation. |
| Voting Abstinence | Any member of Parliament can choose to abstain from the vote, but doesn't affect the number of votes needed to pass the proposed law. |
Elections
Elections are held each year to elect 100 representatives for 20 districts in Llorens. To vote, a person must be a Llorenian citizen and 18 years or older. Eligible voters cast their ballot on a single piece of paper displaying each of the candidates for their districts. Using a single transferable voting system, voters place at least six numbers (1 to 6) in the box next to their preferred parties, or at least twelve numbers (1 to 12) next to their preferred candidates.
Each party may submit a maximum of five candidates per district, so that they have the possibility to gain each seat in that district. The party must also submit a voting order, so that voters for parties, rather than individual candidates, can have their votes distributed accordingly. The reason for having five candidates per district is to advantage minority views, making it more likely that a minor party candidate will be chosen, while still providing citizens with local members of Parliament that will provide attention to their region.
Ministries
There are eight core ministries of Government in Llorens:
- Ministry of Law
- Ministry of Environment
- Ministry of Health
- Ministry of Education
- Ministry of Culture
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Ministry of Innovation
- Ministry of Social Services
Each of these ministries is headed by a minister (e.g. Minister of Health) and a vice-minister (e.g. Vice-Minister of Health). These 16 positions are covered by the main party, currently the Socialist Party, to form a Cabinet, along with the party leader. If there aren't enough members in the main party to cover these positions, this party can choose to form a coalition and offload certain ministries, or these will be given to the second main party of Parliament.
The current Cabinet of the First Parliament is:
| Ministry | Minister | Vice-Minister |
|---|---|---|
| Party Leader | Elisabeth Harland | - |
| Ministry of Law | Dianne Romanov | Aridai Devine |
| Ministry of Environment | Karolina Abel | Serafino Gerillo |
| Ministry of Health | Dominique Bernard | Viviane Stark |
| Ministry of Education | Adair Airaldi | Auda Bootsma |
| Ministry of Culture | Veselko Steuben | Elisaveta Bastori |
