History
Expansion
Captain Vusmein Llorens and his crew of sailors aboard the SS Zexaro discovered the uninhabited island, later to be known as Llorens, on 6 May 2014 after escaping from a conflict in an unknown land. The island went through a rapid establishment period due to the lack of geographic or prior inhabitant resistance, paired with an expanding population also fleeing the conflict. As a result of this, Zexaro, the eventual capital, was established on 6 June, followed by a range of other cities: Xeñana City on 24 September, Liteya on 15 October, Zanaville on 23 November and Xerturini on 16 December.
Constitution
The Constitution of Llorens is the central document of Llorens and officially united the nation upon its ratification on 6 May 2016, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of the island's discovery. It consists of five Articles consisting Rights, Parliament, Judiciary, States and Amendments. Each state held a referendum on the question, Do you approve of the Constitution of Llorens?. Citizens of each state of 16 years or older were eligible to vote and a two-thirds majority was required in each state for it to be ratified. The results-by-state are as follows:
| State | Result | Yes | No | Total | Turnout | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Votes | % | Votes | % | ||||

| Vusmein | Yes | 16,767 | 76.5 | 5,151 | 23.5 | 21,918 | 84.3% |

Geography
The Llorenian landmass consists of a mainland area on the southern tip of the Lupamig continent and a 16-island archipelago near its coast, collectively totalling 2,574,116 km2 of land.
The World Council classifies the northern islands of Zana, the northern region of Vusmein, and the entire mainland area of Rinture as 'tropical savannah', while the remaining majority of the archipelago is classified as 'humid subtropical'.
The nation has one of the lowest average elevations in the world at a height of 24 metres above sea level, with its highest point at Mount Sanotoza in Rinture at a height of 813 metres above sea level.
