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. It consists of six Articles consisting Rights, Executive, Legislature, 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:
