The Leftist Assembly

The Leftist Assembly is the fifth largest leftist region in NationStates. The region consists of 127 nations, with 60 of these forming part of the World Assembly. Most notably, the region is 26th for Most World Assembly Endorsements, and 85th for Most Nations. The regional government, the General Assembly, is currently lead by the Solidarity Party and Atealia, although a Constitutional reform is currently underway after a democratic decision to change the government to an independent system. The region also has an official Constitution and Code of Laws that all member nations must abide by.

History

The Leftist Assembly was established on January 14, 2016 as a merger between The Communist Region and The Democratic Socialist Union. On 15 February 2016, The Constitution of The Leftist Assembly was established, and The Code of Laws of The Leftist Assembly on 24 April 2016.

Government

Upon its founding, the region functioned with a multi-party system. The three parties that competed in the 1st election were The Solidarity Party, Worker's Army Party, and Independent Leftist Front. Two other parties that were officially registered, but never ran in an election, were People's Rights Party, and The Socialist Union. In late August 2016, the members of the region democratically chose to change the government to an independent system. This system will consist of a 9 member council, with specific details on their names, roles, and election process yet to be confirmed. The Constitution of The Leftist Assembly is set to be changed in accordance with this in early September 2016.

Elections

The political process is currently under reform after the democratic decision to move from the multi-party system to an independent system. Once the Constitutional reform has been completed, this section will be updated with current details.

Ministries

There are five ministries, in addition to the Prime Minister, Auven, and each has a Minister that runs them, except for the Ministry of Law which has a Chief Justice, First Justice, and Second Justice. The following are the nations that currently fill these positions:

Ministry Minister
Foreign Affairs Khasinkonia
Defence Cedoria
Immigration & Customs British Accia
Archives Auven
Ministry Chief Justice First Justice Second Justice
Law NPWR Celera USU

Ministry of Law

The Ministry of Law shall serve as the judicial body of The Leftist Assembly government. Possessing the ability to determine laws or amendments as unconstitutional, they will study and further define this document and any additions to it. The Ministry will consist of one head, and two additional Minor Justices(those who receive the second and third most votes, assigning them as First and Second Minor Justice as such)that will manage arguments on the nature of constitutional interpretation as well as pseudo-court cases should laws constitutional or otherwise be broken. It is hoped that through this system no person within our union shall ever be above the law. Decisions by the Minister can be cancelled by a joint-decision by the two minor justices. Should the Minister be busy handling a case or otherwise unavailable, the First Minor Justice will assume the position for that decision and so on should the First Minor Justice be unavailable.

Ministry of Defence

The Ministry of Defence handles The United Armed Forces of The Leftist Assembly (UAF) as well as deals with foreign incidents that involve R/D gameplay. Any raid must be Authorised by The Secretary of The Assembly, however, If the Secretary is unavailable the Prime Minister can also authorise small raids. Defence of Home regions and allied Left Wing regions can be independently authorised by the Defence minister as they are generally based in urgency.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs handles relations with allied and enemy regions of The Leftist Assembly. Their Duties are related to interregional communication and cooperation, the establishment of embassies, as well as peace talks. If The Leftist Assembly is to make an official Declaration of War (often necessary for large-scale conflicts against genuine threats) it must be approved by both the Secretary as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This includes wars involving multiple regions on one or both sides. Direct conflict with a major military power of Fascist, Capitalist or non-aligned origin. Or multi-regional organizations of partisan origin. Raider regions are not counted in these groups.

Ministry of Archives

The Ministry of Archives will preserve and document any major political or historical event of The Leftist Assembly. Anyone serving under the Ministry of Archives must attempt to avoid bias in their records and ‘putting a spin’ on documents is a valid cause for a vote of no confidence. They will also be responsible for a state-run periodical as to keep the public informed and interested in the government of their region. For the sake of continuity the Ministry of Archives will be an indefinite position, however, there will be a review of their performance every month to determine if they should retain their position.

Ministry of Immigration & Customs

The Ministry of Immigration & Customs is tasked with the recruitment of nations to The Leftist Assembly as well as ensuring that newly joined nations are in accordance with the Constitution as a whole and if need be to notify them so they can correct any discrepancies.

Prime Minister

The Prime Minister Is the head of any non-appointed ministers elected by The General Assembly, to serve as a bridge between the Ministries and the General Assembly. Serving both as the head of their respective ministry and as the Prime Minister, they will ensure that the Secretary is briefed and should the Secretary of the Assembly be removed or resign, they will become the de facto Secretary until the next election.
