History
The Leftist Assembly was founded on 14 January 2016 by British Accia, LAN, Atealia, and Cedoria (under the multi-nation held account of Leftist Assembly Founder). It was established as a merger of The Communist Region and its breakaway region, the Democratic Socialist Union, due to the desire for a reunified and revitalised leftist region.

The Constitution was ratified on 19 February 2016, now celebrated annually on this day as Constitution Day, and the Code of Laws was ratified on 17 April 2016.
