The Leftist Assembly

The Leftist Assembly is one of the largest leftist regions in NationStates. The region consists of 103 nations, with 60 of these belonging to the World Assembly. Most notably, the region is 15th for Most World Assembly Endorsements, 126th for Most Nations, and 534th for Most Inclusive. The General Assembly is run under an independent-member system, currently lead by Cedoria as Secretary of the Assembly, and Auven as Prime Minister.

The region has an official Constitution and Code of Laws that all member nations must abide by. The regional anthem is The Internationale. The region's official newspaper is currently in the making and will be named The Leftist. The two official organisations of the region are the United Armed Forces and The Diplomatic Corps. Occasional role-play events are held, such as the 1st Olympic Games.

History

The Leftist Assembly was established on 14 January 2016 as a merger between The Communist Region and The Democratic Socialist Union. The Preamble of the Constitution of The Leftist Assembly, ratified on 21 February 2016, states:

The Leftist Assembly is the reunification of the former Democratic Socialist Union and The Communist Region following stagnating growth and the desire for a revitalised region to unite the left. The Leftist Assembly strives to protect those who labour and prevent the exploitation of the working class. To this end, we shall unite the peoples of our two communities into one inseparable family. Protectors of the revolution forevermore. The Constitution was most recently ratified by means of Direct Democratic Vote on the 21st of February, 2016. Any member nation is protected and subject to the declarations in the following document.

Terms

Government

The General Assembly is the legislative body for the government of The Leftist Assembly. It consists of nine members, and laws and amendments may be proposed by any member. For this to be ratified, it must receive a simple majority vote and an endorsement by the Secretary. Should it fail to receive this endorsement, a super majority vote of 70% may be attempted to ratify it. Each of the positions is elected through the alternative voting system. Terms last for 3 months, and elections begin at the end of their respective month (March, June, September, or December).

Ministries

There are five ministries, in addition to the Secretary and Prime Minister, that are each headed by a Minister, except for the Ministry of Law, which has two Minor Justices and a Chief Justice. A new ministry can be formed or deactivated should the need arise with the approval of at least 60% of the General Assembly and an endorsement by the Secretary. The following are the nations that currently fill these positions:

Military

The United Armed Forces is the game-play military force tasked with defending The Leftist Assembly and actively participating in foreign military operations when necessary. The Mission Statement of the military force states:

The United Armed Forces seeks to serve and protect the people of The Leftist Assembly. We are the vanguard tasked with defending the people's revolution, and will stand steadfast against the rising tide of fascism and capitalism. We fight for socialism, equality, democracy, justice, and peace. We will work tirelessly to reaffirm our values, and defend from those who seek to destroy them.

There are currently seven members of the organisation, led by Commander-in-Chief Cedoria and Field Commander Rare Pepe Hunters.
