The Leftist Assembly is one of the largest leftist regions in NationStates, founded on 14 January 2016 to unite all leftists under a common banner. The region is generally government-focused, with the Secretary of the Assembly serving as its executive, The General Assembly as its mixed appointed and elected legislature, and the Ministry of Law as its judiciary.
History
The Leftist Assembly was established on 14 January 2016 as a merger between The Communist Region and The Democratic Socialist Union due to stagnated growth and the desire for a unified and revitalised leftist region. The Constitution was ratified on 21 February 2016 and the Code of Laws came into effect on 2 March 2016. The region's first WA Delegate was technically Celera, but considering their tenure lasted mere hours on 26 January 2016, the first proper Delegate is generally considered to be Locksmithia, who reigned from 26 January to 7 March 2016. The first Secretary, the newly established elected leader of the region, was Atealia. The first Act to pass the General Assembly was the Electoral Reform Act, proposed by Cedoria and passed 8-1 by the 3rd General Assembly.

Terms
Government
The regional government is centred around its mixed elected and appointed legislature, the General Assembly. This body consists of the Secretary, currently Llorens, Prime Minister, currently Obiristan, and the heads of each ministry, including Archives, Defence, Foreign Affairs and Law. The last of these, the Ministry of Law, consists of three members that form the regional judiciary.
Legislature
The General Assembly is the legislature of The Leftist Assembly. It consists of eight members (transitioning from nine to eight in the next election due to recently changed legislation), including the Secretary and the heads of all four ministries, and laws and amendments may be proposed by any member. Bills affecting the Constitution go to a referendum and require fifty percent plus one vote in favour to pass, and bills not affecting the Constitution go to a General Assembly vote and require five votes in favour to pass. Each position is elected using the alternative voting system and terms last for three months, with elections occurring in the second half of March, June, September and December.
Ministries
There are five ministries that are each led by a minister or three in the case of the Ministry of Law. The following are the nations that currently fill these positions:
