'''The League''', officially known as '''The Grand Republic of The League''', previously known as '''The League of Conservative Nations''', and sometimes abbreviated as '''TL''', is a region on NationStates of more than 160 nations. The League of Conservative Nations (LCN) was originally founded on 17 April 2016 by [[Adawn]] and [[Quebecshire (politician)|Quebecshire]] as a breakaway from the [[Great Conservative Alliance]]. After almost five years of active government, the region's community relocated to The League on 21 March 2021.<ref name=regionhistory />

'''The League''', officially known as '''The Republic of The League''', previously known as '''The League of Conservative Nations''', and sometimes abbreviated as '''TL''', is a region on NationStates of more than 490 nations. The League of Conservative Nations (LCN) was originally founded on 17 April 2016 by [[Adawn]] and [[Quebecshire (politician)|Quebecshire]] as a breakaway from the Great Conservative Alliance. After almost five years of active government, the region's community relocated to The League on 21 March 2021.<ref name=regionhistory />

The League's government is based on the region's [[Constitution of the Republic|fourth constitution]]. It is a semi-democratic government consisting of a democratically nominated and approved [[Council of the Republic|Council]] and an unelected [[Consulate of the Republic|Consulate]] of three Consuls, one whom is the [[Chief Consul of the Republic|Chief Consul]], who are all equal in power.<ref name=fourthconstitution /> The League has several additional institutions including the [[Department of Foreign Affairs]], the [[Department of Defense]], the [[League's Defense Forces]], the Office of the [[Archivist of the Republic]], and the Office of the [[World Assembly Delegate]]. The League also has an active [[Portal:Terraconserva|roleplay]] and [[LCN Wiki|wiki]].

== Etymology ==
 
== Etymology ==
−
Adawn came up with the original name ''The League of Conservative Nations'' to reflect to the ideologically conservative community he wished to build. After several years, the region had become more ideologically diverse, with centrist, liberal, and left-wing members increasing in government and in general. The LCN government decided in 2021 to move to The League to no longer have an ideological position in the region's name, because the conservative label likely hindered the region's recruitment efforts.

Quebecshire, as proven through an archived telegram, came up with the original name ''The League of Conservative Nations''. After several years, the region had become more ideologically diverse, with centrist, liberal, and left-wing members increasing in government and in general. The LCN government decided in 2021 to move to The League because the conservative label no longer reflected the goals or overall ideology of the region and was potentially hindering recruitment efforts.

=== Move to The League ===
−
|text=As I sit here, with my papers for schoolwork alongside a pen in front of me, and a glass of water to my right, I've been thinking. I will admit, it has been a less than pleasant night. I have come to some sorts of a crossroads in leading us. I am staunch in the idea that we cannot repeat the past, and I have been forced to confront the fact that Adawn may never come back, that Andrew du is gone for the most part and not who he was before, that Icaris is no longer active and involved like he once was, and that Gerryasomis has lost a general interest in the game and our functions. I am not quite sure what I am to do for this region anymore, it almost seems as if it is not the same, perhaps this is myself being tired, and my general mood, but I fear that I have become a leader of the past and not the future of this region. I am not sure what awaits the future of this region, and I am not sure how we are to handle it. I am not sure if I am to guide us into the future myself, or if my time here has passed. In lieu of giving up on the region, or hiding away from my thoughts on this matter, as President of the League, I hereby declare the following referendum.
 
  
−
Option One - Maintain the constitutional and governmental status quo.
+
In April 2021, The League of Conservative Nations became The League, both within its government as well as on NationStates. The regional population began a move to the new region which was completed within a month. Concurrently, The League began to integrate itself into Libcord, and perused a new foreign policy direction.
  
−
Option Two - Dissolve the current Constitution and hand executive authority over to the National Committee on Reconstruction, which will be chaired by myself. Seats on this committee will be offered to the following. Manchukuo and mengkukuo, Neo polisophos, Salisford, The Nexus Union, Kanjuura, Icaris, Caezar.

=== Establishment of Concord ===
  
−
|author=Quebecshire

[[Concord]] was established as a second region under The League's control on NationStates in June 2022.

==== UCN-LCN conflict ====

{{Main|UCN-LCN conflict}}
 
−
[[Nagarno]] was tried for attempting voter importation, and on his expulsion, he formed his own region, the ''United Conservative Nations''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/region=united_conservative_nations|title=UCN Region}}</ref>. In response to the UCN's creation, [[Spode Humbled Minions (politician)|Spode]] created the ''Fighting For Us'' discord server.

|text=An enemy of the people cannot just be fought by a government, it's a personal responsibility to fight on your own terms as well. Some use raiding, others infiltrate, all using their innate skills that have their purpose in the fight. The main structure that backs Nagarno, the real enemy of the LCN, is the UCN, so while our quarrel is only with him, his associates must also be taken on. The major fronts of this war are the wish of the people involved. This is not a government based venture. Try to make this a quiet war, but a well fought one.

−
This citizen force was expanded to government officials as the UCN government made it clear that they were not going to abide by their promise not to spam our region with API telegrams. Within the LCN's government, the council was disbanded recalled, Eminople was elected to the post of Prime Minister, and political parties united around wanting a strong response to the UCN's actions.  
 
  
−
Towards the end of the LCN-UCN war, the UCN's parliamentary government had revolted in the wake of Nagarno's corrupt actions, the royal assembly had been infiltrated, and over 30 nations within the region were LCN operatives. This set the stage for the final assault by LCN government forces in ''Operation Iron Justice'', set up by the consulate and then PM [[Eminople (politician)|Eminople]]. The UCN, now just Nagarno, with a few inactive LCN puppets, finally collapsed.

==== Farkasfalkan conflict ====
+
The government is regulated by the [[Constitution of the Republic]], which serves as the region's supreme legal document. The Constitution establishes the structure and responsibilities of both the Consulate and the Council. The Constitution has been amended an unknown number of times. Other agencies, collectively known as the executive departments, manage other elements of The League's government.<br>
−
{{Main|2019 Farkasfalka Raid}}
 
−
The Gentlemen's Coalition developed a plan, known as Operation Indonesia, to attack Farkasfalka and seize their regional delegacy on their region's birthday. This raid, as well as a follow up attack on ''The First Imperial Battalion'', were successfully executed<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1184583|title=Dispatch outlining the attack on Farkasfalka}}</ref>. Farkasfalka still stands today however. Since the minimum terms of the original war were never met by Farkasfalka, which were that Farkasfalka must abandon its pursuit of R/D gameplay, and a government admission of the reality of the holocaust, a state of war still exists between the LCN and Farkasfalka.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=34853293|title=Terms for peace}}</ref> But neither side was actively (or at least publicly) pursuing military actions against one another.
 
  
−
On February 19th 2021, the Farkas discord was permanently closed by Discord's Trust & Safety Team, and at least one high ranking official had their discord deleted.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515211745/https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=42839744|title=Farkas Server Deletion}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515211750/https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=42844018|title=Vungar's Deletion}}</ref> This incident forced Farkasfalka to regroup on other platforms.
+
The League's Government comprises of two major entities:<br>
  
−
The LCN's (later, The League's) war against the region ended alongside the entity of Farkasfalka, as it was burnt in the [[2021 Nazi Purges]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515212059/https://www.nationstates.net/region=farkasfalka|title=Farkasfalka on May 15th, 2021}}</ref>-->
+
* Legislative: The unicameral [[Council of the Republic]], made up of elected Council Delegates, votes on bills to create or reform new agencies, laws, or pass motions.
 +
*Executive/Judicial: The unelected [[Consulate of the Republic]] acts collectively to administer regional security, run the [[Court of the Republic]], veto legislative bills before they become law if necessary, and appoint the Directors of the executive departments.
  
−
==== LCN-FCN disturbances ====
+
The Council Delegates are elected through a process of nomination and confirmation that occurs on a bimonthly/monthly basis.
−
A series of spamming incidents on the LCN RMB, at times requiring moderator intervention, drove the two regions apart<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=35697757|title=FCN Spam Moderation}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37476010|title=FCN Spam Moderation II}}</ref>. In a separate incident, the FCN Secretary of War, CoT, tried to falsely defect to the LCN. Instead of trying to coup the FCN, the LCN immediately reported it to [[Gagium (politician)|Gagium]], resulting CoT losing his position and further destabilizing the FCN's fragile government<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37606726|title=COT incident from COT}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37605960|title=COT incident from Quebec}}</ref>. After [[Nexus]] left the LCN for the [[Federation of Conservative Nations]], the LCN's authorized espionage against the region. This espionage, and its reveal following the dismissal of the acting Director of the LCNIA for misconduct, constituted a major scandal<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37471826|title=FCN Server Scandal - Consulate Statement}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=37442320|title=FCN Server Scandal - FCN's Administration's Statement}}</ref>.

==== Layem skirmish ====
+
=== Foreign affairs ===
−
Official diplomatic ties between Layem and the LCN were cut after a dispute arising over the LCN's planned alignment with Enadia. After this, Layem's acting foreign affairs minister, Maur, engaged in a brief spamming campaign against the LCN's discord server<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=29789975|title=Maur 1}}</ref>. The spam varied from the rather innocuous (although annoying) "Hail Layem", to more serious rulebreaking material, such as swastikas and the n-word.
+
{{Main|Foreign Affairs of The League|Director of Foreign Affairs}}
  
−
Around a year later, Randolph, a member of Layem in a position related to military affairs, attempted to impersonate an official from ''The Free Nations Region''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=35548310|title=Statement regarding Layem}}</ref>. In regards to the matter, the Layamese government described this as a "a mild offense", punishing Randolph by restricting him from future government positions under Layem's current administration<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=35548123|title=Statement from Layem}}</ref>. After the confrontation, a number of further spam incidents on the LCN's discord server occurred, suspected to still be Randolph. A variety of accounts entered the LCN discord server, spamming phrases ranging from "WHITE TRASH LOSERS", "WE WILL INFILTRATE THE LCN", to "I HAVE RETURNED" (in reference to Nagarno, who Randolph also attempted to impersonate). All of these accounts were banned in turn, and the matter was resolved.
+
The League’s foreign affairs are handled by the Consulate and the Director of Foreign Affairs. They work to improve relations with partner regions, establish treaties with allied regions, and maintain open channels of information. A staff of diplomatic agents support the Director, particularly in distributing the monthly Foreign Affairs report and other diplomatic messages.

In its current form as a stanch defender military, the LDF has over 800 updates with interregional defense organization Libcord. The current general of the LDF is Makasta, who has served for nearly a year in the position.

==== Council of the Republic ====
 
−
{{Main|Council of the Republic}}
 
−
The Council of the Republic is the legislative body of the LCN. The Council is made up of ''Council Delegates'' (marked by a purple flair on the LCN's Discord), and there can be as many delegates on the council as go through the election process. The election process is made of two steps- Nomination and confirmation. First, a citizen must be nominated by three other citizens for a specific term length. Next, a sheet of all nominations is put forth to a public poll, where the general public can approve or contest the nominations. If the sheet is contested, then the person contesting will be asked to provide reasoning behind their contest. If that reason is a valid concern, then the nomination may be removed. After being elected, delegates serve for an either one or two month term (although they may be removed for serious misconduct, or may step down from the position).

The Consulate of the LCN is a set of three unelected leaders, known as consuls, who exercise collective judiciary and executive power. While position is permanent, a consul may be removed for serious misconduct, or can step down from their position. There have been four ex-consuls, and while one of them, Neo Polisophos, is held in high regard, the others have been jokingly referred to as the 'anticonsulate'.

The League, like most regions on NationStates, has relations between itself, other regions, and the interregional community at large. Today, foreign affairs of the Republic are handled by the ''Foreign Affairs Office'', in which diplomats are assigned as official envoys of the region by the [[Director of Foreign Affairs]], described as directing inter-regional policy through management of the department.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1014971|title=Positions in the Republic}}</ref>

==== Pro Life International ====
 
−
Pro-Life International, or PLI, was an interregional organization aimed at mobilizing pro-life regions' R/D activities. Originally joined by the LCN on May 7th, 2016, the LCN withdrew from PLI on September 12th, 2017, in an RMB announcement made by then president Icaris. The cited reason was "[W]e feel this organization does no longer serve our regional interests".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=28084032|title=PLI Cancellation Message}}</ref>

PLI has not been officially dissolved, but its last military action conducted in 2016 and the last message through its flagship subforum was in 2018, making the organization de facto defunct.

==== FORGE ====

Roleplay (often abbreviated as RP) has been a part of the League since almost its inception. In September 2019, the League's longest running RP, known as the [[Portal:Terraconserva|Terraconserva Worldbuilding RP]], began. In addition to this, several regional minecraft servers have existed since 2019.
−
FORGE was a interregional military organization that described its goals as "to protect our allies and prosper in unity".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=670365|title=FORGE Constitution}}</ref> The LCN joined FORGE on March 28th.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=24566532|title=FORGE Join Date}}</ref>. Throughout the course of FORGE, members of the LCN served in various positions of the organization. Andrew Du served as Deputy of Military Affairs, with Quebecshire serving first as the Public Relations officer, and later as Chancellor. The alliance of FORGE was plagued by ambiguity about its core functions, and the ill-fortunes of member regions. Of the 20 member regions that signed up, only three have avoided inactivity or death<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=676750|title=FORGE member region list}}</ref>. A vote was eventually launched to officially disband FORGE, and seeing the decayed status of the organization, then Chancellor Quebecshire withdrew the LCN from FORGE<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=27675930|title=Disbandment}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=27724462|title=FORGE LCN II}}</ref>.

The Gentlemen's Coalition was a R/D partnership between the LCN, the FCN, the Republic of Free Nations, and Redlandia. The coalition eventually fell apart amid tensions between two of its member regions- The LCN and FCN. The governments of the Republic of Free Nations, and Redlandia are defunct, while the FCN's legal successor is the Republic of Conservative Nations.

The foreign affairs of the LCN could be mostly defined as a continuous cycle of building diplomatic ties, those ties breaking, followed by a period of isolationism. Overall, the LCN has rejected a number of interregional partnerships in favor of retaining regional sovereignty. These rejections have come from both the government (in the form of the Icaris administration's departure from PLI, a sphere of influence dominated by the region Right to Life) as well as the citizenry, in a number of referendums<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=125162|title=LCN Military Policy Poll}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=119267|title=Alliance of Interdependent Regions Referendum}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=112815|title=SWORD Opinion Poll}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=113053|title=SWORD Referendum}}</ref>.

The League, officially known as The Republic of The League, previously known as The League of Conservative Nations, and sometimes abbreviated as TL, is a region on NationStates of more than 490 nations. The League of Conservative Nations (LCN) was originally founded on 17 April 2016 by Adawn and Quebecshire as a breakaway from the Great Conservative Alliance. After almost five years of active government, the region's community relocated to The League on 21 March 2021.[2]

The League's government is based on the region's fourth constitution. It is a semi-democratic government consisting of a democratically nominated and approved Council and an unelected Consulate of three Consuls, one whom is the Chief Consul, who are all equal in power.[3] The League has several additional institutions including the Department of Culture, Department of Foreign Affairs, the League's Defense Forces, and the Office of the Archivist of the Republic. The League also has an active roleplay and wiki.

Etymology

Quebecshire, as proven through an archived telegram, came up with the original name The League of Conservative Nations. After several years, the region had become more ideologically diverse, with centrist, liberal, and left-wing members increasing in government and in general. The LCN government decided in 2021 to move to The League because the conservative label no longer reflected the goals or overall ideology of the region and was potentially hindering recruitment efforts.

History

2016–2018

The League of Conservative Nations was founded on NationStates by Adawn and Quebecshire, marking the beginning of League history.

Reconstruction

By plebiscite, the government of the 3rd Constitution was dissolved, and the National Committee on Reconstruction was created to dramatically reform the government through the creation of the 4th constitution. Executive power was transferred from the elected office of president to the newly created unelected tripartite Consulate, and the legislature was established as the Citizens Assembly.

Move to The League

In April 2021, The League of Conservative Nations became The League, both within its government as well as on NationStates. The regional population began a move to the new region which was completed within a month. Concurrently, The League began to integrate itself into Libcord, and perused a new foreign policy direction.

Establishment of Concord

Concord was established as a second region under The League's control on NationStates in June 2022.

Government and politics

Main article: Government of The league

The government is regulated by the Constitution of the Republic, which serves as the region's supreme legal document. The Constitution establishes the structure and responsibilities of both the Consulate and the Council. The Constitution has been amended an unknown number of times. Other agencies, collectively known as the executive departments, manage other elements of The League's government.

The League's Government comprises of two major entities:

  • Legislative: The unicameral Council of the Republic, made up of elected Council Delegates, votes on bills to create or reform new agencies, laws, or pass motions.
  • Executive/Judicial: The unelected Consulate of the Republic acts collectively to administer regional security, run the Court of the Republic, veto legislative bills before they become law if necessary, and appoint the Directors of the executive departments.

The Council Delegates are elected through a process of nomination and confirmation that occurs on a bimonthly/monthly basis.

Foreign affairs

Main articles: Foreign Affairs of The League and Director of Foreign Affairs

The League’s foreign affairs are handled by the Consulate and the Director of Foreign Affairs. They work to improve relations with partner regions, establish treaties with allied regions, and maintain open channels of information. A staff of diplomatic agents support the Director, particularly in distributing the monthly Foreign Affairs report and other diplomatic messages.

World Assembly participation

Main article: World Assembly delegates of the Republic

Military

Main articles: League's Defense Forces and General of the Defense Forces

The League’s military is known as the League’s Defense Force, and it has operated since 2016. In its current form as a stanch defender military, the LDF has over 800 updates with interregional defense organization Libcord. The current general of the LDF is Makasta, who has served for nearly a year in the position.

Culture

Main articles: Department of Culture and Director of Culture

Running cultural events is the purview of the Director of Culture, who runs the Department of Culture to pursue the betterment of the Republic through enriching its culture.

Culture

Roleplay (often abbreviated as RP) has been a part of the League since almost its inception. In September 2019, the League's longest running RP, known as the Terraconserva Worldbuilding RP, began. In addition to this, several regional minecraft servers have existed since 2019.
