'''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]].

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 likely hindered recruitment efforts.

−
=== First government ===
+
=== 2016–2018 ===
−
The first government of The League was the government between Sunday, June 19, 2016, which was the ratification of the Icaris Constitution, to Friday
 
−
December 9, 2016, when the first constitution lost precedence.
 
  
−
=== Second government ===
+
The League of Conservative Nations was founded on NationStates by Adawn and Quebecshire, marking the beginning of League history.
−
A period from December 9, 2016, to September 12, 2017 defined by the adoption of the 2nd Constitution and the ratification of the 3rd Constitution.
 
−
==== LCN-CLA Conflict ====
 
−
The Conservative Liberty Alliance was formed by members of the Conservative Freedom Alliance who were angered by the referendum to merge with the LCN. The region was raided multiple times by the LCNAF.
 
  
−
=== Third government ===
+
=== Reconstruction ===
  
−
=== Fourth government ===
+
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 [[Constitution of the Republic|4th constitution]]. Executive power was transferred from the elected office of president to the newly created unelected tripartite [[Consulate of the Republic|Consulate]], and the legislature was established as the [[Citizens Assembly]].
  
−
==== UCN-LCN conflict ====
+
=== Move to The League ===
−
{{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.
 
  
−
Soon after, government officials joined after API telegrams to the LCN from the UCN continued, unabated in spite of a UCN guarantee of the contrary. Within the LCN's government, the council was recalled, Fandom was recalled as Prime Minister, Eminople was elected to the post of Prime Minister, and regional political parties fixated on a strong response to the UCN's actions.  
+
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.
  
−
Towards the end of the LCN-UCN war, the UCN's parliamentary government had revolted, the royal assembly had been infiltrated, and over 30 nations within the region were LCN-controlled puppet accounts. [[Operation Iron Justice]], set up by the consulate and then PM [[Eminople (politician)|Eminople]], tagged the region. After a few weeks, the region ceased to exist, and was refounded by Quebecshire.
+
=== Establishment of Concord ===
  
−
==== Farkasfalkan conflict ====
+
[[Concord]] was established as a second region under The League's control on NationStates in June 2022.
−
{{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 existed 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 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>

{{Main|Government of The league}}
  
−
==== LCN-FCN disturbances ====
+
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>
−
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 ====
+
The League's Government comprises of two major entities:<br>
−
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.
 
  
−
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.
+
* 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.

=== Current governance ===
+
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.
−
==== 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).

==== Consulate of the Republic ====
+
=== World Assembly participation ===

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 five [[Consulate of the Republic#Former_Consuls|ex-consuls]]. Three resigned (one being unwelcome shortly thereafter), one was dismissed, and one was removed. There have been three Chief Consuls of the Republic, with Quebecshire serving over three years in the position, Terranihil holding it for a somewhat shorter period, and Creeper now serving as the incumbent.

−
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> While PLI has not been officially dissolved, its last military action was conducted in 2016, and it is generally considered defunct.

−
==== FORGE ====
 
−
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>.

{{Main|Gentlemen's Coalition}}
 
−
The Gentlemen's Coalition was a R/D partnership between the LCN, the FCN, the Republic of Free Nations, and Redlandia, which participated in several raids against fascists on NS. The coalition eventually fell apart amid tensions between 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.

=== Historic isolationism ===
 
−
[[File:Sword Ballot.jpg|thumb|alt=SWORD Negotiation Ballot|Ballot from the failed SWORD Referendum]]
 
−
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 roots of this can be found in Icaris's 2016 run for president, where one of his platforms was 'localism' (known more broadly on NationStates as regionalism)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=671058|title=Icaris-UKD platform}}</ref>.

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.

Originally established as almost a separate entity from the government, the military of the LCN was gradually put under the control of the presidency. Eventually, the military was split into two separate branches, with the ''Homeland Security Agency'' serving as security service for handling domestic threats, whereas the ''Armed Forces'' served for taking on foreign enemies.
 
−
 
 
−
In later times, the LCN military was reestablished through a bill written by Neo Polisophos.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=30620010|title=Neo's military bill}}</ref> The structure of the League's military consisted of a Director of Defense who acted as both an advisor and as a commander. Within the League's Defense Administration, '''LDA''', the director managed two branches, known as the League Intelligence Agency '''LIA''', and the League's Defense Forces '''LDF'''.

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.
