The Cooperative Commonwealth of New Leganés, Oblivion Islands and Shoneria commonly known as the Cooperative Commonwealth, CCNL or simply New Leganés (njuː le.ɣa.ˈne:s), is a nation, located on Urth, which consists of several islands near the equator in the South Concordian Ocean, between the continents of Gondwana and Arcturia. The New Leganés people call themselves "Cukishes", and so the native language, Cukish, which is a mixed language from Spanish and Taurillien. New Leganes shares borders with Shango to the northeast, and East Cerdani to the southwest.

Etymology

Several theories exist about the name of New Leganés. The tradition establishes an etymology from Alég Mainéas, the father of Nepámir, the legendary leader of the Nári. The name of the first town founded by Nepámir was Lipát Alég Mainéasle Kárt, literally "the New Town in honour of Alég Mainéas" and it would have been located on Fórnstell. However, there's no archaeological evidence of such town, and the first properly Cukish-considered towns appeared on Rhúnstell. Consequently, nowadays the name of Nepámir's father is considered by most experts to be made specifically to bring an etymology, not being an original name itself.

This is, however, the only certainty about the origin of the term "New Leganés". In the earliest references to the term, it appears usually as "Livalénqasia", and this is often taken as the basis to search for an etymology. Thus, this "Livá", which means "New" in Cukish, wouldn't be nothing but a false cut, and such "Livá" should be included in the original root.

Politics

New Leganés is constituted as a Cooperative Commonwealth, according to 1920's constitution. It emphasises on the term "Cooperative" in the literal meaning of "to operate at the same time": each constituency and division has the same amount of power as the ones in their same level. In this way, the constitution defines three areas of administration; these are regional, district and national.

The regional power is held by each Commonwealth Regions' administrations. Usually each region is defined as "an area of predefined common geographical and cultural characteristics that includes a settlement defined as "city" by the Commonwealth Law for Major Settlements". Hence, the Cooperative Commonwealth does not include municipalities in its administrative system, and delegations from the region's government are in charge of lesser settlements' administration. Regional elections are called by the Commonwealth Government in a period of minimum three years and maximum 4 years, although each region can request the Commonwealth Government to call for elections if it has been previously approved by its Regional Senate. The capital city of the Cooperative Commonwealth, Privétia Tauríllien, is meant to be on the next higher administrative level, so its internal divisions, the Departments, are the ones included in the regional level.

The next level of power is held by the District Deputies, which are also the members of the Commonwealth Government, the highest representation of the Cooperative Commonwealth. There are seven districts: two per archipelago and one for Privétia Tauríllien, the only city that is included in this level and not in the regional one. In this last case, the Major acts as Deputy for the Capital District. The other districts are Fórndinge and Rhúnstell in New Leganés, Láçerins and Matrélik in the Oblivion Islands, and Shoneria Occidental and Shoneria Oriental in Shoneria. Each deputy is elected in Commonwealth elections within a three years period and must be approved by the regional presidents, which are forced by law to do so. The most basic capacity the Commonwealth Government has is acting as Head of State, hence representing the Cooperative Commonwealth in the international scale or naming the person to do so. The Deputies are also in charge of ratifying the National Government and the regional presidents, acting as the de iure maximum body of the Cooperative Commonwealth.

The de facto maximum level of administration and the executive power's holder is the National Government. The National Government is composed by the Ministers and their leader, the Prime Minister. The Commonwealth Senate, holder of the legislative power, appoints the National Government, usually after a Senatorial election, held every 3 years maximum. After them, the Senate presents candidacies, from which the one with more than half of the Senators' votes is appointed to form the National Government. Before each Senate Election a Confidence Vote is held, this being a referendum of approval among the Cukish citizenship regarding the previous National Government. It can only be passed if the government is approved by more than half of the total population that is allowed to vote. It has only been successful 3 times in history, the most recent being 2016 Karnéias' Confidence Vote. After that, the appointed National Government must be ratfied by the Commonwealth Government and give account monthly to both the Commonwealth Government and Senate.

The current National Government is a coalition of the catch-all party Civic Union and the centre-right Liberals, appointed by the Commonwealth Senate after the 2019 New Leganés Senatorial Elections and led by Prime Minister Areuína Karnéias.
