Provisional Republic of the Libertines (1836-1844)

Made up of several educated African-Arcadian lawyers, merchants, and politicians the Freedmen’s Council was the committee of individuals who governed the Free Republic of the Libertines from the union of Freedland and Liberty in 1836 to the establishment of the Free Republic of the Libertines in 1840. The Council, comprised of seven representatives, was officially led by a president, a role that rotated yearly between the members of the Council. Many of these representatives were Maurian-Arcadians who were born free, who had been educated in Arcadia, and who had moved to the Libertines upon hearing of its revolution. All seven members of the Council had served as President by the end of the Libertine Revolution in 1840, with the incumbent President of the Freedman's Council Joseph B. Freeman becoming the first President of the Free Republic of the Libertines in January 1840.


Free Republic of the Libertines (1844-1935)

Upon the creation of the Free Republic of the Libertines and its full independence from both ... and Arcadia, the leadership of the country changed from a directory to a constitutional federal republic modelled on Arcadia's. The President of the Libertines would be indirectly elected to a four-year term by the voting populace of the Libertines, initially free adult men who owned property, but later expanded to any man regardless of wealth and then anyone who had reached the voting age of eighteen. Despite there being no term limits when it came to the role of President, most Presidents ended their time in office after two terms out of tradition. Joseph B. Freeman, who was serving as President of the Freedmen’s Council, was elected as the first President of the Free Republic of the Libertines, narrowly defeating Benjamin Priest in the country's first election on the 11th of January 1844. Freeman went on to serve as an independent for three terms. He was followed by Philip Blanche Gaines, who also ran as an independent. By the end of Gaines’ tenure, several political parties had formed, such as the Whig Party (later the Democratic Party) and the Liberal Party. These parties would supply many leaders of the Libertines until the 1935 Coup at the hands of Noah Stonewall’s People's National Renaissance Party, which dissolved the First Free Republic of the Libertines.

National State of the Libertines (1935-1939)

The constitutional federal republic that had come to define the Free Republic of the Libertines had slowly been dismantled by President Noah Stonewall of the People's National Renaissance Party (PNRP). Making a public declaration on the 5th of October 1935 that socialists, Arcadians, and other powers had sought to usurp the government of the Libertines by planning a coup, Noah Stonewall disbanded the government with the help of his loyalist paramilitary forces and announced the creation of the National State of the Libertines, in which he would serve as dictator. Met with opposition by Arcadia and ..., Stonewall would instigate a war with ... in the hopes of taking back territory lost in the ... War of 1899. This instigation culminated in the Libertine Intervention, a short but brutal conflict that led to the toppling of Stonewall and his government, and the restoration of the Free Republic of the Libertines.
