Leszczawka, officially the Kingdom of Leszczawka, is a country in Central Argis. Leszczawka has a population of 37 million, and is divided into 17 administrative provinces called voivodeships, covering an area of 322,483 km2 (124,511 sq mi). Reszow is the nation's capital and largest metropolis. Other major cities include Połaniec, Warowni, Rohżnów, Kralec and Skotarsk. Leszczawka has a temperate transitional climate and its territory traverses the Central Argis Plain, extending from the Równywa Plains in the north to the Wielkagóra mountain range and in the south. The longest Leszczak river is the WysŁa River, and Leszczawka’s highest point is Mount Wysoké, situated in the Zielonagóra mountain range. The country is bordered by Ahrana to the north, Girkmand to the East, and ___ to the south.

The history of human activity on Leszczak soil dates to c. 10,000 BC. Culturally diverse throughout late antiquity, the region became inhabited by the tribal Leszczawie, who gave it its name in the early medieval period. The establishment of statehood in 979 coincided with a pagan ruler of the Leszczawka converting to Christianity under the auspices of the Orthodox Church. The Kingdom of Leszczawka emerged in 1032, and in 1571 was partitioned. The state was later unionised with Ahrana in 1714, cementing their longstanding association. Emerging as a modern nation state in 1822 following a war of independence.

Over the first one hundred years of its independence the Kingdom of Leszczawka sought the reclamation of lost lands and its territorial expansion, predominantly achieved following the 1849 civil wars, and during early 20th century up until the catastrophic civil war of 1934. The short-lived socialist republic that followed, beset by the ramifications of civil war, was toppled at the hands of a military Coup d'état and came to an end in 1941, when the imposition of a royalist dictatorship inaugurated a long period of authoritarian rule, marked by internal civil conflict and military dictatorship at league with the crown. From the 1950s through to the 1970s, Leszczawka achieved record economic growth, enabling it to join the ranks of developed nations across the globe.

Democracy was restored once again restored following the death of King Jarek III Svetozar Leszek-Czartoryska and the succession of king Borisław VII Stojan Leszek-Czartoryska in 1978, becoming a parliamentary monarchy. However, since the 1989 elections until the recent 2023 general election, the Leszczawka Socialist Party (Leszczawie Partia Socjalistyczna) had maintained a firm hold over the nations parliament and its politics, and in the early two-thousands was responsible for poor economic management which lead to a national recession in 2008 and widespread institutional corruption.

Leszczawka is a parliamentary monarchy, with its bicameral legislature comprising the Noble Diet and the Common Diet. It is a developing market and a high income economy. Although many living in less developed regions lack access to higher income and modern services, the majority of its population, especially inside the nations cities receive a high standard of living, safety and economic freedom, as well as free university education and a universal health care system.

Government and Politics

The Kingdom of Leszczawka is sovereign state beneath a constitutional monarchy. Their current monarch and head of state is King Borisław VII Stojan Leszek-Czartoryska, in whom is vested all executive authority. The disposition of such powers however, including those belonging to the royal prerogative, is generally exercised only on the advice of ministers of the Crown responsible to Parliament and thence to the electorate. Nevertheless, in the performance of executive duties, the monarch has "the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, and the right to warn". In addition, the monarch has a number of reserve powers at his disposal in order to uphold responsible government and prevent constitutional crises. These reserve powers are particularly relevant to the appointment of a prime minister, preventing unconstitutional use of the British Armed Forces, the prorogation and dissolution of Parliament, the enactment of legislation, and conferring state honours.

The prime minister is the head of government in the Kingdom of Leszczawka. The prime minister is, by constitutional convention, a member of parliament elected by his/her elective locality (county). The prime minister is appointed by the monarch and their appointment is governed by constitutional conventions. However, they are normally the leader of the political party with the most seats in the Common Diet (Wspólny Zgromadzenie) and hold office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the Common Diet. The current Prime Minister, as of May 2023, is Nikolaz Witowich of the United Front party.

Parliament

The government of the Kingdom of Leszczawka is a parliamentary democracy operating by the authority of the crown, otherwise known as a "democratic parliamentary monarchy". The Parliament of Lesczawka is sovereign and made up of the Common Diet, the Noble Diet and the Crown. The main functioning of parliament occurs within these two houses, but royal assent is required for a bill to become an act of parliament (law).

Per general election for the Common Diet, Leszczawka is divided into 375 counties (grófstva), each of which is represented by a member of Parliament (MP). MPs hold office for up to 5 years years and are always up for re-election in general elections. The United Front party, Sovereign Leszczawka party and New Labour party are, respectively, the current first, second and third largest parties (by number of MPs) in the Common Diet.

The Noble Diet, historically assembled in times of national crisis, today is permanently comprised of the unelected Leszczawkan nobility, who may only be appointed or removed from the Diet by the Sovereign. Their constitutional power prevents them from the creation and amendment of parliamentary law. However, they maintain the power to restrict the passing of any proposed law for up to a year, and act as an advisory board for the Common Diet, as many lorded men and women whom were previously unladed have served within the government or social services, and are considered experts within their respective professional fields.

Administrative Divisions

Leszczawka is divided into 17 provinces or states known as voivodeships. As of 2022, the voivodeships are subdivided into 375 counties (grófstva), which are further fragmented into 2,280 municipalities (gminas). Major cities normally have the status of both gmina and powiat. The provinces are largely founded on the borders of historic regions, cities and towns. Administrative authority at the voivodeship level is shared between a government-appointed governor (voivode), an elected regional assembly (sejmik) and a voivodeship marshal, an executive elected by the assembly.
