Editing Lauchenoiria (section)

===Communist Lauchenoiria===

Capitalism was still highly unpopular in Lauchenoiria until the 2010 election, when the Liberal Party became the main opposition. The fall in support of communism was accompanied by a large population drain as emigration increased. In 2006, the population was estimated as 39.1 million, whereas in 2016 it was 34.2 million. Some experts have suggested the mass emigration was a result of tourists visiting the country with modern technology that Lauchenoirians could not afford.

Support for independence on the island of Aeluria grew briefly in 2007, and the provincial government discussed holding a referendum on independence. However, following the economic crisis in 2008, support fell again drastically and no action was taken on the part of the Aelurian government. In May 2018, the Aelurian Provincial Government unilaterally declared independence. This declaration of independence was not recognised by most countries, and was later withdrawn.
