The Republic of Lehvant, commonly called Lehvant, is a federal semi-presidential democracy in the continent of Neria on Earth in the International Democratic Union.
Lehvant was officially recognized as a sovereign entity in 1969 at the end of the Great War when French forces relinquished control. Advocates for Lehvantian independence, notably under the leadership of the Lehvantian Liberation Committee, used tactics such as mass civil disobedience, boycotts, and demonstrations to mobilize around their anti-imperialist, democratic socialist ideology. However, French forces only agreed to evacuate Lehvant under the condition that the French-sanctioned Lehvantian National Union (LNU) would be formed to draft the country's founding constitution.
The founding consitutional text included references to many of the secular and egalitarian principles advocated by the Lehvantian Liberation Committee. Nowadays, many constitutional scholars interpret the text at largely being aimed at preserving France's cultural domination and sphere of influence in the region. The anti-imperialist and radical roots of Lehvantian independence movements were diminished in the constitution, and although demands for a secular independent state were included by the drafters of the constitution, the vague language of the text made Lehvantians fear for further restrictions on religious freedom. These fears would later materialize in the rise of political Islam in the country from 2015.
In 1974, public unrest and popular uprisings became mobilized once again over the proposal of a constitutional amendment to form a legislative branch giving France immense oversight and regulatory capabilities as well as the ability to nominate an Assembly Chairman whose vote would count as a tie-breaker. These protests were largely led by
