Early Settlements
In the late 1600's the country Liberal had adopted a more imperialistic title, The Unified Constitute of Liberal Republic since during the next 150 years they would conquer weaker tribes and nations such as Present Day Yah, Wah, Evene Evil, Tasvolkia, Orlen, Bookerow, and Antonlom. During this time they had also conquered a chunk of uncharted land in which it remained unsettled until the 1850's in which the TUCLR had established a settlement doctrine authorizing citizens from New Britain, New Canada, and The Neverines to settle in a portion of the land without government interference. The settlers therefore could establish their own local jurisdictions and laws pertaining to their settlements only. Mark Halvburg, the then Vice President was responsible for implementing the doctrine.

Territory of New Canada
During the 1870's the settlement territory was purchased by New Canada From TUCLR for at least $NC 10 Million. From there on, New Canada would have governance over its new acquire territory, unlike before where the settlers had pure self-governance. At first, the settlers did not mind being governed by an emerging foreign imperial power. As a few years went by however, the settlers began to miss their independence and therefore attempted to speak with the territorial governor, Timothy Can Wallace, about proposing an independence treaty. After some persuasion, it ended in failure, as the governor was not willing to surrender a New Canadian Territory into the hands of some settlers. A couple of years later, at least 1,000 settlers attempted to take over the territorial governor house in order to violently gain back their independence. At least 100 guards from the New Canadian military were killed. Once the rebellious settlers gained entry inside, the governor was not present, much to their disappointment. He had evacuated at least 20 miles from the house, making it possible that he was aware of the upcoming attack. When the neighboring country, Liberal, heard of this news, they quickly promoted New Canada to install a better governor into the settlement territory to maintain good New Canadian and Liberal relations. New Canada listened. Therefore, in 1878 when the settlers negotiated with the governor for independence, he allowed an independence treaty to be signed, forcing New Canada to give it up. The tiny settlement area was then established into the independent nation of LC, having a Federal Constitutional Republic and a neocapitalist economic system. Its first president was William Tater Havershantom who served from 1878-1896. More of the LC government and its military was created in similar fashion to other powerful and wealthy nations comprised of a Legislature with a senate and representatives of the counties and a supreme court comprised of nine justices and one chief justice. These things were soon outlined into the LC Constitution to prevent abuse of power between its three branches of government, again, in similar fashion to the other wealthy and powerful nations.
