History

The signatories of Treaty of Vola, Ahmed Assiri (left) and Carlos Ibáñez del Campo (right).

The Lettucian governorate has separated from Gandhara through the Lettucian Independence Act, signed on 15 August 1957 in response to the Gandhari Revolution. The population, mostly Christian, feared the loss of several privileges that were granted under the Al-Mansur dynasty.

After a couple of months of negotiations, the new Gandhari Goverment and the Goverment of the First Lettucian Republic agreed on the terms under which Lettuce would become independent, while Gandhara would keep access to the sea. The conclusions of the negotiations were listed in the Treaty of Vola signed on 14 May 1958 by the President of Gandhara, Ahmed Assiri, and the Prime Minister of Lettuce, Carlos Ibáñez del Campo.

Lettuce is administratively divided into 6 states, which have a large degree of autonomy from the nation's capital.

These states in turn have their own subdivisions.

The number of members representing a state is determined by the population within that state. For example, the most populous state of Hugo Chávez has 5 members in the Assembly, while the least populous provinces of Bakka and Fatmagül has 3 representatives each.

Following the most recent general election in January 2016, the current prime minister is Camila Vallejo of the Communist Party of Lettuce.
