History
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.
Administrative divisions
Lettuce is administratively divided into 6 states, which have a large degree of autonomy from the nation's capital. This division also reflects the different ethnicities and nationalities living the the territory: Gandharis, Japanese, Turkish, Spanish, Sanmarinese and Lettucians. These states in turn have their own subdivisions.

Politics
Political system
Legislative branch is vested in Lettucian National Assembly (Spanish: Asamblea Nacional) which consists of 30 members. Majority approval from Assembly is needed to pass legislation.
The members of the National Assembly are elected every 6 years. The 30 seats are elected directly through the proportional representation system whereby each state elects a set number of members to represent them in the Assembly. 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 10 members in the Assembly, while the least populous states of Kobayashi and Fatma 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.
