Liberal Monarchist Bloc

The Liberal Monarchist Bloc (LMB) is a geo-political and diplomatic union of four sovereign kingdoms and Commonwealth realms, which was formed on 1 February 2013 by Cattala, Lower Columbia and Sainte-Croix, and later New Holland, Kingston and Boyce and observer member Northern Veratlantia. It was created as a diplomatic pressure group in an effort to unify the foreign policy of leading liberal kingdoms in the AIN.

The Liberal Monarchist Headquarters are located in international territory in Celeste, Cattala, with further main offices in Lower Columbia and Sainte-Croix. The organization is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states, and has one official language, English.

Membership Requirements
Members of the bloc have to be constitutional monarchies or Commonwealth realms. Cattala, Northern Veratlantia, Lower Columbia, and Sainte-Croix are constitutional monarchies, whilst New Holland has Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. Kingston and Boyce has a wholly elected constitutional monarchy. All member states are legally bound to have a democratically-elected government and an indepedent judiciary. To join, members need to support the defining principles of the movement: a right to self-determination, independence, sovereignty, democracy and a commitment to the "eventual" abolition of capital punishment.

Benefits of membership
States that participate in the Liberal Monarchist group have reduced visa and immigration controls, greater access to shared High Commissions and embassies, a more unified foreign policy with allies and a stronger voice in the Alliance Security Council.
