The Liberal and Centre Union (LCU) was founded in 2365 by various small libertarian and centrist groups and former members of the Moderate Party in the Free Republic of Dorvik who did not defect to the Green Coalition. It was founded by former airline executive Geoffrey Harstad and had its first annual conference in July 2365 in Mannerheim. The Liberal and Centre Union considers itself the continuation of the libertarian tradition in Dorvik and is currently trying to promote itself inside Dorvish politics. The LCU has been a member of the DCMLU since 2367.
