Liberalia, officially the Republic of Liberalia is a city state located off the coast of California, United States. It was established in 1983 by the National Progress Party. It claims to be a democracy, but in practice is a dominant party system. Liberalia developed a distinctive identity, in that, most citizens of Liberalia did not considered themselves American, but Liberalian. This increased tenfold when Mayor James H. Rubinstein was elected into office. He established the National Progress Party, the dominant party today and the party responsible for bringing independence to Liberalia.
