It has been governed by the Government of New Lacuseum since its founding and is a founding member of the Imperial Union.

### Liberty of Arctic/Lacusian Republic of Arctic

The Liberty of Arctic was annexed into NL Territory on 12 February 2023, and the former territories of the Republic were transferred into the Arctic Lacusian Autonomous Territories. The territory is self-governing, with the NL Imperial Government only making decisions on international and foreign affairs.

## Structure

All Lacusian Citizens are drafted into the Imperial Armed Forces of The Sovereign Military Order of New Lacuseum as cadets at the age of 18. After completing their 3 year long training, citizens are enlisted to the Armed Forces as complete soldiers. Since all citizens are soldiers, civilian and military life are integrated in NL with citizens being able to enjoy all aspects of civilian life while serving the country. This system of merged civilian and military service creates a highly militarised state with a large, skilled workforce and an equally large and organised army.
