{{For|Gabon's successor in [[CivMC]]|Pavia}}
'''Gabon''', commonly known as '''Gabon''' ('''/ɡəˈbɒn/),''' is an independent nation in the northwest quadrant. The mainland of Gabon is situated adjacent to the Coral Sea and the Sea of Crete. The nation borders [[Icenia]] to the east across the Dover Strait and [[Varkonia]] to the west across the Bay of Hope. In addition, Gabon includes more than 7 islands; principally off to the east and south. Most of the population, including the capital [[Salisbury|Salisbury,]] is concentrated in the central belt – the forest plain between the northern mountains and southern snow-plains.

The 10th of June 2018 marked the creation of the state of Gabon as a result of the discovery of the uninhabited landmass by [[Tvman999]] and the subsequent claim of the land by [[GetSkinny]] who would become the Queen of Gabon shortly thereafter. Through the issuance of letters patent by The Queen, the Principality of Gabon was formed with the initial sole settlement of Salisbury.<ref>https://gabon.vercel.app/announcement/establishment-of-the-land-claim-of-the-principality-of-gabon/</ref>
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
Balmoral would require such a vast amount of concrete that new industries would have to be structured from the ground up in order to support the demand. Glass smelters and concrete factories were planned and constructed in Salisbury and Bakerswood to aid in the erection of Balmoral Castle. However the project would eventually run into a brick wall due to budget constraints and a skilled labour shortage, with the construction halting just after the first floor of Balmoral.
The city would expand at a slowed pace for the remainder of 2018 due to the limited resources left over, however development continued on road systems and more housing in the eastern portion of the Capital.
[[File:RegionOfferedToGabonByAlpoko.png|left|thumb|171x171px|This map represents the offer that Alpoko sent to the negotiations, with red representing Alpoko's claim and Pink representing Gabon's.]]
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
Initially both Gabon and Alpoko began discussions over finding a solution, each state understandably wanted their claim to surround their settlement and cities. Negotiation would be difficult however as Salisbury and the Alpokoan capital were only separated by 500 blocks, and the entirety of Gabon existed within the old claims of Alpoko. Gabon would offer to un-claim the southern portion of it's territory below the canal, which held the capital of Alpoko.
However Alpoko would counter this offer with its own attempt at redistricting and when those talks fell through, Gabon would reach out to Bloom to become involved in the crisis as a third-party arbitrator. This invitation to Bloom worked out well for the land negotiations and ground began to be made on diplomatic efforts on the idea to create a zone of financial co-operation between the three parties and commitments were made to developing the region together, although a final land claim for both Alpoko and Gabon was yet to be agreed upon
Alpoko would not compromise on its beliefs that most of Gabon should be returned to Alpoko and that a third of the leftover Gabonese territory in Bakerswood be turned into the zone of financial corporation, mutually administrated by Alpoko, Bloom and Gabon.
Gabon was apprehensive to give away a majority of its land, especially since the land above the Cottingham canal had been empty prior to the development of Salisbury and now they were expected to part with not only a large portion of their claim but submit a portion to be mutually administrated. Despite this, the Gabonese privy council was heavily considering the offer and was open to the idea of economic cooperation and collective contribution to the region.
Bloom agreed with Gabon, heavily emphasising during the negotiations that the economical promises and financial zone was the key to keeping the negotiations going. During the negotiations, Bloom would even offer a portion of their own land, part of a nether island to be given to Alpoko alongside Gabon's offer. [[File:RegionOfferedToBothPartiesByBloom.png|thumb|243x243px|This map displays the arbitrated offer that Bloom reached with both parties, with purple representing Gabon, red representing Alpoko's new claims and Bloom in the green.]]Gabon would approach Varkonia on the 14th of July, its western neighbour and sought support to its claim to the region, although Varkonia explicitly expressed no interest in getting involved, the Red Duke of Varkonia commented to the Gabonese delegation that the mutually administered region sounded like a bad idea. Unbeknownst to Gabon, Alpoko had also approached Varkonia looking for support to return to their prior claims over the whole region. The Varkonian Senate would conclude internally that, while Alpoko had a right to come back and exist, Alpoko did not have a right to remove Gabon's settlement, which had been established for months in previously undeveloped land, and that negotiations were needed to draw a new border without shared administration.
Bloom would arbitrate between Gabon and Alpoko further, and would offer a portion of its own territory into the new deal. This proposed claims map was accepted by all parties involved and treaties began to be drafted initialising the land transfer.

==== The Political Union between Gabon and Varkonia ====
{{Main|Varkonia}}
This also saw the dissolution of the royal family of Gabon, including the Privy Council. Gabon became a unitary republic as a Varkonian province. In the place of the privy council, the Assembly of the Province of Gabon was created as a provincial government. The head of the Assembly, the Grand Prince, was initially The Queen. The privy councillors continued their duties as members of the Assembly. As an oligarchy, the Grand Prince had power to appoint and remove members of the Assembly at will. This treaty also saw the appointment of two members of the Assembly of Gabon to the Senate of Varkonia, these two senators representing Gabon would initially be Grand Prince GetSkinny and Chancellor BritishWanderer.
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
The reaction to the transition of government was met by positive outpouring by the citizenry of both nations who saw it as two sister nations joining together, with many citizens of both countries holding dual residency of both states. This made the relationship between both countries intertwined, Varkonian flags were quickly added to prominent focal points around the Capital with government buildings gladly displaying the Varkonian flag alongside its Gabonese counterpart. [[File:Grand duchy.png|left|367x367px|Pictured: Borders of a unified nation-state between Gabon and Varkonia.

Immediately after the signing of the treaty, the government of Varkonia agreed to aid in the funding of an eastern defensive structure within the Capital of Salisbury. This was in conjunction with citizens of Varkonia funding the construction of an updated rail station in Salisbury, the station went from three one-way lines to eight possible two-way connections to multiple countries in the northwest quadrant. The station is adorned with the Varkonian national flag alongside the Gabonese standard to reflect the contribution that was made towards to the construction.

=== UNC Political Era - August 2018 - July 2019 ===
With the political union of Varkonia & Gabon, the Grand Duchy of Varkonia was quick to assure neighbouring states that Varkonia would gladly take up any responsibilities in all treaties previously signed by Gabon. This action would set out the course for leaders from both Gabon and Varkonia to draft a mutual defence charter which would lead to the foundation of the [[United Northern Congress]].
==== Formation of The United Northern Congress ====
Line 103 ⟶ 109:
By October 2018, His Majesty, Grand Prince GetSkinny, had been out of the public eye for over two months. The duties that would normally be undertaken by the Grand Prince were being added to the daily tasks of The Lord High Chancellor and his councillors. This extra burdening workload began to cause the stagnation of Gabon which was felt throughout the country, with the council behind on their normal duties, food production and welfare handouts fell to an all-time low. Although republicanism was not unheard of prior to this point, it grew to unprecedented levels among the citizenry and members of the provincial assembly around this time. October would also see the peaceful '''Green Flag Protests''' which saw citizens take to the streets wearing green banners to express their discontent with the monarchy and the government of Gabon. Green banners were used as a meaning for a fresh start, with some radicals suggesting this did not end at reforms for a constitutional monarchy but should result in the ending of the monarchy altogether.
Around the same time in Varkonia, members of the Varkonian Senate were charged with numerous criminal offences in the courts of [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]] leaving Gabon awash in shame, striking at the heart of the connection between the sister nations. The Lord High Chancellor BritishWanderer and councillor Gobblin would meet with the Red Duke Mickale of Varkonia to the concern of the growing republicanism and the worry that armed response may be required should it come to a boiling point, the Red Duke agreed to provide military support and privately endorsed the Chancellor to lead the nation instead of Grand Prince GetSkinny if the situation were to lead to a civil war. Mickale would go on to provide assurances relating to the criminal offences levied against multiple senators in Varkonia by MTA courts, alleviating the worries of BritishWanderer and Gobblin.
In early November, Grand Prince GetSkinny, returned to a nation seemingly divided. Disagreements had broke out within the Assembly of the Provincial Government of Gabon on how to respond to the dissatisfaction with the actions of Varkonia, alongside heated debates of government reform. The Prince's return was coldly received by her citizenry, including her own government who had seen the rising costs of funding the monarch's private lavish lifestyle without any visible benefit to the nation.

|}As the initial vote came to a close, The Grand Prince proclaimed to the Assembly that she felt that with the 40% support that there was reason to call for immediate independence. This declaration sent the opposing councillors into an uproar, calling for an official vote to respect the 50% threshold. The atmosphere inside of the voice chamber quickly became one of fury and chaos. In order to quickly quash the mayhem within the Assembly, the Prince called for a second referendum on independence within the Assembly.
During second vote, the Lord High Chancellor
The final vote was ruled in favour of the union,
However the Grand Prince would take the stand before the Assembly and informed them that she would be issuing a royal decree to declare independence herself<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/9vg635/declaration_of_intention_of_gabon_to_withdraw/</ref>, effectively ignoring previous votes and the will of her Assembly. This was an unprecedented move, and whilst permitted by the laws and the government system in place, it had never been undertaken in such a manner before in Gabon's history. The Lord High Chancellor, who was once seen as the most loyal member of Her Majesty's Assembly was the first to speak harshly against this action. In the mist of the anger felt by the Assembly, the Chancellor controversially called for a vote to unseat the ruling monarch and replace the Grand Prince with himself.

On July 2nd 2019, news broke that the Lord High Chancellor of Gabon, BritishWanderer as well as numerous other high-ranking Varkonian officials had been involved in the pearling of the Corvus' head of state, a fellow ally and voting member of the UNC. UNC emergency meetings were held internally, in which the Red Duke of Varkonia attempted to explain his reasonings for his government's actions and whilst initally receptive, the congress of 8 other nation states turned to either neutrality or general dissatisfaction with Varkonia's actions.
The Varkonian senate would privately discuss leaving the UNC, realizing that the UNC had rendered itself ineffective with a bad-actor member in the form of Corvus, and members who were unwilling to commit to difficult choices in order to prevent large-scale war from breaking out. The King of Nox proposed the vote to leave the UNC.
The Senate unanimously agreed, and the law passed. On July 3, 2019, Varkonia, and as such, Gabon left the UNC. The resulting drama, chaos, and confusion left the UNC in a crippled state, and it would dissolve fully shortly thereafter on the 13th of July 2019.
=== Infinity War Era - July 2019 - October 2020 ===
==== Involvement in the Infinity War ====
{{Main|Infinity War}}
Line 234 ⟶ 249:
===== Aftermath =====
The actions taken by the leadership of Gabon during this period would be controversial amongst some citizens and Gabonese council members, most notably being her ex-majesty, GetSkinny, who would push through the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/neutrality-non-alignment-and-anti-war-solidification-act/ Neutrality Act] on the 29th of February 2020. The Neutrality Act's intention was to prevent the leadership of Gabon from being able to take provocative actions without prior approval in any conflict and to prevent any form of lend-lease or sale of goods to any country in a state of conflict.
==== Independence Movement ====
Independence was not foreign to the minds of Gabonese citizens, with the topic being discussed numerous points throughout the union
Previous leadership discussions on independence were held throughout the Infinity War, with the Gabonese Chancellors being told that an independent Gabon in the middle of the war would be incredibly damaging to state unity and public perception of Varkonia. The Chancellors of Gabon agreed with this assessment and decided to leave independence off of the table until the war was won.
The Infinity war would be declared won on the 19th of July 2020, with the collapse of the Litterbox Vault. In celebration of the coalition's victory and to ensure political stability, Chancellor BritishWanderer would announce upcoming Council elections in September 2020.
===== Referendum =====
In the run-up to the 2nd Council Election of Gabon in September 2020 immense campaigning took place on the topic of Independence from Varkonia. Gobblin and BritishWanderer had decided not to run for the Varkonian Senate in the Varkonian elections which were occurring at the same time – this decision triggered a treaty crisis due to Article 9 ''Representation on the Senate.'' Whilst underneath the surface and unbeknownst to much of the public, the Gabonese Chancellors had entered talks with Varkonia about invoking Article 10 ''Gabon may Withdraw.''
Both sides amicably agreed to have the populace of Gabon hold a referendum on independence.
The GNP and newly founded POG party encouraged voters to choose to leave the union whilst Shadowwyn-backed politicians stood behind Varkonia and insisted reform was the answer to what was seen as an unrepresentative cumbersome system in Varkonia.
Line 279 ⟶ 300:
===== Aftermath =====
This result was seen as a surprise the Varkonian government, especially to those who had been kept out of the loop of general leadership discussions. The Speaker of the Senate for Varkonia would go on to call Gabon's actions 'snakey' and would lambast Gabonese individuals for their actions in the independence movement, although the Red Duke would reassure the Gabonese Government that these were not the opinions of the entire government.
Following the vote to leave the union, the Gabonese government hoped to maintain an amicable relationship, and to underline the general understanding of there being no ill will between the two states. The Gabonese Government would send two documents over to the Government of Varkonia to formalise relations and to work co-operatively regarding XP production. The Gabonese were appreciative to the leadership of Varkonia who had assisted them in their journey to independence, and were grateful to be allowed continued access to XP infrastructure in Varkonia for a short period, which would stem any instability and economic turmoil.
On the 7th of October, an XP treaty and a friendship treaty would pass both the Gabonese Government and the Varkonian Governments, with official relations turning positive once more.

Gabon has both an elected Head of State and Head of Government, advised by an elected Lord's Council that enacts the law. The current Constitution of Gabon was adopted in [https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQL3lsjJgja2nD0ecnMFNXHM7-2ioikjjDXUvdr1ciI55ybPgh14k8e64L5YBKNp6eZSjG2XQlDT-q-/pub September 2021]<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQL3lsjJgja2nD0ecnMFNXHM7-2ioikjjDXUvdr1ciI55ybPgh14k8e64L5YBKNp6eZSjG2XQlDT-q-/pub</ref>which replaced the previous Chancellery Constitution of 2020<ref>https://gabon.vercel.app/law/constitution-of-gabon-act/</ref>. Prior to these constitutions, Gabon was governed under the Chancellery Act of 2019 <ref>https://gabon.vercel.app/law/chancellery-act/</ref>.
No Government member may hold another government position in Gabon or internationally, excepting that of mayoralty positions.
=== The Lord High Chancellor & Vice Chancellor ===
The Lord High Chancellor is the Head of State and represents Gabon in its international relations. The Chancellor may also give and take away residency, and is the overseer of the Sovereign fund. The Lord High Chancellor wields a vote on the Lord's Council, and may propose new legislation.
Executive authority is vested in a joint government body compromising of both the Head of State (Lord High Chancellor) and Head of Government (Vice Chancellor).
The Vice Chancellor has the ability to appoint ministers to the Cabinet to undertake duties relevant to their portfolio
=== The Lord's Council ===
Legislative authority is vested in the unicameral Lord's Council, made up of typically 3 members elected whenever 5 or more citizens petition to hold an ordinary election as per article 3 of the constitution. Councillors are then elected via a semi-FPTP system. Candidates must receive enough votes to be placed in the top 3 candidates to become a councillor. Both the Head of State and Head of Government hold seats on the Lord's Council.
The Lord's Council elects from citizenry an Electoral Commissioner. The Electoral Commissioner is charged with performing functions of Council supervision and must undertake the duties required to hold referendums and general elections.
Line 302 ⟶ 328:
Judicial authority is vested in the Lord's Council, The Lord's Council rules on the conformity of laws with the constitution.
==== Lord's Council Elections in Gabon ====
Unfortunately due to the burning of records after the Gabon Civil War (Deletion of the old Gabon discord) all prior councils are lost to time and as such the following elections and councils will be post Civil War period.
====== First Council Election of Gabon ======
The First Election of the Lord's Council of Gabon was held on Sunday, the 17th of December 2018. The Lord High Chancellor would appoint three trusted advisors to the position of Councillor during this period and would bar the general public from voting.

====== Second Council Election of Gabon ======
The Second Election of the Lord's Council of Gabon was held on Monday, the 25th of November to Sunday, the 27th of November 2019. This is the first election in which the citizenry of Gabon would be able to vote and participate in the democratic process.
Citizens voted using a method of first-past-the-post in which the three candidates with the highest vote totals would receive a seat in the Lord's Council, citizens were asked to pick three choices from the candidate list for council. The Elections were announced by the Lord High Chancellor on the 21st of November 2019, with the results being declared on the 27th November 2019. The citizens of Gabon would elect her ex-majesty, GetSkinny back into Government for the first time since the Civil War, seen as a forgiving statement by the electorate. Zyra_Bot would also be elected for the first time, with Tvman retaining his council position.
This was the first election to contain a political party, with the GNP (Gabon National Party) fielding two candidates.

====== Third Council Election of Gabon ======
The Third Election of the Lord's Council of Gabon was on Thursday, the 10th of September to Monday, the 14th of September 2020.
The Third Council Elections would take place 10 months after the previous democratic display, this was mainly due to the Electoral (Pandemic Postponement) Amendment Act of 2020<ref>https://gabon.vercel.app/law/electoral-pandemic-postponement-amendment-act/</ref> which postponed elections indefinitely '''—''' the act would be repealed on the 3rd of September with the Lord High Chancellor announcing elections to take place the following day. Results would be declared on the 14th of September 2020. Citizens were asked to pick three choices from the candidate list for council, the same as previous elections.
This election saw the first showing by Shadowwyn-backed candidates, a corporation with it's own compound in the north of Gabon.
Citizens would return GetSkinny to the council, however they would evict the other two GNP incumbents and replace them with Tiddy & Rclman, both of whom were quite new to Gabon but had already been industrious in creating the suburb of Swanmore alongside Gobblin.

Citizens would be asked to vote in the same manner as the previous two elections. The Lord High Chancellor would declare the results on the 30th of November 2020.
This election would see the popularisation of political parties and their use in encouraging voters and drumming up support, with the newly founded POG party taking in much of the vote.
The citizens would elect newcomer FKA_Twink to Council, as well as the first Shadowwyn-backed candidate to receive a government position, Skullicus. The populace would also return Tiddy1806 to his seat.

The NMP and LOG party swept the Council election results, with huge public support for their proposals and promises. The GNP ran no candidates in the council election in order to focus entirely on the Chancellor elections. The turnout was considerably low in comparison to previous elections held, thought in party to the mass change in demographics between this election and the previous one. For the first time in Gabonese history, the GNP became a minority political party.
BritishWanderer & Gobblin decided to run for the positions of Lord High Chancellor and Vice Chancellor together once more, titles they had both held since the end of the civil war.

The first council session would end up voting on 12 separate propositions over the 11 month period.
Responsible for the mass-funding of the arts, culture and education, the first council session and its councillor's influence has permeated throughout society.

The second Council of Gabon would cause controversy with its first proposition, [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/electoral-pandemic-postponement-amendment-act/ the electoral postponement act 2020] which would be enacted just prior to the March 2020 elections and would prevent any democratic acts from taking place until its repealing in September 2020. In spite of this, the second session would however remain instrumental in drafting important legislation such as the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/neutrality-non-alignment-and-anti-war-solidification-act/ Neutrality Act] and the adoption of the Varkonian Civil Service act which would go on to lay the groundwork for the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/gabon-public-service-act/ Gabon Public Service Act] and the constitutional amendment to include a Cabinet Office.
The second council session oversaw a rapid pace of construction that would see the city expand outside of its boundary wall with the foundation of the suburbs of Swanmore and Whitehaven, with the latter requiring mass land reclamation in the bay of Biscay. Zyra_Bot would be instrumental in reforming the architectural style of Gabon during this council period and would push for further protection of city green spaces.

This council would establish architectural standards and define the Gabonese style and its enforcement throughout the boroughs of Salisbury, Bakerswood, and Highgrove via the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/architectural-standards-act/ Architectural Standards Act 2020]. The third council session would be a defining era for Gabon, containing the debate and passage of the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/constitution-of-gabon-act/ first Constitution of Gabon] and the establishment of a Gabon-centric civil service, known as the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/gabon-public-service-act/ Gabon Public Service (GPS)].
The latter part of the third council session would be mired with the Gabon-wide debate of independence from the political union with Varkonia. The council was apprehensive to make the decision of independence without consulting the citizens of Gabon and as such the issue of independence would be opened up to the citizenry in a national referendum.
This referendum would result in a 62% leave vote, and the Lord High Chancellor would call for another council election the following month.

The 4th session has prioritised the economic outlook of Gabon and its people, establishing nationwide XP infrastructures such as farms, ice roads, rails, and grinders. These investments have propelled Gabon into an economic boom, enriching the lives of the government and the Gabonese people.
Whilst the XP infrastructure constructed was initially government-owned, the council would later privatise the industry, selling a majority of the assets to the newly founded [[Gabon Corporation]] for an undisclosed amount. The Gabon Corporation has played an important role in the economical development of Gabon from late 2020 into 2021, with the corporation being the largest employer in Gabon and funding multiple leisure projects throughout the capital.
In February 2021, it was decided by the Lord High Chancellor in correspondence with the Vice-Chancellor that elections would be suspended for the foreseeable future.

=== The Cabinet Office of Gabon ===
The Cabinet Office was founded with the passage of the first Gabonese Constitution on the 6th of November 2020 and was amended by the third Gabonese Constitution on the 25th August 2021. The Cabinet Office is an appointed government body made up of agencies or department subdivisions, on occasion the Cabinet Office Agencies may be referenced as a department or ministry. As of December 2021, these are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Housing & Urban Development, and the Ministry of Commerce.
Previous Ministries or Agencies under the Cabinet Office Act were; The Growth and Innovation Agency (GIA), The Housing and Urban Development Agency (HUDA), The Transportation Agency (TA) and The Agriculture Agency (AA). These were discontinued with the passage of the third constitution on the 25th of August 2021.
==== The Director General ====
The Cabinet Office is headed up and organised by the Director General of the Gabon Public Service, as of May 2021 the Director General is Gobblin.
The Director General (DG), along with advice from the Lord High Chancellor appoints the head of every agency or ministry, heads are appointed based on their merit and individual skills. The heads serve in their post indefinitely until resignation or removal either by the DG, or a referendum by the citizenry.
The Cabinet Office forms the backbone of the day-to-day governance of Gabon, with the instrumental role of advising the Lord High Chancellor and undertaking the tasks specific to their Ministry. The Ministries have comprehensive discretionary power within their roles, managing responsibilities and projects far greater than their elected counterparts in the Lord's Council.
==== Current Ministries of Gabon ====
==== Previous Agencies of Gabon ====
As of the passage of the Third Gabonese Constitution on the 25th of August 2021, all prior agencies and ministries of Gabon were dissolved.

====== Housing & Urban Development Agency (HUDA) ======
The Housing and Urban Development held the most responsibilities of any agency within the Cabinet Office, and its role was of paramount importance to the executive branch of Gabon.
The HUD Agency was primarily focused on the capital of Salisbury, although held discretionary power over the rest of mainland Gabon. The main function of the housing and urban development agency was to construct sustainable housing according to local styles that met the town planning needs of Gabon in collaboration with the Vice Chancellor as well as collaborating with the G&I Agency in building marketplaces that attract domestic and international vendors. [[File:TransportationAgencyPosterGabon.png|thumb|493x493px|A Gabonese Transportation Agency Poster detailing the renovation and construction of the Salisbury Subway system. December 2020 - Posted by Skullicus]]The Agency was also required to proactively provide for the protection, repairs and maintenance of roads, paths, and any buildings within Gabon. The HUDA was principally responsible for the conservation of Gabon's natural beauty and cultural heritage for the benefit of the community and future generations.
The Cartography Office fell under the HUDA's purview and as such the production of maps of the capital and mainland Gabon must be produced on a monthly based to be viewed publicly and internally.
The last head of the Housing and Urban was Zyra_Bot who was personally responsible for the mass development and blossoming growth of Portsmouth and Garston Point, both suburbs redefined the building style of Gabon in its recent years and the style has been continued throughout the city, most notably in the city centre with the redevelopment of the townhall and surrounding buildings.

=== Political Culture ===
Gabon has undergone a myriad of government systems since its founding in June 2018. From a Principality, to a Provincial Republic, then a Plutocratic Republic, and now a Republic led by direct-democracy. Gabonese people have a distinct enthusiasm for politics, with election turnouts consistently above 65%, policies debates between candidates and citizenry alike are well known to last hours before any conclusion is reached. The early governments of Gabon undertook lengthy plans to increase voter turnout and decrease political apathy which plagued the days of the Principality – as such it is very common to see large 'VOTE' banners around prominent locations in the capital and the promotion of exclusive voter-heads and badges for those who vote.
====Political Parties in Gabon====
The political landscape was dominated by the Gabon National Party (GNP) from 2019 until 2021 when the newly formed New Monarchist Party and the Left Labour Party of Gabon gained multiple seats previously held by GNP and other smaller parties. Gabon's electoral system leaves less-established parties disadvantaged as similar parties tend to draw votes from one another and block candidates from receiving a seat in the Lord's Council. Previous major parties are People of Gabon Party and Shadowwyn with both parties holding representation on the Lord's Council through multiple governments.
The definition of a political party within Gabon is incredibly loose as there is no official registration board.
