=== 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
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.
