Corillia

Corillia is the southern continent on the planet Coruscant, and traditionally populated by humans. Corillia was originally settled by political exiles from Alderaan who were disiilusioned with the city-states and later the unified monarchy on that northern continent. As a result, the original city-states of Corillia were composed of democratically-elected governments, each governed by elected mayors and city councils composed of elected representatives. By 600 BR, all the city-states of Corillia had united as a United Republic, governed by a Senate elected by the mayors and councils of each city-state, and a First Citizen elected for a lifetime term of office by the Senate. A First Citizen could be elected by a plurality senators instead of a majority if there were three or more candidates.

Throughout it's history, the United Republic of Coruscant had over 50 First Citizens, and 21 of them were members of the Palpatine family.

On three separate occasions (588-586 BR, 400-359 BR, 201-197 BR), Corillia waged war against the Organa-ruled kingdom of Alderaan in order to force it to adopt a more democratic form of government.

In 1 IR, the two nations merged into the Imperial Republic.
