The Liberaldemokratische Allianz (Liberal Democratic Alliance), commonly known as the Liberal Democrats, LibDems, or LDA is a major political party in the Imperial Crownlands of Greater Hulstria. The LDA supports liberalism and federalism. It was formed in 2992 as the successor to the previously defunct Christian Liberal Alliance (CLA).
The party's structure is similar to that of its mother party, the CLA. Each Crownland has its own branch of the party, with their own chairmen and executive councils. The national party is led by the National Council of the Liberal Democratic Alliance (NCLDA). The National Council may, by a three-fifths vote of its membership (excluding the President), remove the President of the Liberal Democratic Alliance from office. Party platforms drafted by the President are only adopted after majority vote by the NCLDA.

President of the Liberal Democratic Alliance - The President is leader and standard bearer of the Liberal Democrats. The President is responsible for drafting the party platform; representing the party at home and abroad; is the LDA's nominee for Governor-General; and selects which portfolios elected frontbench members will hold. The President is elected by majority vote by all official dues-paying members of the party.
Chairman of the National Council - The Chair is responsible for the administrative and day-to-day operations of the party. The Chair assists the President in his/her party duties and temporarily assumes the powers of the party presidency in the event of the death, resignation, or incapacity of the President.

One Deputy President serves as the parliamentary leader of the party and manages the electoral campaign for the Imperial Diet.
