History


Steibo was separated from Stacall in January of 1902 to give the king more autonomy from the provincial government. Steibo was the last province to adopt an elected legislature on December 31st, 1999.

Politics
Due to the very late adoption of a provincial legislature, towns and municipalities in Steibo have a great deal of autonomy and frequently disobey the relatively weak legislature.

Steibo is generally considered to have Centre-Left political leanings. It has most frequently voted for the Labor Worker's Party, but the Liberal Party, Communist Party, Civic Union and Independent Democracy Party have all received significant support there in the last few decades. The region is currently represented in the senate as part of Senate District 3 by Nixon, currently the only member of the Labour-Liberal Party who caucuses with both the LWP and LP.
