LNC Region 1

LNC Region 1 is a representative region of the Libertarian National Committee. State affiliate parties are grouped into regions, which are traditionally identified by a number. Since these groupings are currently set each time there is a national convention, although in many cases they do stay the same for a somewhat longer time, it is not necessarily the case that any particular state remains in the same region from term to term. Sometimes an individual state will be added or dropped, and occasionally a given number will get assigned to a completely different group of states. So "Region 1" is not really a permanent topic in its own right for most purposes, and most of the useful information about it can be found in the articles about the region that had that number during a particular term of the Libertarian National Committee. Since at least 1979, it had become tradition that whatever region contained Alaska would be Region 1.
