Is your nation leftist: Depends on how you define NARO's and by extension, AUA's policies. They do lean to the left (civic nationalism, social democratic policies, minority rights and endorsement of multiculturalism)
If applicable, what kind of leftist idea does the government follow (ie Stalinism, Socialism, Marxism, etc.): If social democracy counts as leftist then yeah.
Are leftist thoughts legal in your nation: Yes?
How are leftists treated in general: Idealistic and childish if they are left-left, so they are treated with slight mockery. If they are a NARO or YLA leftist they are generally seen as pragmatic, snobbish, champange socialists and treated with respect and satire.
What percentage of your population support leftist ideas: Not known, however, leftist political parties make up a fair portion of the AUA coalition.

Is your nation leftist: Depends how you define it. On the one hand, Geadland does have a large public sector, high taxes and liberal culture. On the other hand, the economic system is still fundamentally capitalist, and the current government is right-wing.
If applicable, what kind of leftist idea does the government follow (ie Stalinism, Socialism, Marxism, etc.): Left-wing governments in Geadland have tended to be social democratic.
Are leftist thoughts legal in your nation: Yes, we have freedom of speech.
How are leftists treated in general: We generally don't think your political views should define you and dictate how you should live. The mainstream left is quite popular at the moment due to the lack of popularity of the national government. The hard left and far left are distrusted, but does have a dedicated following.
What percentage of your population support leftist ideas: In the last general election (June 2013), the Social Democratic and Labour Party took 29% of the vote, while other left-wing parties and candidates took about 8-9% of the vote. In the last two years, the percentage of votes supporting these parties has increased by about 5-7 percentage points in the polls.

Brandenbourg-Anhalt and leftist ideas:

Is your nation leftist: Yes. The current government has been taking the country further to the left economically since it took office earlier this year after winning the parliamentary elections in March. Before that, successive center-right governments took the country in a more rightist economic direction since the mid 1970's. Before the 1970's, the country was solidly to the center-left economically and the current government is trying to get the economy back into a center-left position.
If applicable, what kind of leftist idea does the government follow (ie Stalinism, Socialism, Marxism, etc.): Social Democracy/Democratic Socialism, sometimes economic Centrism.
Are leftist thoughts legal in your nation: All kinds of poltical thoughts are legal - you will however be prosecuted if you use your political beliefs to perpetrate or advocate violence against those who think differently than yourself. Also, there is a provision in the Brandenbourgish Constitution that allows the Justice Minister to take organizations to court to have them banned if they perpetrate or advocate violence against those who think differently than themselves.
How are leftists treated in general: Admired and supported by many, criticized by many - especially by people of the social "elite"/upper class.
What percentage of your population support leftist ideas: According to recent surveys, around 55 % of voters support social democratic or socialist economic policies, around 8 % support centrist economic policies, 16 % support moderate rightist (center-right) economic policies and 21 % support far-right economic policies.
