The Socialist Republic of Murrayfield, also known as Murrayfield, is a communist micronation formally known as the Imperial Republic of Murrayfield. The nation was reformed on January 18, 2009 and officially became communist on March 18, led by Premier Ben Lawson. On July 22, 2010, Murrayfield merged with the Kingdom of Barrington to form the Republic of Wyke.
The Socialist Republic of Murrayfield was originally formed as the Imperial Republic of Murrayfield in 2005 with Ben Lawson as its head. Things went well for a few years however it had to disband in late 2007. At the beginning of 2009, Ben realised, while talking with Daniel Blackburn, the leader of Danburnia, that Murrayfield was a micronation and decided to reform the Imperial Republic and on March 19, 2009, a Revolution took place and the Socialist Republic was created.

Premier
The Premier served as the head of Government and leader of Murrayfield and as the General Secretary of the Communist Party.

However, the Premier has to take into consideration the views and decisions of the Central Committee, the Politburo and the Supreme Council, preventing any abuse of power and responsibility. The Premier also serves as the chair of the Politburo, Central Committee, Supreme Council, National Assembly and the Central Party Conferences. The current Premier is Ben Lawson.
