The National Assembly was created with the current [[Constitution of Caphiria]] as a replacement for the earlier ''plebeian assembly'', which formed in the earliest days of [[Caphiria]] as the representative bodies of each of the original tribes which settled Caphiria. As each tribe had one vote, the body was initially created as a popular body but fell into obsolescence as tribal leaders were subverted first by the Senate and then by the first [[Imperator]]s. With the establishment of the [[Great Landsmeet]] in [[Urcea]] during the medieval period, the resurrection of the plebeian assembly was a popular idea which receded following the '''XXXX CIVIL WAR XXXX'''. The plebeian assembly last fully met in [[1640]], and was replaced by the directly representative National Assembly in the 19th century.

===Senate===

The ~~'''~~Senate~~'''~~ is an assembly of 782 men of [[Senatorial Rank (Caphiria)|senatorial rank]] who are at least 40 years of age. The Senate is primarily responsible for overseeing the nation's economic policies, having {{wp|suspensive veto}} authority over any legislation put before the National Assembly which is said to have an economic impact. Additionally, the Senate is responsible for ratifying any trade treaty or agreement made by [[Caphiria]] with a foreign power. Internally, the Senate is responsible for elevating families to senatorial rank and functionally serves as the body which resolves succession for the position of [[Imperator]]. Notably, the Senate is responsible for the conveyance of the honorary title ''Imperator'' to the nation's ruler, which has become synonymous with the position. It is presided over by the Imperator or his designee in his role as {{wp|princeps senatus}}.

Finding its historical root in the classical {{wp|Roman Senate|senates}} of [[Latinic people|Latinic civilization]], historical Caphirian Senates served primarily as an advisory council of elders, but gradually grew to assume a legislative role during the initial consolidation of power in the position of the [[Imperator]]. In the current [[Constitution of Caphiria]], the Senate is comprised of one member per million residents of the Imperium, with new Senators added on the death of previous members and every five years on the occasion of censuses. New members are chosen by the [[Imperator]] by virtue of his position as ''{{wp|princeps senatus}}''. The Senate is said to employ {{wp|virtual representation}} by way of it including a large enough cross-section of the Caphirian population to represent the whole nation.

===Military Assembly===

The '''Military Assembly''' is an assembly of every {{wp|flag officer}} of the [[Imperial Armed Forces]] from each of the three branches. It is nominally responsible for the prosecution of [[Caphiria]]'s wars and organization of the [[Imperial Armed Forces]], responsibilities that it delegates to the [[Imperator]] on a day-to-day basis. As an Assembly, the Military Assembly considers formal declarations of war as well as peace treaties. Peace treaties which include economic benefits or concessions must also be considered by the Senate, while treaties with include acquisition or cession of land must also be considered by the Tribunal Assembly. The Military Assembly is also responsible for confirming appointment of the [[Ministries_of_Caphiria#Ministry_of_Defense|Minister of Defense]] made by the [[Imperator]]. As flag officers, every member of the military assembly is appointed by the Imperator as he is responsible for the promotion and commissioning of officers. It is presided over by the [[Imperator]] or his designee,
