===Pact of Eighteen and Delepasian Commonwealth===
{{main|Pact of Eighteen|Delepasian Commonwealth}}
The newly-unified nation was a continuation of the [[Estado Social (Rumahoki)|Estado Social]] regime that was installed in 1938 in [[Rosaria]] and governed by [[Fernando Pascual]] who subsequently became the first Delepasian prime minister from its formation in 1976 until 1988 when he was succeeded by [[Nicolás Torres]] after a stroke.
 
The Estado Social regime in Delepas was characterised by a gradually-liberalising economy, {{wp|Election#Sham_election|sham elections}}, prime ministerial supremacy, [[Hispanicization in Rumahoki|hispanicisation policies]], and [[National Catholicism]]. Spanish was the sole official language during this era, and all minorities were put through brutal cultural suppression and {{wp|cultural assimilation|assimilation}} measures. Even during the Torres reforms of the early 1990s, hispanicisation remained as official government policy, and public opposition rose sharply as an increasingly significant element of the population grew with no memory of the anarchy that preceded Pascual and most especially when the reform experiment was put to an end by hardliners in the [[Rumahokian Imperial Armed Forces|Armed Forces]].

The Congress of the Commons is the {{wp|lower house}}, consisting of 400 members split between the states on the basis of population in an attempt to prevent urban overrepresentation. The members, known as Representatives, are elected {{wp|direct election|directly}} by the citizens through a party-list proportional representation voting system. Of the two legislative houses, this is the more powerful of the two. Indeed, the Prime Minister needs to command a majority of the Commons whether through {{wp|majority government|partisan majority}} or {{wp|coalition government|coalitions}} in order to not have a {{wp|minority government}}.
