The lower chamber, the Popular Assembly, is led by the Chair of the Assembly, and is the nation's chief legislative body, representing proportionally-allocated electoral districts. Assemblymembers six year terms, coinciding with the terms of the Speaker-President. The Assembly considers virutally all matters of state that do not devolve to the constituent Republics, and it has the power to solicit the State Union Council on various legislative issues only under its own request. The Chair of the Assembly is elected at the beginning of each term of the Assembly and serves at its pleasure. The Chair of the Assembly is the {{wp|head of government}} within the Vandarchine system, and is responsible for formulating budgets, appointing cabinet ministers, and as the name implies is generally responsible for the conduct and legislative agenda of the Popular Assembly. | The lower chamber, the Popular Assembly, is led by the Chair of the Assembly, and is the nation's chief legislative body, representing proportionally-allocated electoral districts.

Due to the federated nature of the state, the Union Government (that is, the central government) owns or has direct authority over very limited lands, most prominently the Union's capital city of Rheydt. Located in Hollona, Rheydt was the seat of the Elector of Diorisia from 1634 onward. The city, which has a blended character, is an important symbol of the unity of the two halves of the Republic. The Union Government has direct control over the city itself as well as a number of small {{wp|right of way}}s of rail lines extending outward from Rheydt, including one to the coast of the Vandarch. | |||
