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}}. | 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.

Rumahoki is a federal state with nineteen [[States of Rumahoki| | {{main|Administrative divisions of Rumahoki}} | ||
Rumahoki is a federal state with nineteen [[Administrative divisions of Rumahoki#States of Rumahoki|''estados'']], including the [[Federal District (Rumahoki)|Federal District]] containing the nation's capital of [[Santa Maria]]. The primary purpose behind these entities is to be the primary-level divisions, complete with their own constitution and form of government. These entities are delegated some autonomy and self-governance, thus allowing them to pass their own laws and policies, provided that it doesn't violate the [[Constitution of Rumahoki|constitution]]. The states are further divided into [[provinces of Rumahoki|''provincias'']], [[parishes of Rumahoki|''parroquias'']], and [[municipalities of Rumahoki|''municipios'']]. These divisions are responsible for certain functions, but most notably not the educational functions due to the highly centralised nature of the education system. The ''comarcas'' serve a dual-purpose, totaling to 400, not only do they serve as a common local government over multiple municipalities they also serve as a means for the apportionment of seats in the [[Congress of the Commons]] as a means to prevent the [[National Assembly of Rumahoki|National Assembly]] from being dominated by the cities. | |||
The government of Rumahoki also provides maps of the extent of the nation's four main cultures as well as the nation's regions. Three states are [[Taineans|Tainean]], three states are [[Loa people|Loa]], two states are [[Cartadanians|Cartadanian]], and twelve states are [[Delepasians|Delepasian]]. The state of [[Junu'urinia Ba'andasi-Navidadia]] is the only state to have two major cultures, those being Loa and Delepasian. The largest state by area is [[Rosaria]] at 137,664.89 square kilometers (53,152.71 sq mi), while the Federal District is the smallest state by area at 1127.24 square kilometers (435.23 sq mi). | |||
Five out of nineteen states are {{wp|constituent monarchy|constituent monarchies}}, those being [[Bahia (Rumahoki)|Bahia]], [[Rios Gemelos]], [[Portas Gemeas]], [[Kalanatoa]], and [[Na'aturie]]; the latter two being theocracies, and Portas Gemeas is an example of a more traditional elective monarchy. The rest of the states are republics. The states of [[Tescolinia]], [[New Isuria]], and [[Valio]] are also known as [[Autonomous islands of Rumahoki|autonomous islands]]; islands on equal status to the rest of the states despite their small area. | |||
