The structure of the Corcillum has undergone several major reorganizations throughout history and the specific powers of its chambers have varied considerably over the last millennium, sometimes overshadowing and at other times being overshadowed by the [[Imperator]]. After the Second Civil War, the constitutional balance of power shifted from the Corcillum to the Imperator. Though retaining its legal position as under a republic, in practice, however, the actual authority of the Corcillum was negligible, as the Imperator held the true power in the state. As such, membership in the Corcillum became sought after by individuals seeking prestige and social standing, rather than actual authority. | Each chamber functions semi-autonomously from one another, each with its own regulations and rules of procedure. However, they may occasionally meet as a single house, the Corcillum. As a result, the National Assembly has nominal authority over the entire Corcillum which means the National Assembly is functionally the national legislature. Through their legislative role, the Imperator is the legal head of the Corcillum (and by extension the head of each chamber) but rarely executes this power. The most-senior official in the Corcillum is the leader of the National Assembly - the First Tribune. | ||
