Legislative

Main article: United Republic Parliament

Under Article I of the Constitution, the United Republic Parliament is the legislative branch of the federal government. It is bicameral, with the National Council and the Senate comprising the lower and upper houses respectively.

Makeup of Parliament

National Council

The Council currently consists of 411 voting members, each of whom represents a parliamentary district. The number of Councilors each province and the Capital District has in the Council is based on each province's population as determined in the most recent United Republic Census. All 411 Councilors serve a two-year term. Each province receives a minimum of one representative in the Council. In order to be elected as a Councilor, an individual must be at least 21 years of age, must have been a U.R. citizen for at least seven years, and must live in the parliamentary district in the province that they represent. There is no limit on the number of terms a Councilor may serve. In addition to the 411 voting members, there are 10 non-voting members, consisting of 10 delegates each from one of the territories.

Senate

In contrast, the Senate is made up of two senators from each province, regardless of population. There are currently 56 senators (2 from each of the 27 provinces and the Capital District), who each serve six-year terms. Approximately one-third of the Senate stands for election every two years. In order to be elected as a Senator, an individual must be at least 25 years of age, must have been a U.R. citizen for at least nine years, and must live in the province that they represent.
