It is generally accepted that Lucrecia was settled by the broader [[Glaistic civilization]] during the prehistoric period, but when they arrived and the extent of their settlement is the source of considerable debate. The only record of them comes from the first [[Adonerii]] settlers on the archipelago, who arrived in 750 BC. Until the 21st century, it was generally accepted that Lucrecia was the southernmost Adonerii settlement during the [[Latin Heroic Age]], though some modern archaeology and scholarship has suggested Lucrecia served as a staging ground for further expeditions south into modern [[Chrobonsk]]. Whatever the case, the Latin city of ''Emerita Maris'' was established at their first arrival and became the predominant cultural and political force in the archipelago. Historians generally agree ''Emerita Maris'' served as the primary southern outpost of the intricate Adonerii trade network, filtering exotic goods from South Sarpedon back to the other Adonerii cities in exchange for weapons, food, and other goods more common in [[Urlazio]] and beyond. | It is generally accepted that Lucrecia was settled by the broader [[Glaistic civilization]] during the prehistoric period, but when they arrived and the extent of their settlement is the source of considerable debate.

It began to establish its own colonies and trade network throughout eastern [[Vallos]]. It soon expanded to rule over other settlements on its home island, eventually culminating in the establishment of the Emeritan Republic in 178 BC, with a form of government that closely followed that of the Caphiric Republic, that being a diarchical consular republic. Its first consuls were [[Sextus Luria Rufus]] and [[Marcus Cornelius Scaevola]], two prominent merchants who have greatly expanded the trading networks between the Emeritans and the other polities in Vallos. | ||

The Senatorial House was historically the most powerful legislature in Lucrecia, but the reforms done since the 1970s have done away with much of its power, delegating much of said powers to the Centuriate and Popular Assemblies, but the Senatorial House does retain quite a few powers, such as the ability to petition the [[Supreme Court of Lucrecia]] to investigate either the consuls or the curia, the ability to prevent bills from passing into law, and being the sole legislative assembly to introduce {{wp|bill (law)|bills}}. | ||
The Centuriate Assembly is made up of 150 centurions who are appointed by the legislatures of the [[Communities, cantons, and linguistic areas of Lucrecia|cantons and linguistic communities]] and serve for five years. The 150 centurions are allocated as follows: 32 are appointed by the legislature of the [[Isurian Community]]; 21 are appointed by the legislature of the [[Isurian Generality]]; 16 are appointed by the Isurian language group of the [[Toledo-Administrative Canton]]; 8 are appointed by the Isurian language group of the [[Merida-Presidential Canton]]; 29 are appointed by the [[Pelaxian Community]]; 20 are appointed by the [[Emeritan Republic]]; 16 are appointed by the Pelaxian language group of the Merida-Presidential Canton; 8 are appointed by the Pelaxian language group of the Toledo-Administrative Canton.

The two segments of the Popular Assembly are the [[Tributary Assembly]] and the [[Common Assembly]]. The Tributary Assembly is made up of 200 [[Tributary of Lucrecia|tributaries]] who are directly elected under the system of {{wp|first-past-the-post voting}} within eighteen constituencies, and serve for three years. 109 tributaries are from the Isurian language group, and 91 tributaries are part of the Pelaxian language group. The Common Assembly is made of 200 [[Popular Representative of Lucrecia|popular representatives]] who are directly elected under the system of {{wp|open list}} {{wp|proportional representation}}, with an {{wp|electoral threshold}} of 5%, and serve for three years as well. Unlike the Centuriate and Tributary Assemblies, the Common Assembly, being directly representative of the citizens, is the only part of the legislature, other than the Senatorial House, that does not make use of quotas to allocate seats amongst the two language groups. | ||

Despite the Isurian language group holding a majority of the tributaries and centurions, the Lucrecian constitution mandates that both linguistic communities hold equal power in both the Centuriate and Tributary Assemblies. Indeed, bills may not necessarily require a majority in both language groups save for bills pertaining to the linguistic communities. | |||
