Yonderre is an elective Grand Duchy with elections held immediately following the death of the incumbent Grand Duke. The resultant election is the traditional vote between the nine [[Counts of Yonderre]], one of which ultimately ascends to the status of Grand Duke. Below the Grand Duke is the [[Yonderian Parliament]], a unicameral national legislature headed by the [[Grand Steward of Yonderre]]. Established in 1833, it meets in [[Gillaumebourg]] in central [[Collinebourg]]. | ||
The Parliament passes all laws, approves the cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. It is also responsible for adopting the state's budgets and approving the state's accounts. As set out in the [[Yonderian Constitution]], the Parliament is directly subordinated to the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] who wields executive power to veto and overturn laws passed by government. In practice, however, the Grand Duke seldom interferes in the work of the parliament. The Parliament consists of 179 elected representatives. General elections must be held every five years, but it is within the powers of the Steward of the Realm to ask the monarch to call for an election before the term has elapsed. On a vote of no confidence, the Parliament may force a single Minister or the entire government to resign. | The Parliament passes all laws, approves the cabinet, and supervises the work of the government.
