The Assembly of Lords is a unicameral legislature of 147 representatives elected by local direct first past the post elections; administrative regions are organized partly along island lines, partly along clan lines, and partly along municipal lines. This results in a very unbalanced spread of political power that is concentrated in seven of the eleven major islands of the nation.
