The '''General Assemblies of Lucrecia''' ({{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}: ''Asembleas Xerais de Lucrecia''; [[Emeritan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]]: '' | The '''General Assemblies of Lucrecia''' ({{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}: ''Asembleas Xerais de Lucrecia''; [[Emeritan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]]: ''Tribunos Generales de Lucrecia'') is the {{wp|tricamerial}} {{wp|parliament}} of [[Lucrecia]]. Its three legislative houses are, from lowest to highest, the [[Popular Assembly]], the [[Centuriate Assembly]], and the [[Senatorial House]]. The Popular Assembly is a federated legislative house that is split between the provincial [[Tributary Assembly]], and the popular [[Common Assembly]], the members of both chambers being chosen through {{wp|direct election}} and serve for three years. The Centuriate Assembly, initially representative of the regions of the [[Emeritan Republic|Emeritan]] and pre-1970 Lucrecian republics, represents the cantons and the linguistic groups of which they are elected by and serve for five years. The Senatorial House represents the aristocracy of the republic, and was once the most powerful legislative house until its powers and abilities reduced it to a 500-strong committee of legal experts as the aristocracy tended towards the law instead of the military as their mainstay; they are appointed for life by the [[Consuls of Lucrecia|Consuls]]. | ||
The sitting for the two lower houses always begins in March, with the Centuriate election being held on 13 March and the legislative election being held on 18 March. Members of these houses have no set term limit, although it is customary for members to retire at the age of 80 to make way for younger aspiring politicians, often a {{wp|protégé}} of the outgoing member. Presently, there are 1050 members of the General Assemblies, with each legislative house being given as follows: 500 [[Senator of Lucrecia|senators]], 150 [[Centurian of Lucrecia|centurions]], 200 [[Tributary of Lucrecia|tributaries]], and 200 [[Popular Representative of Lucrecia|popular representatives]]. This makes the General Assemblies not only one of the few legislatures in the world to have more upper house members than lower house members, but also one of the largest legislatures by total amount of members. | The sitting for the two lower houses always begins in March, with the Centuriate election being held on 13 March and the legislative election being held on 18 March.
