Postby The Soviet Teknocracy » Thu May 19, 2011 8:38 am

The Council of Skilled Laborers and National Representatives is made up of 500 members. 250 are elders of varying fields within the Teknocracy. Some are heads of health and medicine, some engineers, and some teachers. All of these elders are elected by an election of people within their career field. They also have executive decisions on everything that occurs within their field of expertise. The other 250 members are elected "politicians" who undergo rigorous tests to ensure an unbiased approach to every career field. These members are meant to represent the people collectively as a whole. Both sides are presented with bills, ideas, etc. to enact and have an equal say in the voting process. It takes a 251 majority to enact a bill, and all are final. Once the council has passed or rejected a bill, it is presented to the Supreme Chairman, who has the final say in everything. If he supports the bill, it is enacted, regardless of what the council voted on. The Supreme Chairman also has total control over the military and all non-economic related responsibilities.

The Yannian parliament consists of two houses: the Bondsdag (Union Assembly) with 120 members, elected by popular vote, and the Stamoldëstënrád (Council of Tribal Elders) with 72 members, appointed by the tribes they represent.

State parliaments have a single house, with 60 members, elected by popular vote.

The Legislature of the Confederation of Lylybium is bicameral.
The upper house (though the weaker of the two chambers) is the Senate, consisting of 104 Senators. The Senate is intended to be a council of experts and most of its members are not elected, but appointed by the Prime Minister or the National governments.
The lower house (and principal chamber) is the Parliament, consisting of 160 Members of Parliament, elected by party list and assigned seats via the D'Hondt method.

Breizhe has a "Curia Regis" which acts like a Privy Council. There are only four members: Yann Marque, Yaezikael Yanic, Judicael Mark-Point, Michel Longue.

In Jinavia the Imperial Parliament is a bicameral legislative body.
The upper house is the House of Peers, which groups all the Peers in the Jinavian Imperium (holding the noble title of Prince of Indoeuropean and Georgian equivalent). Seats are hereditary, as the noble title. There are 500 Temporal Peers, 25 Spiritual Peers and some ohter ones, including some Peers-by-law, such as the Chief of Imperial General Staff, or the Crown Prince. It deals with Imperium general affairs, such as costitutions or cadre-laws, without interfering in the single realm matters.
The lower house is the House of Nobles, which differs in each realm of the Imperium, and deals with single real affairs. It is composed of nobles elected among their peers but the Princes (and the equivalent).

The national assembly has 595 members. Each of the 119 regions has five assembly members, plus one member from Risia which only sends one MNA because they have their own parliament.

"Parliment" doesn't technically exist...A group of Super Intelligent AI's constructed through D-16 himself to split jobs he holds to rule such a vast empire, and thus isn't overwhelmed is the only thing near to the word "parliment". Though deleted and constructed newly every second, 5 million AI's are created for their purposes around the galaxy, 1000 being on a grand "council" to decide wartime strategies, 100 ruling the flag planet itself "Earth" and 7 being D-16's "Big Seven" who share his every ruling decree, and basically keep him from being bored.

Postby Yasashii » Sat May 21, 2011 12:11 pm

The National Board of Yasashii serves as the nation's legislature. Unicameral, the National Board is comprised of Board Members who each represent an accredited institute of higher education (i.e colleges, universities, polytechnics, and so forth). At the moment, there are over 5,000 members and, as a result, most cannot find place in the 2,500 seat Assembly Building. Teleconferencing is a preferred option. All members are independents; political parties are constitutionally banned.

Legislation is being proposed to change the form of the National Board from a 5,000 member assembly with representatives based in educational institutions to a 2,357 member assembly based around Yasashii's numerous Local Councils (equivalent to cities, towns, incorporated areas, counties, etc.). This legislation is designed to bring democracy to a more local level. The legalization and creation of political parties is being considered as part of a package of constitutional amendments.

Our system has many politicians, in the White Senate (Our lower house) there are near 1000 represenatives of regional areas, selected usually by election, and by many members of the ministries
The Red Senate (upper house) selects people from Military command, the Nobility as represenatives, Members of the ministries including the 'Czars' or commitee overseers and functionaries, and some Religious represenatives

The Executive Judicial councils are more privitised with two councils being filled by the children of Lord Rickey, one being filled by the Inquisitors and psychics and another by the Imperial advisors, or veteran politicians, One of each or more are usually taken and placed in the Justices position, as well as the Head oligarchs, religious authorities will usually meet with the Sage council rather than the red senates

Congress has 25 seats, filled with scientists, doctors, engineers, lawyers, economists and policy experts.

They are each appointed to 15 year terms, by Congress. Only one member is in consideration for appointment at a time.

This was finally decided upon after the disastrous mismanagement of the country at the hands of uninformed elected officials.

As long as the Executive branch is kept in check, it tends to work fairly well.
