What's the name of YN's legislature?
Parliament has numerous names. Formally, it is known as "His Majesty's Consilium Magnum", though it is also known as (The Houses of) Parliament, the Great Council, etc.

Bicameral, unicameral, or more houses than two?
Parliament is bicameral.

Names of the houses?
1) His Majesty's Upper House in Parliament (The House of Peers)
2) His Majesty's Lower House in Parliament (The House of Commons)

What are members referred to as? (like Representative in the US, MP in most parliamentary systems, TD in Ireland, et cetera)
Both Members of the House of Commons and the House of Peers are Members of Parliament, however, only Members of the House of Commons are styled in that way. Members of the House of Peers are referred to their personal title, e.g. The Rt. Hon. The Earl of Sussex.

Number of members?
The House of Commons has 500 Members, which each represents a constituency, while the House of Peers has ~750 appointed members.

Current speaker(s) (if applicable)?
The Speaker of the House of Commons is currently The Rt. Hon. Oliver Erskine MP. The Speaker of the House of Peers is - by that office - the Lord High Chancellor. At this moment the ceremonial position of Speaker of the House of Peers is held by The Rt. Hon. The Viscount of Galway.

Current head of government?
The usual definition is hard to apply to Orange-Bourgogne. Normally, it is said that the Head of Government is now in commission consisting of: 1) Mr Arthur of Avalon (Prime Minister) 2) The Rt. Hon. The Baron of Quelpart (named after a county from the Island of Jeju - Lord High Steward) and 3) The Rt. Hon. The Baron of Breda (Lord Privy Seal).

Which party is in power?
The National Conservatives (Centre-right) have an absolute majority in the House of Commons. No party whatsoever has a majority in the House of Peers.

Are they in a coalition? If so, what parties are they in a coalition with?
As of now, there is no coalition, even though the party seeks for broader support across the House of Commons and the House of Peers rather than just rushing through their own manifesto.

What languages are spoken in your legislature?
It is mandatory to speak English in Parliament.

Voting system?
First-past-the-post in order to become a Member of the House of Commons. Votes on draft legislation are... complicated.
