[Monsone]

Does YN have a unicameral or bicameral legislature? How big is it?

Monsone has a unicameral parlament with 210 seats. Elections are every five years, with options for a vote of no confidence, and the option for parlament to call new elections. Laws/bills/legislation require only a simple majority to pass (i.e 106 to 104). The Prime Minister also has the constitutional right to dissolve parlament, however this move is often looked down upon. contrary to popular belief, one can have a minority in Parlament and still be Prime Minister because the PM is elected by the people. Such cases are called Crippled Parlaments, and often are counterproductive, and at best, semi-productive.

[Pax Brasiliana]

Brazil has a bicameral legislature. There are 409 seats in the Chamber of Deputies - the lower house - and 70 seats in the Senate. Each Senator and Deputy are democratically elected every four years. There is no term limit. Laws require a simple majority to pass, however, constitutional amendments need to be approved by two-thirds of the house. Until 2021 the Prime Minister was elected by the Senate. Now, he is elected by the population in a general election.

[The Fordines]

The Fordines has a bicameral parliament made up of the Higher Body and the Lower Body, both with varying numbers but 100 legislators total (or 101, counting the PM). The amount of legislators a region gets is determined based on population, and elections and population recounts are hold every 4 years.

The Lower Body of the Parliament, currently with 72 members, is made up of legislators who do not have experience in certain areas, including the sciences, fine arts, or creation of businesses. Members of this Body are required to have a specified amount of government or legal experience, or take a certain number of federally-provided classes focused on the inner workings of the Fordin government and the political and economic needs of the people. The Lower Body is colloquially known as the "Citizen's Parliament."

The Higher Body of the Parliament, currently with 28 members (29 with the PM), is made up of legislators who do have scientific, cultural, or economic experience. Members of this Body are required to take an aptitude test to prove their knowledge in their field, and so members of the Lower Body can "graduate" into the Higher Body later in their careers. Many laws, especially "specialty" laws about economics, the environment, and scientific or medical research, are drafted in the Higher Body.

[Altiqala]

Altiqala has a unicameral legislature known as the Grand Directorate - or simply the Directorate - consisting of 451 seats. Appointment to the legislature is determined by a two part process. The first part is the nomination process, which is determined through a series of state exams which work to find the most prepared state official to fit the role. From the candidates the voting population may vote to determine who is elected. It is uncommon for large amounts of seats to be up for grabs at one time. Legislatures serve a minimum 6 year term.

Within the legislature there are smaller councils or enclaves of specific political, social, or economic interest. These cover more specific issues than the overarching political parties and are generally formed of specialists in a given field. The Chancellor is also elected from the Grand Directorate, usually a current incumbent member though this isn't required by law.

[Pulsroth]

[Ivory Coasts]

The Ivory Coasts operate under a unicameral non-partisan parliamentary system. The Imperial Court, its legislative body, has 84 members that serve a two-year term. 36 are directly elected from electoral districts, 12 appointed by members of the Privy Council, while the other 36 are selected by members of special interest groups, such as the Crown Corporations or the pharmaceutics industry. With the exception of the twelve Privy Council-appointed members, all are elected to power by proportional representation. Although the Imperial Court is legally non-partisan, Imperial Court Members (ICM) have informally aligned themselves into two ideological groups: the centre-left Green Coalition of the Ivory Coasts and the centre-right Conservative Coalition. Far-right and far-left politics have never been a prominent force in Ivorian society.

[Tdomereov]

The Federative Duma is split into the Chamber of Deputies (upper) and the Federal Assembly (lower). The CoD has 63 members; 62 distributed from the national vote share of parties and 1 appointed by the ruling party or coalition. The Federal Assembly has 233 members representing states based on population.

[Aikoland]

Aikoland has a bicameral Parliament consisting of the Chamber of Deputies (lower chamber) and the Senate (upper chamber). Both chambers are elected via party-list proportional representation with a 3% electoral threshold.

The Chamber of Deputies is the larger of the two chambers of Parliament. It consists of 115 Deputies who are elected in a single nationwide constituency. The Chamber of Deputies is responsible for: the creation of new legislation, creation of the annual government budget, approves the Prime Minister's Cabinet, and can call for a motion of no-confidence against Her Majesty's Government. In addition, the monarch appoints the leader of the largest party in this chamber as Prime Minister (there is no legal requirement that they come from the Chamber of Deputies, but no Prime Minister has come from the Senate since Emmanuel Aveline left the office in 1906)

Elections for the Chamber of Deputies occur every six years on the first Saturday in April following the most recent election OR earlier if a motion of no-confidence passes and the Chamber of Deputies dissolves itself OR if 75% of the Chamber of Deputies vote in favour of an early dissolution and election. All 115 seats are (re)elected at the same time and there are no term limits for Deputies, but they cannot stand for reelection if older than 75 years of age.

The Senate is much smaller than the Chamber of Deputies. It consists of only 30 Senators, with each state sending 10 Senators. The Senate reviews legislation approved by the Chamber of Deputies and can temporarily delay its passing by amending it and sending it back to the lower chamber for a revote (which can only be done three times per legislation), it can completely block up to six pieces of legislation per year from passing into law, and they appoint judges to the Supreme Court.

Elections for the Senate occur every two years on the first Saturday in April. Unlike the Chamber of Deputies, there is effectively no method for an early election to occur in the Senate (Technically, the monarch still has the authority to dissolve Parliament at-will, but no monarch has done this since Empress Jeanne II, who dissolved Parliament in 1902 to force the first election under the current constitution, which transformed the Senate into an elected chamber, rather than an appointed one). Elections for the Senate are staggered, with only one third of the Senate going up for a (re)election at a time, in the order of Senators from Aiko, Senators from Boullién, and Senators from Saun. Just like in the Chamber of Deputies, there are no term limits but Senators cannot stand for reelection if older than 75 years of age.

[Sailor Mercury]

The Mercurian Parliament is a unicameral legislature with 275 seats.

[-The Japanese Democratic Republic-]

The Supreme Parliament of Workers and Citizens is the bicameral legislature of the Japanese Democratic Republic. It consists of the Workers Parliament (upper house) and the Citizens Parliament (lower house).

The Workers Parliament consists of 116 seats and its members are referred to as Laborers. The Laborers are elected by members of the National Union of Laborers, our nation's sole labor union, with elections occurring every five years.

The Citizens Parliament consists of 473 seats and its members are referred to as Members of Parliament. MPs are elected via single-member districts with elections occurring every five years.

[Jerdena]

We have a unicameral legislature known simply as Parliament. It has 220 members elected by STV. Parliament used to have two houses, an elected House of Representatives and an appointed Senate, but they were abolished in 2010.

[Zhouran]

A unitary stratocratic state that follows a uniquely-Zhouranese variation called Yuhukekang*, the national unicameral legislature of the People's Republic of Zhouran is the Supreme Assembly, which has 1,500 members. Assembly Sessions are held in five-year intervals, starting on May 8 and ending on May 18. The first Assembly Session was held in 1957. Assembly Sessions provide an opportunity for the government to review past policies and present future plans to the nation. On November 7, 2002, the People's Republic of Zhouran legalized the creation of opposition parties, turning the nation's political party system from a single-party system to a dominant-party system with the People's Party being the leading dominant ruling-party in power. Since 2002, out of the 1,500 seats in the Supreme Assembly, around 900 seats are reserved for civilian members of the People's Party, around 500 military-only seats for Zhouranese People's Army military-appointees nominated by the People's Defense Council, and around 100 seats for opposition parties. Prior to the legalization of opposition parties on November 7, 2002, around 1,000 seats were reserved for civilian members of the People's Party and around 500 military-only seats for Zhouranese People's Army military-appointees nominated by the People's Defense Council. Although the Supreme Assembly is the primary legislative body of Zhouran, it ordinarily delegates authority to the smaller and more powerful State Presidium, chosen from among its members. The State Presidium has about 80 members and is led by the President of the State Presidium (Head of State), who is assisted by the Vice-President of the State Presidium.

Below the State Presidium are both the People's Defense Council and the Central Council. The People's Defense Council of the People's Republic of Zhouran is the highest guiding organ of the military and the managing organ of military matters in the nation. The Chairman of the People's Defense Council is the Supreme Commander of the Zhouranese People's Army. The PDC is regarded as the most powerful government council in the country and is led by the Chairman of the People's Defense Council (Head of Military), who is assisted by the Vice-Chairman of the PDC. The Central Council of the People's Republic of Zhouran is the chief administrative authority of the nation. It is chaired by the Premier of the Central Council (Head of Government), assisted by three Vice-Premiers and five Central Council-Members.

Since September 12, 1956, the People's Republic of Zhouran has three levels of local government: province, district, and city. Provinces are the first level of the administrative structure. A standard provincial government is led by a provincial council, headed by a governor. The governor is first-in-charge of the province, with the vice-governor being second-in-charge. Districts are the second level of the administrative structure. Each provinces are divided into districts. Each district is governed by a district-chairman. A city is a permanent settlement with a name and defined boundaries. They are the third level of the administrative structure. Each city is headed by a mayor.

On November 7, 2002, the People's Republic of Zhouran legalized the creation of opposition parties, turning the nation's political party system from a single-party system to a dominant-party system with the People's Party being the leading dominant ruling-party in power. The People's Party, the dominant political party since the PRZ's founding, continues to be the main political party of the nation due to being a united civilian front with a big-tent approach and having members from both the political-moderate and political-hardline.

While the People's Party dominates at national-level politics, minority parties are highly-active at local-level politics. Compared to the catch-all philosophy of the People's Party and its embracing of both political-moderates and political-hardliners, minority parties on the other hand are more-divided along the Moderate–Hardline Political Spectrum. Although minority parties actively-participate in local-level politics, they do not dominate it since labor unions and labor-union federations have been dominant in local-level politics especially back when the People's Republic of Zhouran still followed a single-party system.

Political representation from any labor union/s and/or labor-union federation/s dominates the local politics of towns and cities in Zhouran, minus the national capital Ouyang since the capital only matters at national-level politics. With Zhouranese politics being divided between the political-moderate and the political-hardline, each labor union would be organized among such lines. Labor unions in Zhouran are also further organized on whether they represent specific crafts, specific industries, or just workers of different crafts and industries in general. While labor unions and labor-union federations continue to dominate local-level politics, many of them have actually created their own political parties since the legalization of opposition parties in 2002 in order to have political representation in national-level politics.

In Zhouran, rural areas tend to lean politically-hardline while suburban areas tend to be politically-moderate in general, urban areas on the other hand tend to be a bit-more balanced but slightly-leaning towards the political-moderate. Being the nation's leading dominant ruling-party in power, the People's Party is more focused on national-level politics, as for minority parties they focus more on local-level politics especially that of a specific town or city they are active in.

Western liberal democracies love to virtue-signal about their supposed superiority because they are simply 'more democratic', but in reality these sham democracies are complicit in reinforcing the unjust hierarchies of neoliberal capitalism and the preservation of far-right reactionary politics. These western representative 'democracies' do not represent the interests of the workers but rather they only represent the interests of corporate fatcats, warmongers and lobbyists. They do nothing but create a fake facade in order to trick the masses into voting for them, for the centrist liberals they create the image of progressiveness around themselves despite capitalism being regressive in nature, meanwhile the right-wing conservatives build a facade of nationalism and populism to entice their followers despite capitalism being highly-globalist and created only for the sole benefits of the bourgeoisie.

Thanks to the immortal socialist science of Kaimingism–Jinbuism, the proletarians of Zhouran have the largest amount of workers' autonomy in the world. We have the world's largest number of labor unions, the largest number of self-managed cooperatives, the highest amount of regulation for workers' rights, and even the highest unionization rate in the world with pretty much almost every single Zhouranese worker being a member of a labor union. Not to mention that every labor union in this great nation have the addition of political representation in order to bolster the collective bargaining of workers. Our political system simply works because it was built and tailor-made for this nation, so maybe other nations outside the west should stop utilizing the flimsy bureaucracy of western sham democracies and instead utilize their own political system that benefits the interests of their people rather than foreign elites.

The Royal Legislative Chamber

The Royal Legislative Chamber, known as the Royal Corporative Chamber between 1942 and 1982, is the upper house of the Royal Parliament. Previously it was exclusively composed of de jure non-partisan representatives of various corporate groups. Today it is composed of thirty nine members (three per province, of which twenty-six are elected) that serve six year terms. The role of the CLR in producing legislation is limited in comparison to the National Assembly, largely playing an advisory role with the ability to make amendments. However it has some reserved powers. The CLR alone can appoint judges to the Supreme Royal Court, request authorization of snap elections to any legislative body in the country, hold constitutional referendums, and impeach provincial governors and the Prime Minister.

Currently the National People's Union holds a majority in the CLR, with twenty three seats. The Labourist Party is the primary opposition party, with 13 seats.

The National Assembly

The National Assembly is the lower house of the Royal Parliament. It has 436 members (as of 1957) of which all are elected in first-past-the-post (FPTP) constituencies. The role of the National Assembly is to produce legislation and to form the government of the Rafinha. Since 2015, the National People's Union has been the largest party with a majority of 248 seats. Since their founding in 1940 they have been the dominant party, holding a majority for sixty-four of the last eighty years. The Labourist Party has been the main opposition party since 1983.

[Tangatarehua]

Technically Te Whare o Tangata [Parliament, lit: House of the People] is bicameral, divided into the 27 member Kahui o Kaitiaki [Council of Guardians] as the upper house and the 310 member Whare o Mangai [House of Representatives] as the lower house.

In practice however, the lower house holds most legislative power and all power over the national budget; it can easily overcome opposition by the upper house.

In the lower house, 210 members are elected to single-member constituencies while the remaining 100 seats are "top-up" seats divvied proportionately to any political party that achieves over 5% of the national vote.

The upper house consists solely of the 27 regional Kaitiaki, who are the nobles charged (traditionally) with governing an area and providing security. Although there are different processes for appointing a Kaitiaki (some more democratic than others), it is absolutely closed off to Commoners.
