Parlamenta

Parlamenta (lit. "parliament" in Malboryan) is the only legislative body of the Malboryan Government. It was estabilished in 3rd of June 1906, along with the Second Malboryan Republic. It consists of three hundred representatives, which are democratically elected with elections every four years. All representatives have the right to create bills and release them up for voting in the Parlamenta. A bill has to have the support of at least two thirds of the members of the Parlamenta to be an Act and become law.

Parlamenta is located in the district of Montaigne, Malbory.

 History 

Being an absolute monarchy, The Malboryan Realm did not had a legislative body. The ruler's word was considered the law and it was not open for discussion.

In First Malboryan Republic, the legislative body was Concillera Dicernea (lit. "Random Council" in Malboryan), members of which were chosen via sortition. The literate citizens who wished to be a candidate would register under a certain time period. After the deadline, thirty-two candidates would be randomly chosen as a council member. The council was split in four: women aged 30-90 (Donesa), men aged 30-90 (Deisag), men aged 16-30 (Giovana) and women aged 16-30 (Georosa). Only Donesa and Deisag could've created bills, though this restriction was removed in 1854. For a bill to become law, it had to be approved by all four groups with a majority.

Concillera Dicernea was replaced with Parlamenta in 3rd of June 1906 by then-president of Second Malboryan Republic, Vernetta Cletnera. The sortition system was removed and replaced with parlamental elections. The split system in Concillera Dicernea remained, however. A multi-party system wasn't estabilished until Third Malboryan Republic. At the time, Parlamenta only had two parties: Malborya First Party and Alternative for Malborya.

Parlamenta was replaced with Concillera in Democratic State of Malborya. It consisted of 75 members, all chosen by Drava Centreo, the one and only president of the Democratic State. This lasted until Fourth Malboryan Republic, where it was replaced with the same democratic, multi-party system in Third Republic. More parties were added with 2009 protests.

 Federal parliaments 

Along with the parliament in Malbory, each region also has it's own regional parliament, called Saralera Parlamenta. They work in a similar fashion to Parlamenta, where they can write and vote on regional laws. Parlamenta cannot alter or deny regional laws unless it can prove that the regional laws are:

a) violating the Constitution of The Malboryan Republic,

b) threatening the unity of The Malboryan Republic.
