The Federal Legislature of Pharexia (Pharexian: ''Síðari'', Lilledic: ''Félagið'') is the national governing body of [[Pharexia]]. It meets in the Holafsosan Building located in central [[Breíddalsvík]].


The body has two chambers: the upper house, known as the Quorum, and the lower house, known as the House of Delegates. The fifty members of the upper house are known as Prelates and are appointed by members of the [[Church of Pharexia]]. The House of Delegates has 500 members and are elected every five years based on {{wpl|party-list proportional representation}}. Pharexia is split into 10 {{wpl|constituencies}} called [[Wards of Pharexia|wards]] that each elect between 12 and 90 Parliamentarians. The apportionment of Parliamentarians depends on the size of the electorate, meaning a larger population equates to more representation.'' 

The Legislature meets regularly between January and September for {{wpl|Legislative session|regular session}}, but a {{wpl|special session}} can be called in order to complete unfinished business or to continue negotiations on the government's budget for the following year. Floor sessions are held in the House of Nobility in Brichard. Members are called Parliamentarians, or PL's for short.

===Elections and parties===
Voters elect candidates  who stand either as independents or as members of political parties. Seats in the House are apportioned among the wards by population. Prior to election day, parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats get distributed to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives. As of 2019, eight parties are currently represented: the {{wp|conservatism|conservative}} and {{wp|Christian democracy|religious democratic}} [[A Union for Conservatism (Pharexia)|Union for Conservatives]], the {{wp|Right-libertarianism|right-libertarian}} and {{wp|agrarianism|agrarian}} [[New Future (Pharexia)|New Future]] party, the {{wp|theocracy|right-wing theocratic}} [[The Ilyçisian Delegation in Pharexia|Ilyçisian Delegation]], the {{wp|centrism|centrist}} and {{wp|Technocentrism|technocentric}} [[Science Party of Pharexia|Science Party]], the {{wp|Social liberalism|social}} and {{wp|Economic liberalism|economically liberal}} [[Liberal Justice Party (Pharexia)|Liberal Justice Party]], the {{wp|left-wing politics|left-wing}} and {{wp|green politics|green}} [[The Écologists (Pharexia)|Écologists]], the {{wp|social progressivism|progressive}} {{wp|socialist}}, [[Dignity Party (Pharexia)|Dignity Party]], and the liberal-conservative, [[New Waldensia]] nationalist [[Bloç Waldénsicois]].
