The National Assembly of the Miersan Sotirian Republic (Miersan: Sejm mierskiej rzeczpospolity sotyrskiej), commonly referred to as the National Assembly (Sejm) is the legislature of the Miersan Sotirian Republic.
Established with the adoption of the West Miersan constitution in 1936, the National Assembly has always functioned as a unicameral legislature. However, for much of its history, although it always served as the main lawmaking body of the Miersan Sotirian Republic, the National Assembly's importance was significantly less than the West Miersan presidency.
History
.jpg)
Although Miersa has traditionally had some sort of legislature, or Sejm, throughout its independent history, the current National Assembly of the Miersan Sotirian Republic was only established upon the promulgation of the West Miersan constitution in 1936 and West Miersa's subsequent independence from Soravia.
Initially based at the administrative building at the University of Krada in Krada, as all the government buildings of the former Miersan Governate were largely based there, the constitution decreed that Żobrodź was to be the nation's capital. Despite West Miersa only having control over the western neighbourhoods of Żobrodź, the government sought to move as soon as possible to a purpose-built building. Thus, over the next three years, a new legislative building was built in West Żobrodź in a Miersan design, as opposed to a Gaullican-esque or Soravian-esque design. On 3 October, 1939, the Assembly Building in West Żobrodź was completed, and the National Assembly moved from Krada to West Żobrodź.
During this period, the National Assembly, although it was the primary place of lawmaking, was reduced in importance compared to the Presidency, as the Wojdyla family sought to centralize power within the Presidency. This reduced the legislature's independence, which was helped by their control over appointments to the eastern seats.
With the outbreak of the Miersan War in 1979, the legislature was suspended, with a war cabinet comprising of the Minister-President and the chief of staff of the Miersan National Armed Forces governing the Miersan Sotirian Republic in the stead of the Miersan government. Following the war's conclusion in 1982, the legislature temporarily reconvened in Krada while restoration work was done to the National Assembly building. After its completion in 1988, the National Assembly returned from Krada to West Żobrodź, where it has remained to this day.
