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 '''Rokthing''' (Swedish: ''Rokthingi''; Hverlandic: ''Bergþingi'' ) is the national governing body of [[Hverland]]. It meets in the Björnsson Building located in central Pétursfjord.


The Rokthing is unicameral, being composed of a 179-seat assembly. Members are elected via a nationwide {{wp|Party-list proportional representation|party-list proportional system}}. Elections are held every four years, with the last election being held in [[2018 Hverlandic election|2018]].


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 Rokthing 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.
