The Current Congress was elected through the 5th of October Federal Elections through the amount of Votes for each Party Nominee for the Office of Federal President of the Federation of Ahrana, since the last Federal Election the Presidium has laid down new Election Rules and a new Voting System to be only used for the Congressional Houses, Party-List PR will be used next Election cycle. The Congress is the Highest Legislative Authority of the Federation a level of Authority granted to the Chambers by the Constitution of the Federation and her member Republics.
The Parliament (Alþingi- Sørskandinavien, Stortinget- Norðurskandi, парламент- Vestslavisk) is the National and Supreme Legislative Authority of the Kingdom of Ahrana. Since the founding of the Third United Kingdom of Ahrana the Parliament is a unicameral with 150 Members, elected proportionally for a Five Year Term that is renewable only three times in total.
 
The Constitutional Functions of the Parliament is detailed in the Constitution of the Third United Kingdom of Ahrana, as well with the internal workings of the Parliament itself can be found in the Constitution.
 
The Seat of the Parliament is the Parliamentary Palace in St. Peterburi in the Dukedom of Peterburi inside the United Kingdom of Ahrana. The current Parliament of Ahrana has its connections to the previous Parliaments from the Fist and Second United Kingdom of Ahrana, both of which were a instrument of the Royal Government and the Imperial Throne which makes this Parliament the first true independent Legislative in the History of the Royal Governments of Ahrana. It is the First Legislature in Ahranaian History to also be a Unicameral Legislature under a Royal Government.
 
=History=
The First Parliament of the Kingdom of Ahrana was created in 1025 by Queen Ann of Mishia when she created the first laws for a United Kingdom that was in use till the fall of the First Kingdom. The Parliament since the creation in 1025 was bicameral legislature in the style of what Queen Ann of Mishia called the Bench Style, this form was used till the fall of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana. The Chambers of the early Parliament were the Chamber of Nobility and the Chamber of the Estates both acted as a secondary confirmation for the Monarch and passed all Royal Laws and Decrees into Law without debate as was their reasonability. The First Parliament held no real power and the same would go for the Parliament created under the beginning of the Second United Kingdom.
 
In 1972, the King of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana, King Gustov XVI, relinquished huge amount authority to the Parliament of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana thus granting the Legislature for the first time the ability to create a Government in the Name of the Monarch that was free to operate separately and govern the Kingdom as outlined in the New Constitution. This would continue to be the case in the future as the King would devolve more authority to the Legislature and the Executive Government making the Monarch a mere Ceremonial Figurehead that still retained some Authority but not like it was before.
 
=Power and Structure=
The Parliament of Ahrana performs the normal functions a legislature of a Parliamentary Democracy would. It enacts laws, amends the constitution and appoints a government.  In most parliamentary democracies, the head of state commissions a politician to form a government in the name of the head of state in this case in the name of the Monarchs of Ahrana.
==Speaker of the Assembly & Speaker of the Council==
The Speaker of the House, Assembly or Parliament is the head of the Parliamentary House that keeps order of the Parliament while in session. The Speaker is elected from amongst the Members of Parliament and can remain as the Speaker unless they are not re-elected or do not wish to hold the Office no longer. The Speaker is to Independent from all Political Parties while they are the Speaker.
 
The Speaker is the first to speak in Parliament and no one may speak or debate until the Speaker has called the Assembly to order and called upon the Member of Parliament to talk. The Members of Parliament when taking the floor must speak as if they are talking to the Speaker by addressing the Parliament with, "''Mr. Speaker''" or "''Madam Speaker''" and may not address anyone else in Parliament directly, but only indirectly. The Speaker is to keep order of the Assembly and reserves the right to ask for the removal of a Member of Parliament if they violate any of the Parliament Standing Rules of Behavior and Speaking. In addition to addressing the floor, the Member of Parliament must address each Member of Parliament as ''The Right Honorable Member of...(Said Constituency followed by their name)''. The Speaker calls the Assembly to Order in times of heated debates and may also call for a recess and also for the end of days session of Parliament and declaring the next day of meeting.
 
The Speaker sits in one of the two Imperial Thrones as a Speaker of Parliament who is confirmed by the Diarchs to chair the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Ahrana in their name, therefore the Speaker is the only other person next to the Crown Prince's/Princesses that may sit in the Thrones for any reason. The Speaker holds considerable Power and Authority in the Parliament established by the Rules and Regulations of the Ahranaian Parliament.
==Committees==
There are 17 Parliamentary Committees that have some Sub-Parliamentary Committees from those Committees.
* Civil Affairs
* The Constitution
* Cultural Affairs
* Defense
* Education
* Environment and Agriculture
* Finance
* Foreign Affairs
* Internal Affairs
* Health and Welfare
* Industry and Trade

* Joint Foreign Affairs and Defense
=Opening of Parlaiment=
During the Opening of Parliament is the only time that the Diarchs are permitted to Chair the Parliament legally, the Speaker of the House normally chairs the parliament. During the Opening of Parliament Ceremony, the Diarchs will address the Parliament and outline the Federal Governments agenda for the year. The Federal Chancellor created the Governments agenda and may include Partisan Support of all Political Parties in the Address, but it is not required. The Parliament is called to full Order when chaired by the Diarchs requiring all Members of Parliament and Government to be present at the Ceremony.
 
When the Parliament has been officially open, the Government may start debating its agenda if the other Political Parties do not agree and carry on with Government business after the Diarchs have left the Chamber. At no time may a Member of the Imperial House be present at any Parliamentary Debates or Sessions unless called upon by the Speaker of the House. If the Chancellor is voted out in a special election of No-Confidence in the Government and it has Monarchal Approval, then the Session of Parliament is in continued session after the election and no Opening of Parliament is required again after the opening before the election.
 
=Membership=
Since the creation of the Parliament of the Third Untied Kingdom of Ahrana the number and percentage of women in the Legislature that being at least 96 Seats of the Parliament of Ahrana are held by women. The percentage of women in the Parliament is around 63%, which is possibly one of the highest percentage of women in any legislatures on Eurth.
 
=Government=
The Executive Government or commonly called the Presidium is headed by a Chancellor that is the person who heads the Party with the most seats in the Parliament who are asked to form a Government. The other seats of the Presidium can be given to people in the Parliament within the same party or the section that support the Government.
 
The Parliament may at any time hold a vote of no confidence in the Government, if the vote is unanimous of in favor if the no confidence then the Chancellor must step down and request the Monarchs to call for an election. However, the Monarchs are not required to uphold this Vote of No Confidence if they feel the Government has done a adequality job or if the time the vote has come is one during times of trouble or turbulence.


Both Houses of Congress meet in the Capital, Moskovo, in the Legislative Palace while the Houses are in session, the Houses are in Session Three Quarters of the Year with the last Quarter being open for the Elections. At the beginning of each year both Houses must agree to a budget for an entire Year and a Half, if they fail to do this the Presidium and in right of the Powers of the Federal President may dissolve the Congress and call for Fresh Elections.

Their are 1500 Seats in the Assembly which makes it the Biggest Assembly in all Legislative History of the Federation to date. The Federal Assembly will Directly Elect from among the Members of the Assembly to be Vice President of the Assembly, Constitutionally there are two Vice-Presidents of Assembly under the Chancellor of the Federation which is the Executive Representative of the Federal Assembly. While the Chancellor is an Executive Representative they in right of Authority of the Independence of the Assembly hold no Legislative Power while sitting in the Federal Assembly. The Chancellor my use their vote only to broker a tie in the Assembly, the Vice-Presidents are the true Power Wielders in the Assembly Having the right to dismiss a debate, call for a debate, or even veto a Law before reaching a vote.


=Chamber of Federal Republican Deputies=
{| class="wikitable"
The Chamber of Federal Republican Deputies or sometimes called the Chamber of Deputies, is the Upper House of the Congress of the Federation due that it is the smallest of all Assemblies in the entire History of the Federation. The Constituencies Elect Members that are called Deputies (hint why it is also called the Chamber of Deputies) that are elected to Represent the People in their Constituencies and to make the final decisions of the People for the People. The Deputies are elected to a Four Year Term renewable only once during their term, within that four year term on there are Midterms, just like the Federal Assembly, and exactly One-Third of the House is up for a Confidence Vote by the People of their Constituency. However unlike the Assembly the Deputy does not have to have the full Confidence of the People of that Constituency to stay in Office, they may remain in Office until either the Replacement-Elect or the Deputy Vice-Presidents deem that it is in-fact time for them to leave Office. The reason for this is so that the Incumbent Deputy may ready the Office with certain Legislation and so on for the Replacement-Elect or Deputy-Elect when they are sworn into Office, this so called Grace-Period only last for a Month until the Decision by the Deputy-Elect and Deputy Vice-Presidents are made. Normally the Out-going Deputy is placed into the Deputy-Elects Office to help that Deputy run his Office and Constituency.

The Political Party Landscape is currently dominated by the Loyalist Party of Ahrana to which the majority of all Government Offices are held by Members or People with affiliation with that Party. To form a political party, one must register the party along with its party platform with the Electoral Commission of the Kingdom two months before the General Election, to remain a political party the organization must have gained at least 1% of the votes in the General Election if not gained then the party is declared a null and void political organization. The Regional Legislatures also must follow the same structure and rules regarding political parties.


Their are 300 Seats within the Chamber of Federal Republican Deputies which is small compared to the pervious Upper Chamber which held 550 Seats under the Socialist Government. The Chamber Elects a Deputy Vice-President from amongst the members of the Chamber, Constitutionally there are two Deputy Vice-Presidents under the State Councilor of the Federation which is the Executive Representative of the Chamber of Federal Republican Deputies. While the State Councilor is an Executive Representative of the Chamber they hold no true Legislative Power while sitting in the Chamber, they may only use their Vote to broker a tie in the Chamber. The Deputy Vice-Presidents hold the true Legislative Power but are under the advice of the State Councilor whom only advises in extreme cases of State Matters such as Matters of War, Internal Affairs Hearings and so forth. The Deputy Vice-Presidents cannot veto and Law until it has motioned and carried on through debate, they may only Veto the Law if only the Law is a violation of the Constitution or State Secrecy or other matters of State.
=Elections=
Elections for the Parliament of Ahrana are held every Five years with each seat of the Parliament up for election or unless there is a Vote of No Confidence held in regard to the Government. The elections are to be free and fair and by secret ballet as per the Constitution. All Citizens of the age eighteen and older and without and Federal Convictions within the last ten years may vote for the Members of Parliament.  


=Congressional Committees=
The Kingdom is Divided up into Member States who have Provinces, during Federal Elections for Parliament and the Federal Chancellor the Provinces are allocated two seats to elected by the Electoral Divisions that make up the country which makes up about one hundred and eight seats total determined by the Provincial Electoral Divisions established by the Federal Government. The Provincial Divisions are allocated one hundred and five seats to elect by Provincial Borders. The remaining thirty-seven seats after the Electoral Division and Provincial Border are appointed by the Moanrch to serve as Political Independents to the Parliament of the Realm. This method of Election has been called the Gustov Method which was introduced by a Professor at the University of Peterburi in 1941. While the method may seem complicated it has been used by the Imperial Government since its inception. Since the the Monarchy was restored in Ahrana and with the addition of the Grand Duchy of Elde and the Kingdom of Uppsund back into the Realm of the United Kingdom of Ahrana in early 2022, the Gustov Method has been reintroduced for the first time in the 2022 Election Cycle.
Both Houses of Congress have the Same Congressional Committees and Sub-Committees in-order to ensure the same amount of Legislation and Co-Operation between both Houses are and does Happen during each Congressional Session.

Constitution
Constitution of the Third United Kingdom of Ahrana

The Parliament (Alþingi- Sørskandinavien, Stortinget- Norðurskandi, парламент- Vestslavisk) is the National and Supreme Legislative Authority of the Kingdom of Ahrana. Since the founding of the Third United Kingdom of Ahrana the Parliament is a unicameral with 150 Members, elected proportionally for a Five Year Term that is renewable only three times in total.

The Constitutional Functions of the Parliament is detailed in the Constitution of the Third United Kingdom of Ahrana, as well with the internal workings of the Parliament itself can be found in the Constitution.

The Seat of the Parliament is the Parliamentary Palace in St. Peterburi in the Dukedom of Peterburi inside the United Kingdom of Ahrana. The current Parliament of Ahrana has its connections to the previous Parliaments from the Fist and Second United Kingdom of Ahrana, both of which were a instrument of the Royal Government and the Imperial Throne which makes this Parliament the first true independent Legislative in the History of the Royal Governments of Ahrana. It is the First Legislature in Ahranaian History to also be a Unicameral Legislature under a Royal Government.

History

The First Parliament of the Kingdom of Ahrana was created in 1025 by Queen Ann of Mishia when she created the first laws for a United Kingdom that was in use till the fall of the First Kingdom. The Parliament since the creation in 1025 was bicameral legislature in the style of what Queen Ann of Mishia called the Bench Style, this form was used till the fall of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana. The Chambers of the early Parliament were the Chamber of Nobility and the Chamber of the Estates both acted as a secondary confirmation for the Monarch and passed all Royal Laws and Decrees into Law without debate as was their reasonability. The First Parliament held no real power and the same would go for the Parliament created under the beginning of the Second United Kingdom.

In 1972, the King of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana, King Gustov XVI, relinquished huge amount authority to the Parliament of the Second United Kingdom of Ahrana thus granting the Legislature for the first time the ability to create a Government in the Name of the Monarch that was free to operate separately and govern the Kingdom as outlined in the New Constitution. This would continue to be the case in the future as the King would devolve more authority to the Legislature and the Executive Government making the Monarch a mere Ceremonial Figurehead that still retained some Authority but not like it was before.

Power and Structure

The Parliament of Ahrana performs the normal functions a legislature of a Parliamentary Democracy would. It enacts laws, amends the constitution and appoints a government. In most parliamentary democracies, the head of state commissions a politician to form a government in the name of the head of state in this case in the name of the Monarchs of Ahrana.

Speaker of the Assembly & Speaker of the Council

The Speaker of the House, Assembly or Parliament is the head of the Parliamentary House that keeps order of the Parliament while in session. The Speaker is elected from amongst the Members of Parliament and can remain as the Speaker unless they are not re-elected or do not wish to hold the Office no longer. The Speaker is to Independent from all Political Parties while they are the Speaker.

The Speaker is the first to speak in Parliament and no one may speak or debate until the Speaker has called the Assembly to order and called upon the Member of Parliament to talk. The Members of Parliament when taking the floor must speak as if they are talking to the Speaker by addressing the Parliament with, "Mr. Speaker" or "Madam Speaker" and may not address anyone else in Parliament directly, but only indirectly.

The Kingdom is Divided up into Member States who have Provinces, during Federal Elections for Parliament and the Federal Chancellor the Provinces are allocated two seats to elected by the Electoral Divisions that make up the country which makes up about one hundred and eight seats total determined by the Provincial Electoral Divisions established by the Federal Government. The Provincial Divisions are allocated one hundred and five seats to elect by Provincial Borders.
