In the following weeks Ambrose attempted to severely hinder Sjealandic capabilities to strike back against the occupation by launching several air raids against ports and airfields on the Sjealandic coast, culminating in a costly bombing campaign that only served to compromise Ambrosian aerial superiority over the islands; the [[Royal Sjealandic Air Force]] used their more modern and numerous jet fighters to harry Ambrosian resupply ships and strike ground targets virtually unopposed. In early December 1971, Sjealand launched several amphibious assaults on the southern islands and were able to rapidly overwhelm the Ambrosian defenders. ('''[[War of the Njord|See more...]]''')

Emblem of the National Assembly of Korea.svg

The National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Menghe (Menghean Sinmun: 대멩 사회주의 궁화국 국민 의회, Menghean Gomun: 大孟社會主義共和國國民議會, pr. Dae Meng Sahoejuyi Gonghwaguk Gukmin Yihoe), often abbreviated as National Assembly (국회 / 國會, Gukhoe) is the unicameral legislative body of the Socialist Republic of Menghe. It convenes at the National Assembly Building in Donggyŏng. Each of Menghe's Province-level entities serves as a large multi-member district, with a number of seats proportional to its population. The total number of seats is fixed at 278, with the Chairman of the Supreme Council casting a tie-breaking vote in the event of a deadlock. Elections for the National Assembly are held every five years on July 14th, with the most recent election taking place in 2019. Candidates are elected from closed party lists, and each district's seats are allocated on the basis of party-list proportional representation. Until recently, only the three parties in the regime-sanctioned UFNR coalition were permitted to run in elections, a rule which guaranteed that even with competitive voting the Menghean Socialist Party would maintain full control of the Assembly. This rule was lifted in 2019, when opposition candidates were allowed to run for the first time under a unified "Independent" party list. (See more...)
