The Popular Assembly (Montecaran: Senblèa Popolà) is the lower house of the legislature of Montecara. Unlike almost all other nations, Montecara is governed mainly as a direct democracy and technically has no elected officials. Instead, every citizen aged 21 and older is a member of the legislature, which is responsible for passing all laws, ratifying all treaties, and appointing all government officials. This arrangement results in Montecara, one of the smallest states in Esquarium by population, having by far the largest legislature, with approximately 900,000 members.
The name "Popular Assembly" originates in the practice of citizens assembling in person to propose and pass laws, a long-standing tradition in Montecara and in the Latin Republic at large.
