The Congress of the Union [Eothasi: Congreso d’la Unión] are the legislative branch of the Union of Eothasi Socialist Republics. It is a unicameral organism composed exclusively by the National Assembly of the Union.
The National Assembly is a uninominal constituencies system. The entire country is divided into 605 constituencies; each constituencies proposes one candidate to the National Assembly, which will act as that constituencies’ particular representation in the National Assembly. As such, all members are independents and there are no parties in the Eothasi political system. In order to ensure that not only higher-class individuals are able to attempt election due to the costs of the electoral campaigns, the federal government has ensured the following rules: (1) candidates for elections must not draw funds for their campaigns from personal accounts, but exclusively from donations of members that must reside within the region that they represent; (2) the ruling government of the Repúblic to which a specific constituencies belongs must ensure that local debates are conducted to ensure visibility of all candidates; (3) small subsidies are provided to candidates in a second consecutive candidacy.
Members of the Congress of the Union are voted directly by the citizens of the country. These elections occur once every four years and the entirety of the National Assembly is up for vote at the same time. In order to become a representative of either house of the Congress of the Union, it is necessary for an individual to be of Eothasi birth and to have obtained, at minimum, the Vexian Citizenship Tier.
History
Following the end of the Civil War and the rise of power of the future Empress Duvaineth, it was decided that the only way to truly advance united was precisely to undo the union of the Aterni Empire that had conquered all of modern-day Eothasia, instead creating a new government that would equally represent all Eothasi citizens. This government would be a democratic and meritocratic organization that would only permit those with valuable work ethics and meritable achievements to ascend the ranks.
As such, the government was established with a clear separation of powers between executive, legislative, and judiciary powers officially in 1681. The Congress of the Union took on the mantle of the legislative branch of government. Since then, there have been 89 different compositions of the Congress, including the presently active.
In the late 17th Century, after the official selection of Wyzim as the capital of the newly formed Union of Eothasi Socialist Republics, the construction of the Capitolium — the building where, to this day, the Congress of the Union convene for sessions — began. It was completed by 1701 and the first session was held in May 10, 1701 by the 6th Congress of the Union.
