Functions

The National Assembly serves as Slovertia's sole legislative body and is therefore tasked with the passing of all domestic bills and legislation. One of the key components of this task is to uphold the constitution of Slovertia and make ammendments to the constitution. The National Assembly is slso responsible for the state budget. Another part of the assembly's role is the ratification of international treaties as well as the decisions over the defence forces. If approved by the assembly the Defence Forces can be deployed in foreign countries and have been on several internationally coordinated peacekeeping missions.

Decision Making

The parliament may vote only if a majority of all its members are present. To pass a decision, the approval of a majority of all deputies present is required. For a bill to become law it must be subject to more than one vote in the assembly. If both votes are in favour then that legislation can become law.

Elections

Deputies are elected by universal sufferage for five year terms. Any Sloverti citizen aged 18 or over may vote in an assembly election. Elections occur under the system of Mixed-member proportional representation. As Slovertia is a multi party system this leads to the need for the need to form coalition governments as it is extremely rare that one party pulls off an absolute majority.
