Footnotes

The Legislative bodies of the Principality of Thransaltz (Dolch: Legislativeboden des Fürstentums Thransaltz; Stedorian: Lonemöpef Plinama Transalzäna) consists of the pool of all adult citizens of Thransaltz, referred to as the Citizens' Assembly, and the 28-seats-large State Council, which serves as a standing committee of the Citizens' Assembly.

Given its wide implementation of direct democracy, it is often considered to be the only acameral (0 chambers) state legislature in the wurld.

History

The legislature of Thransaltz was, from the early 19th century, directed by a condominium-appointed rule by decree from Walneria and Stedoria. The 1930 reform introduced a 15-member advisory board for the executive assembly, appointed by a joint committee of the two countries. Its function was to suggest legislature that may be overseen by the ruling body.

After the Stedorian-Walnerian War, the advisory board, renamed to the Assembly of Deputies, was given expanded legislative power, with the two overseeing countries keeping the condominium only through the legislative veto powers. After multiple disputes between the two overseeing countries, it was agreed, that on January 1st, 1980, Thranzaltz would be given complete independence.

In late 1979, the Assembly of Deputies held a referendum about the future of the legislature, from which the decision to transform into a direct democracy was made. On 1 January 1980, the Assembly of Deputies transformed into the State Council and a body of all citizens with the age above 18 years of age transformed into the Citizens' Assembly, which is the official legislative power in the country to this day. The State Council was elected in September 1980 for the first time. As of 2022, there have been 14 elections:

• 1980 Thranzaltz State Council election
