The Parliament of Tarper, or simply known as the Tarperti Parliament or Federal Parliament, and legally known as the Federal Legislatures of Tarper as Parliament United, is the supreme legislative body in Tarper. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the Tarper. The two houses meet in seperate buildings in Terraum but in case of emergency its seat is the Imperial Palace in the city of Munskeep, the former capital of the Tarperti-Sangheili État.

The Parliament is bicameral, consisting of an upper house (the Federal Council of Tarper) and a lower house (the Federal Assembly of Tarper).

The Assembly is a democratically-elected chamber with elections held at least every four years. By constitutional convention, all government ministers, including the Chancellor, and the President are members of the Assembly (ministers & Chancellor) and the Council (President) and are thereby accountable to the respective branches of the legislature. Most cabinet ministers are from the Bundestag, whilst junior ministers can be from either House.

Meeting place

The Parliament does not meet in one specialized building but instead its two houses meet in two seperate structures in the capital but, the People's Grand Assembly Building has been reserved as the official meeting place for the parliament. Parliament may only meet in the Assembly Building if a special occasion has been declared by the Chancellor.

The Assembly Building has been used twice by Parliament. Serving as its home during the years of 2002 & 2003 and during the 2008 Constitutional Convention.
