The National Assembly of Carucere (Gaullican: Assemblée Nationale de Caruquère, Papotement: Bouaga Nasyonal Karuke) is a legislative body consisting of delegates from the island assemblies. It is the highest level of the Carucerean legislative assembly system.

Unlike the Senate, the Assembly is largely non-partisan and operates by consensus. The makeup of the Assembly is affected by changes in power in the island assemblies, and thus ultimately by the community assemblies at the local level. By convention, all assemblies in Carucere, including the National Assembly uses the delegate model of representation, where each delegate is bound to the wishes of their apointee and have no autonomy from the constituency. As any delegate may be appointed or recalled at any time, the Assembly is a continuous body and has no legislative periods.

The Assembly and the legislative assembly system directly originates from the governance councils of the Social Liberation Movement of Carucere (MLSK), established during the 1930s and 1940s, making the institution older than the country itself. The assemblies helped coordinate the actions of the MLSK before indepedence and functioned as the country's provisional government after the Carucerean Revolution. Despite the demise of the MLSK, the assemblies continued to operate and were the sole democratic institution during the period of single-party rule from 1957 to 1986.

Despite its lack of formal powers, the Assembly participates the political process through resolutions that are implemented by the Government or the Senate. Laws that affect state powers, and all constitutional changes, are traditionally presented to the Assembly for approval.
