The Serene Congress, often referred to otherwise as the Serene Congress of Nastanovo, the Most Serene Congress of the Nation, or simply the Congress, is the supreme legislative body in Nastanovo. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in Nastanovo. Its seat is the National Palace of the Serene Congress of the Nation in Nostalta. The legislature is bicameral, consisting of an upper house (The Mystoia Senatus) and a lower house (The Asamblea de Portavoces). In 1780, the upper and lower houses were established by the Sovereign's Constitution as a decree from the Sovereign of Nastanovo, Bernardo Freire, and the first national elections were held in the country that same year. Following the October Revolution in 1926 the Revolutionaries dissolved the body and declared it a device of Sovereigntist power, only for the Nastnovian Civil War to end in revolutionary defeat and exile while Benicio De Augusto restored the body under his Constitución de '37, the legislative body was enshrined during the 1997 National Salvation Congress Constitutional Convention which broke down the authoritarian process of De Augusto while transfering more power towards the Congress.
