The Federal Legislature of Pharexia (Pharexian: Síðari, Astellian: Félagið, Valian: законодательная) is the national governing body of Pharexia. It meets in the Holafsosan Building located in the new-central Breíddalsvík region.
The Federal Legislature is bicameral, being composed of the 277-seat National Assembly and the 63-seat Cantonal Assembly. The houses have identical powers. Members of both houses represent the cantons, but, whereas seats in the National Assembly are elected via a nationwide party-list proportional system, each canton seperately elects three members to the Cantonal Assembly. Both are elected in full once every four years, with the last election being held in 2014.
The Federal Legislature meets regularly between January and September for regular session, but a special session can be called in order to complete unfinished business or to continue negotiations on the government's budget for the following year.
Between the two bodies, there are currently three parliamentary caucsuses. Caucauses in Pharexia refer to parties that frequently meet or work together to pursue common legislative objectives.
