The Tate-Shōsū (Magian:縦小数 lit. Denominated Few) is the unicameral legislature of Magia Regnum. It has 250 members appointed for a four-year terms by the Gaidansu with approval from the Seigi Kaikan. The Tate-Shōsū meets at least three times a year and in special occasion when called for by the Haimajika. While typically there is no political parties in Magia Regnum, members of the Tate-Shōsū often form "factions" within. The head of the is referred to as the Prime Shoujo who represents the Tate-Shōsū, signs documents and speaks on its behalf. The Prime Shoujo is usually selected by an internal vote from among the members of the Tate-Shōsū with a ceremonial appointment by the Haimajika. The Haimajika may object to the choice; however this is a rare occurrence. A Prime Shoujo typically serves 6 years and can be re-appointed indefinitely.

Functions

The Tate-Shōsū can legislate laws on all issues within the limits of the will of the Ōrumaiti The Tate-Shōsū cannot, for instance, enact laws contrary to the declarations of the Haimajika. Government bills are presented to the Tate-Shōsū after receiving approval. All legislation passed by the Tate-Shōsū must be sent to the Saishi who must review it w to ensuring its compatibility with the Ōrumaiti's guidance. If it finds the legislation incompatible, it will return it to the Tate-Shōsū for review. Otherwise the legislation will be deemed enforceable. All international treaties, protocols, contracts, and agreements must be approved by the Tate-Shōsū, as well as receiving and issuing national or international loans or grants by the government.

Composition

Factions

Principalists

The Principalists (Magian:プリンシパル, Purinshiparu) often referred to as the "Fundamentalists" or the "Hardliners" is one of the main factions and is the largest within Magia Regnum. Principalists are more orthodox oriented and more closely affiliated with core, traditional magical girl values. Principalists also tend to be advocates for protecting the ideological 'principles' of the orthodox magical girl. Principalists emphasize important to the ways of the Ōrumaiti and fierce loyalty to Magia Regnum's ways. They often reject greater bonds with outside magical girls; although they do not outright oppose cordial relations.

Stability Front

Divine Era

The Divine Era (Magian: 神の時代; Kami no jidai) refer to the camp of members more religiously oriented and more closely affiliated with the clerical establishments and traditions than their cohorts within the legislature. The Divine Era puts great emphasis on total obedience to the Ōrumaiti, the ceremonies and traditions of Ōrumaiti no Michi, the organized religion of Ōrumaiti worship in Magia Regnum, and devotion to the principles established by the Saishi. The Divine Era maintains fairly close ties with the Principalists, however are often criticized for their particularity to tradition rather than the direct will of the Ōrumaiti herself.
