Cadriana

The Cadriana was the former third chamber of the Parliament. It was formed during the early days of Miria Seranoda's Government and would exist for nineteen and a half years before being dissolved by former Speaker and current Premier Ilmer Yutrias.

The body was designed to act as a Pontanore-wide legislative and debate chamber representing all the Pontanore states. Each state was allocated a certain number of seats based on population and each seat was awarded based on the results of an election in each respective district. At its height in 2016, the Cadriana was the world's largest legislative chamber.

When the chamber was brought into existance, it was empowered with the responsibility for passing Pontanore-wide legislation and submitting petitions to the Pontiana on substantive policy changes. The Cadriana was also given the power to consider policies on social issues dealing with development and the allocation of funding across the Pontanore for commercial and public services. The chamber had the power to veto laws passed by the Pontiana that affected specific Pontanore minorities or ethnic groups. The Fostana, in its capacity as the Pontanore's highest court, had to concur for the veto to be upheld.

Although the chamber was well-intentioned, most political pundits and academics concluded that the Cadriana was a failure. It was structurally weak as the Pontiana would continually assert its constitutional dominance and regularly ignore its advice or the petitions that it would send up for consideration. The single most important decision that came out of the body was long-desired reforms to the Fostana which had eluded Premiers since for nearly two decades.
