The National Assembly of Quetana is Quetana's legislative branch. The Assembly meets in the São Lento Palace in Vongane.
It has 350 members elected by constituencies by closed list proportional representation. Deputies serve five-year terms. The presiding officer is the Prime Minister, who is elected by the members thereof. It is the analogue to a speaker. The current Prime Minister is José dos Reis.
In the Assembly, MPs from the political parties, or groups of parties, form parliamentary groups. Groups must be formed by at least 15 deputies, but a group can also be formed with only five deputies if the parties got at least 5% of the nationwide vote, or 15% of the votes in the constituencies in which they ran. The deputies belonging to parties who cannot create their own parliamentary group form the Mixed Group.
After the 2020 general election in October and the swearing in on January 11th, 2021, the number of female deputies was up to 168 representing 48% of all members, making Quetana the Adulan country with the highest percentage of women in parliament.
