The National Assembly is the bicameral legislature of the Yavorstri Federation. Initially conceptualized in 1867 by ministers in the government of Yevgeniy I, the Assembly initially existed as a unicameral Estates termed the Zemsky Sobor, or Assembly of the Land. After the New Revolution of 1870 and eventual reformation of the Yavorstri Dominion into its current Federal form, the State Council and Duma were formed in 1875 to coincide with the first Yavorstri elections. Its powers, enshrined in the Yavorstri Constitution of 1880, serve to make it the most powerful governmental body within the Federation.
The National Assembly comprises of two distinct bodies, each with different powers; the Duma is commonly held to be more explicitly powerful than the Council, and can override the latter in all areas except those directly pertaining to matters of the federal states and republics as denoted in the constitution. The Duma is made up of at least 386 members, and through the processes of overhang and leveling currently seats 414 Deputies. The Duma also maintains an electoral threshold of 4.5% in order for a party to sit candidates from its closed list. The Council, on the other hand, has a fixed membership of 120 Councillors distributed via population and indirectly elected via the state legislatures of Yavorstrana's 14 states, republics, oblasts, and Federal Cities.
Members of the National Assembly meet in the Sokolovsky Kremlin in the capital of Yuriatin, which was once the seat of the Yavorstri Vozhd and has served as the official seat of government for the Yavorstri Federation since 1875. The Assembly is technically led by the President of Yavorstrana, though this process is only used during annual addresses to the combined bodies of the legislature and in unusual circumstances.
