Introduction to the Federal Union
While the President and his committees form the executive, the legislature is formed by the bicameral Union Assembly. The lower house, House of Representatives, is elected on the basis of proportional representation with fierce competition between parties. It has 30 seats which are all up for grabs every 2 months. The upper house, the Senate, is nominated by the regions with 2 seats to each of the region in the federation, currently with 8 seats, and is essentially tasked with representing the region's interests in the union. While the Speaker chairs the lower house, the Vice President chairs the upper house. Both the chairs are elected by the members of the house.
The judiciary, led by the chief justice, is nominated by the President and have life terms. All the regions are represented in some capacity in the judiciary. The Supreme Court serves as the apex court of law and is tasked with resolving interregional disputes, keeping an eye on the legislations and making sure they follow the constitution, and so forth.
Each of the bodies are active with a number of citizens involved, as each work independently yet deeply intertwined, keeping the wheel of the union moving forward.
