The Grand Assembly is Sorteic's federal legislature. It meets in Káragur in the Confederal Palace.
The Grand Assembly is bicameral, being composed of the 400-seat Federal Assembly and the 89-seat Council of Representatives. Members of both houses represent the cantons, but, whereas seats in the Federal Assembly are distributed in proportion to population, each canton has one seat in the Council of Representatives. Both are elected in full once every four years, with the last election being held in 2016.
History
Before the formation of the Grand Assembly, the Cantons of Sorteic had been organised through a confederal league system, with the confederation operating under a strictly decentralised state. The cantons met in the city of Harnkámm in a legislature known as the League Diet. After the Public House War, the Grand Assembly was formed as a provision of the Treaty of Káragur, alongside other provisions including federalizing the league into one country, creating a unified national military and enforcing a strict policy of outside neutrality.
