The National Assembly of Valoria (French: Assemblée nationale valorienne), typically referred to as the National Assembly or simply Assembly, is the unicameral national legislature of Valoria. It is composed of a fixed 100 delegates, presided over by the Chairman of the Assembly.
Elections to the National Assembly are held in conjunction with those for the prime minister, although the prime minister holds no direct connection to the Assembly. Delegates thus serve out two-and-a-half year terms, and all 100 seats are up for election simultaneously. The next scheduled elections will take place in July 2026.
The Assembly is currently controlled by the Conference, who hold a 52 - 48 seat majority over the Movement. Britt Sheppard has served as Chairman since 2024, succeeding Frédéric Armand.
History[edit | edit source]
Initial construction of the Assembly Building, in which the National Assembly is housed, began in 1756, when Valoria first declared its independence from the British. While the building would not be complete for another seventeen years, the Assembly would formally begin on September 26th, 1762.
Powers and Duties[edit | edit source]
The Assembly carries out most of its functions through committees.
Composition[edit | edit source]
The National Assembly is comprised of a fixed 100 delegates, with seats being allotted to provinces based on the percentage of the total population that they comprise. The Assembly's seat composition changes are legally required to go into effect at most one year after the latest census. The latest composition change took effect in 2020, following the 2019 census.
Because percentages have decimals, but only whole seats can be allotted, some provinces' percentages must be rounded up, and others rounded down. This issue has been coined the "Decimal Problem." To determine which provinces will receive which seats, a commission of the first delegates from each province is appointed and chaired by the prime minister after each census, tasked with presenting an official Assembly seat distribution for the prime minister to approve. Apart from the eleven first delegates, the Assembly has no role in determining the allocation of its seats. This was done to prevent a bloc of larger provinces giving themselves a disproportionately large measure of seats at the expense of smaller provinces.
The current seat allocation of the National Assembly is as follows:
| Abbr. | Province | Assembly Seats |
|---|---|---|
| BC | Bas-Canada | 22 |
| BO | Boston | 17 |
| CN | Connecticut | 16 |
| MA | Massachusetts | 13 |
| NH | New Hampshire | 6 |
| MI | Maine | 6 |
| NS | Nova Scotia | 5 |
| AC | Acadia | 5 |
| RI | Rhode Island | 5 |
| NE | Vermont | 3 |
| NF | Newfoundland | 2 |
The National Assembly is currently controlled by the Conference, who hold 52 seats against the Movement's 48.
