The Ministry of Popular Assembly (''Ministro de Asamblea Popular)'' is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislature legislative] branch of the Antoran government. It is separated into the upper House of the Nobility and the lower House of the Populace. There are 220 Representatives in the House of the Populace, one for every Province and major (above 100,000 residents) Municipality. The House of the Nobility, meanwhile, elects 20 Bailiffs, two from each District save Salasca, and the remaining 180 Lords are hereditary positions. However, both Bailiffs and Lords are peerage members and have the same privileges. The Representatives serve for three-year [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term_limit terms], Bailiffs for eight, and Lords for life. The Popular Assembly is headed by the Minister of the Popular Assembly, who nominates one Representative and one Bailiff to serve as the Mediator of their respective Houses for the duration of their terms. The Minister of the Popular Assembly has a seat on the Royal Cabinet. However, their role is mainly ceremonial as they have no administrative control over the happenings of the Assembly. |

The Popular Assembly votes on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law laws] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_(document) acts] proposed by its members and holds control over prioritizing the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_budget national budget]. The House of the Populace vote on proposed actions of the Royal Cabinet if such measures are budgetary. The House of the Nobility votes on actions if they are military or foreign policy related. In return, the laws and acts passed by the Assembly must receive Royal Assent to become legal, though refusal of Royal Assent on a given document can be circumvented by a four-fifths majority vote of both Houses. The House of the Nobility may override a vote made by the House of the Populace with a three-fifths majority and vice versa. Extant in both Houses are Boards that are responsible for areas of government mirroring that of the Royal Ministries, and work together with them on policy. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee#Conference_committee Committees] may also be formed by the Mediators of the Houses to investigate and address specific issues.[[File:CorricParliament.svg|thumb|200x200px| |

The Prime Minister is elected from the House of the Populace, and all First Ministers must have served in either house to qualify for the position. The Assembly also has the power to dismiss any Prime or First Minister with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unanimity unanimous] vote of no confidence. Similarly, with a unanimous vote of both Houses and the Royal Cabinet, the Monarch may be deposed in favor of another member of the Royal Family. |

The major [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party parties] of the Assembly are the Chivalric Caucus (CC,) the Antora Progress Party (APP,) and the Environmental Stewards (ES.) These three parties are broadly liberal-leaning and always form a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_government coalition] together, which is known as the Antoran Liberal Pact. The CLP has controlled the House of the Populace for the past forty years, receiving the majority of seats each election. The Honorable Action Caucus (HAC,) the largest party in the 1900s, has recovered from its decline over the past 40 years in the 2022 election, winning 29 seats to become the second largest individual party in the Assembly. Many credit this with the reforms brought on by [[Astolfo de Naranza-Carratéo]] and Francisco Javier de Ferreira in exposing a Royalist coup plot. Another party to benefit from these events was the Feudalist Front (FF) which gained two seats and a large deal of public support for their centralist and militarist views against treason. Less important minor parties include the communist National Unity Party (NUP,) the economically-driven Coastal Prosperity Front (CPF,) the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession secessionist] Island Freedom Caucus (IFC,) the culturally-focused Antoran Heritage Party (AHP,) the Anti-Monarchists (AM,) and the local-interest Reformed Cátras Party (RCP.) |
