Lobbyists include a wide variety of organizations and interests. Most organizations especially private companies prefer not to lobby legislators directly. Instead, they appoint a consulting firm specializing in lobbying to carry out the lobbying process on their behalf. Lobbyists can be useful in suggesting legislative proposals, organizing engagements between institutions, the public and legislators, advising legislators on legislation (especially with a technical nature), conducting research about legislation and publishing reports.

==Seat==
The seat of the Auroran Parliament is the [[Aura International Convention Center]] in [[Aura]], [[Emberwood Coast]]. The secondary seat of the Auroran Parliament is the Auroran Parliament Building in [[Sani Bursil]], [[Staynes]], [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. The use of two venues arose from the Auroran Reunification Summit where members of the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]] and [[Auroran Union]] agreed to compromise. Because Aura had always been the primary seat of Pan-Auroran government, it remained as the primary seat of the UNAC and, by consequence, the Auroran Parliament. This was favoured not only by the members of the ACA but of the AU such as [[Axdel]]. However, [[The Oan Isles]] and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] insisted on Sani Bursil. To appease their demands, Sani Bursil was made a secondary headquarters for the Auroran Parliament.

Most of the work of the Parliament is done in Aura. This includes plenary sessions, committees, administration and management. Furthermore, most of the residences of the members of the AP are located in the affluent North District of Aura (also known the International or Diplomatic District). However, some sessions of the Parliament are held in Sani Bursil. This requires the entire Parliament as well as the Commission to temporarily relocate to that city for part of the year. Although this is a logistically intense and expensive process, the political significance has forced the UNAC to continue with it. The Aura International Convention Center and the surrounding complex of buildings caters to most of the needs of the UNAC. Additional office space is provided by buildings located elsewhere in the city. Similarly, multiple buildings house administrative functions and offices of the AP when it sits in Sani Bursil.
