== Parliament ==
The Parliament of Drakkengard is the legislature. It has the power to pass laws by a 50% plus one majority. It consists of one chamber with 80 members. It is elected to a term of 4 years by the electorate via single member constituencies that roughly represent 262,500 people. They meet for two sessions of four months each every year in the Palace of Law in the city of Vaskar. Members serve full time and are immune from prosecution for the work that they do as members of Parliament.
The Parliament is chaired by the Speaker, currently Tunayda Nawad. Women and people of all ethnic groups and religions in Drakkengard are allowed to vote and stand for public office. However, unlike Packilvania, there are no minimum targets or thresholds for the participation of women and minorities. Nevertheless women comprise 25% of Parliament and ethnic and religious minorities comprise 5% of the membership. Just as Packilvania, people may not form, participate in or stand for election representing political parties.
Many members of Parliament form caucuses, i.e., informal groups of members canvassing support for a specific issue or legislation. Although people may not form parties, they can form non-profit and non-governmental organisations. Many of them are members of action groups, which are organisations for canvassing grassroots support for particular issues as well as think tanks which are groups for conducting and publishing research on policy issues. Although they are forbidden from campaigning for elections or appearing on ballots or promoting people for election, visibility and participation in action groups and think tanks can help candidates gain traction and exposure for their campaigns to get elected.
