Parliament

• Citizens Assembly
  
  Information

  • After the passage of Referendum 1 (2019), the Citizens Assembly seats 150 members selected by sortition, which is conducted by the Electoral Commission. Every member of the chamber serves a term of nine years and one-third of the seats are subjected to a staggered sortition. This means that one-third of the Citizens Assembly will be refilled every three years. Because this chamber consists of random Valkyrians, regardless of their amount of experience in politics, members are not required to reveal their identities but they are known and recorded by the Electoral Commission, which maintains a website for members to vote on legislation passed by the National Assembly. People who are selected to serve in the Citizens Assembly are constitutionally obligated to vote for, against, or abstain on legislation and cannot resign from their position in the legislature, though medical exceptions are made. In the event of ties, the President of the Valkyrian Republic gets to vote.
• National Assembly
  
  Information

  • The National Assembly seats an unfixed number of members who are elected. The electoral system utilised for this chamber is mixed-member proportional representation, meaning that there are members who are elected from geographical constituencies and those who are elected from party lists. In both cases, instant-runoff voting is used to determine who wins. In geographical constituencies, the winner is declared when a candidate receives more than 50 per cent of the vote. Similarly in party lists, the winners are declared when they receive more than 50 per cent of the vote. After the election, if a party does not have an outright majority, parties will negotiate to form coalitions in order to build a majority in the National Assembly. If the parties are hopelessly deadlocked and cannot form a majority, they must vote on whether to hold another election.

Economy

In Valkyria, there are two predominant types of industry: nationalised and privatised. In the history of the state, various industries have undergone nationalisation and privatisation at different times. After the 1923 revolution, Imperial Chief Marshall Fallen nationalised virtually every industry. After the Qvaitican Civil War in the 1960s, many industries were privatised either in whole or in part. After Margaret Harrison became President of Qvait and later Chancellor of Valkyria, the arms manufacturing and energy industries were nationalised in 2016. In 2017, the housing industry was also nationalised.
