Grand Senate of the United Kingdom of Thegye

The Grand Senate of the United Kingdom of Thegye, also known as the Grand Senate and the Senate, is the unicameral legislative body of the United Kingdom of Thegye. Meeting in the Palace of the Councils in Antokolopis, Thegye, the Senate is the supreme legislative body, passing laws in Thegye proper, the Dominion of South Yatar, and the Protectorate of Lutara with various degrees of authority. The authority of legislation is vested in the Senate, but the Diarchs exercise the executive power to enforce the laws and their approval is required.

The Senate consists of 540 seats elected by the citizens of Thegye every 6 years, representing 540 constituencies. The Senate is led by the Lord Chancellor, elected from among the members of the Senate. The Lord Chancellor regulates and orders the business of the Senate, although he exercises no political authority. The Priemier, elected from among the members of the Senate, acts as the head of government, wielding executive authority over the functions of the government.

The Senate has the authority to pass legislation, elect ministers of government, set budgets and taxes, and declare war. Established by The Royal Decree of the Grand Senate of the United Kingdom of Thegye, which governs its authority, and ordered by the Standing Rules of Order, the Senate was established in response to democratic riots and calls for government responsibility. A budgetary crisis, unable to be controlled by the Diarchs and their executive council, incited further riots. Established first in 1863, the first legislative body eventually reformed into the Grand Senate.
