Congress of Vorona

The Congress of Vorona, commonly known as the Voronan Congress, is the supreme legislative body in Vorona. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in Vorona. Its head is the Speaker of the Congress and its seat is the Congress Building in Godwinchester, Vorona.

Term
Congressional sessions begin on March 1 and last three years, although snap (early) elections are frequent. At the beginning of every session, a "Question Times Resolution" is brought to debate to allow correspondence between the Opposition and the Government.

Composition
The Voronan Congress consists of 125 seats representing districts within the two provinces of Vorona with approximately equal populations. There are no term limits. The Congress is presided over by the Speaker of the Congress, who is addressed as "Mr/Mrs. Speaker".

When a single party fails to achieve a majority of the seats in Congress, a coalition government is formed (it can also be formed when a party has already attained a majority). A coalition government consists of a group of parties in the government opposed to one or a group of parties that form the Minority. In a coalition government, the leader of the largest party becomes the Speaker of the Congress whereas the leaders of the other parties (besides for the largest minority party, which becomes the "Minority Leader") become their party's respective leaders. The Minority consists of the Minority Leader, which leads the minority coalition or minority party.
