The Imperial Yuan is the lower house of the National Diet of Jingdao. The Seanad is its upper house.
The Yuan has 54 members, elected for a 90-ASC year term (three months). Each District has one seat, which grants a certain advantage to the rural Provinces with more districts. 28 seats are required for a majority. The predecessor of the lower house was the Imperial Assembly.
History as Imperial Assembly
The Imperial Assembly was the elective and legislative chamber of the Jingdaoese Empire during the Minshu Period. Elections were held around every 15 daor (3 months).
The Assembly came into power with the ascension of the Zettai Emperor to the Throne in 5989 ASC. Original plans to establish it as a strong, independent legislative institution with more or the same amount of power as the Emperor were soon thwarted, after heavy protests of ultranationalists. This kind of limited constitutional democracy (for Jingdaoese standards still enormous) led to it being called the Minshu Period. The March Elections of 2016 even saw a landslide victory for the National-Centrist Party of the Rising Sun, with an election program which would further strengthen imperial power.
With the Sheng Restoration in 6263 ASC, the Assembly stopped functioning. No elections have been held since. Criticism on the institution existed since its beginning: ultranationalists saw in it the decline of old fashioned standards, while progressives called it a rubber stamp institution.
