This group is known as the Assembly of Crownsmen.

The Council of Regions is the upper house, and contains five representatives (known as Regionals) from each of the 16 Regions. These Regionals are elected on a 8-year term cycle.

The National Council is the lower house, and contains ten representatives from each region, as well as a representative of each major city. These representatives (known as Nationals) are elected on a 4-year term cycle.



There are three main political parties in Ostania; the Economic Party, which is backed by prominent members of the House of Deseraine, the Progress Party, which is more Liberal and increasingly anti-royal, and the Conservative Party, which is more conservative and opposed to vast social change in Ostania, as well as generally supporting the royals and being supported by some of the House of Deseraine.
