The Federation Assembly (Laiatanese: Федерация Ассамблея, tr. Federatsiya Assambleya) is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of Laiatan consisting of two houses: the Federal Council and the People's Council. The Federation Assembly meets in the Capitol in Volkgoroda. Both federal councilmen and people's councilmen are chosen through direct election, though vacancies in the Federal Council may be filled by a gubernatorial appointment. Members are affiliated to United Laiatan, Republic Party, or Free People's Party and only rarely to a third-party or as independents. The Federation Assembly has 482 voting members: 450 People's Councilmen and 32 Federal Councilmen.
The members of the People's Council serve two-year terms representing the people of a single constituency, known as a "district". People's Council districts are apportioned to provinces by population using the Laiatanese Census results, provided that each province has at least one congressional representative. Each province, regardless of population or size, has two Federal Councilmen. Currently, there are 32 Federal Councilmen representing the fifteen provinces and single federal territory. Each Federal Councilman is elected at-large in his or her province for a six-year term, with terms staggered, so every two years approximately one-third of the Federal Council is up for election.
