Supreme People's Assembly (USSE)

The Supreme People's Assembly of the United Socialist States of Eldham, often known as the SPA, or by its name in the Lo'Oi language which is the Dégáxo Garxása Kelitá (DGK), is the current legislative branch of the government to the United Socialist States of Eldham. It is the third legislature to be created in the nation and is the successor to the former National Assembly and the legislative control temporarily allowed to the Central Committee of the Communist Party.

It was formally created in 248 TE with the passing of the Constitutional Overhaul Act by public referendum; which included the Supreme People's Assembly Act as part of its legislative package. The First Supreme People's Assembly was elected in 251 TE.

The leader of the Supreme People's Assembly is the Premier, the position is currently vacant. Its members as known as Supreme People's Representatives.

The SPA is currently in its fourth session, with the Fourth Supreme People's Assembly being elected in 284 TE. The position of Premier is currently vacant.

Number of seats
The number of seats in any session of the Supreme People's Assembly is decided by a census that is conducted beforehand. The standard is that the total number of valid census respondents is counted, and that number is divided by 7, counting up. Seats are established based on that result. This means that any one member of the SPA will represent seven active residents of the country.

Elections
Elections happen on a basis of 6 weeks, or 42 days, as with most positions in the USSE. Any fully registered Citizen may partake in these elections. Seats are allocated to the most voted candidates in the elections, for instance the most popular candidate will receive Seat I. If there are 10 seats, the 10th most popular candidate will be awarded Seat X. The usage of roman numerals is most standard for the numeration of the seats. Where there are ties, seats are awarded based on the alphabetical order of the candidate's name, with priority to their lore/roleplay name, than their Minecraft username.

In the event that, for instance, 3 people are tied for a final seat of the legislature, a runoff election is held to determine who of the 3 should be let in to the session and awarded a seat.

Political parties except for the Communist Party are outright banned in the USSE, but you do not need to be formal member in order to run in elections, with the sole exception of Communist Party-specific positions. Most government officials are members of the Communist Party, and this is representative in the membership of the SPA. In the Fourth Supreme People's Assembly, two people ran as independents. The only session of the SPA to fully comprise of only Communist Party members was the Third SPA.

Premier
The Premier, known in Lo'Oi as the Léoto, is considered the formal leader of the Supreme People's Assembly and has duties such as organizing and counting votes, demanding physical or digital meetings of the SPA, have permissions to act as a diplomat and a representative on behalf of the entire SPA, and act as a tie-breaker in votes held within the SPA. In the event that both the General Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the USSE are suddenly vacant, the Premier becomes the new interim General Secretary, but this process has never happened before.

The Premier is elected immediately after the election of a session of the SPA, and the first duty of any SPA is electing the Premier. No legislation may be passed before the Premier has been voted into power.
