The Chamber of Tribunes is the upper chamber of the National Diet, the Senate being the middle chamber, and the Chamber of Censors being the lower chamber. Together they compose the legislature of Millania. The Chamber is composed of Member Tribunes who sit in electoral constituencies that are allocated on a basis of population as measured by the Millanian Census, with each constituency entitled to one representative. Since its inception in 2017, all representatives have been directly elected. The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 8, unless an auxiliary represented is deemed as necessary. In addition to this basic power, the Chamber has certain exclusive powers which include the power to initiate all bills, the impeachment of government officials, who are sent to trial before the Senate. The presiding officer is the President of the Chamber, who doubles as the Lord Chamberlain, who is elected by the members thereof. Other floor leaders are chosen by the Chamberlain. The Chamber meets in Cordrey Place in Pasabrillo. Elections Elections for representatives are held every six months, on the fifteenth day of either June or December. In all electoral constituencies, major party candidates for each district are nominated in partisan primary elections, typically held two weeks beforehand. The members of the Chamber of Tribunes are elected in a Preferential System, which is more representative of voter population. Terms Representatives and Delegates serve for six-month terms. The Nakjatsa permits either Chamber to expel a member with a two-thirds vote. In the history of Millania, only one member has been expelled from the Terataga. The Chamber also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members; censure or reprimanding of a member requires only a simple majority, and does not remove that member from office. Checks and balances The Senate may propose a "vote of no confidence" by a simple majority vote; however, a supermajority is required for impeachment in the Chamber of Tribunes. A convicted official is automatically removed from office and may be disqualified from holding future office under Millania. No further punishment is permitted during the impeachment proceedings; however, the party may face criminal penalties in a normal court of law. In the history of the Millania, the Terataga (Parliament at the time) has impeached one official.

The National Diet is the Legislative Branch of Millania. The Terataga is charged with the passage of legislation, known as acts of law, which are sent to the Emperor for consideration. It is also charged with the declaration of war, and has the control of the economy. The presiding officer is the President of the House, who doubles as the Lord Chamberlain, who is elected by the members thereof. Other floor leaders are chosen by the President. The Diet meets in Cordrey Place in Pasabrillo. The members of the Senate assemble at any given place, and solve issues in a swift and largely nonpolitical manner. The members of the Chamber of Censors are largely a group of nobles appointed by the Emperor, as well as a small group of representatives from the Chamber of Tribunes.

Comparison As a check on the popular and rapidly changing politics of the Chamber of Tribunes, the Senate has several distinct powers. For example, the power to approve treaties is a sole Senate privilege. The Senate and Chamber of Tribunes are further differentiated by term lengths and the number of districts represented: the Chamber of Tribunes has shorter terms of six months, and more members (currently eight). The Chamber of Tribunes is informally referred to as the "upper" chamber, and the Senate as the "middle" chamber. The Censors, or the "lower" chamber, is different in that all but one of its seats are appointed directly by the monarch.
