History
The National Assembly founded on June 23, 2021 as the "Federal Assembly". It originally had 5 members.
During the "collegiate period" (23 June - 24 August 2021), when the nation functioned with a Directorial system, the Federal Assembly had the authority to elect the Federal Council (the executive branch) and to choose a "Federal President" from its members.
After the end of the collegiate period, the nation transitioned into a semi-presidential system. The Federal Assembly, jointly with two representatives from each Osttonian Canton elected the President of the Federation as the "Federal Convention". This period lasted until 17 September 2021.
On 17 September, Ostton became a unitary state and the Federal Assembly became the "National Assembly". It remained its authority to elect the President until 7 February 2022.
On 7 February 2022, Ostton adopted a Basic Law, which established a presidential system and made the Presidency directly elected.
Until 7 February 2022, the Speaker of the National Assembly was known as "President of the Federal Assembly" (June 2021 - September 2021) and "President of the National Assembly" (September 2021 - February 2022).
On the 7th March, after loads of protests, the National Assembly was dissolved a provisional statute was adopted, which dissolved the National Assembly, cancelled the aforementioned Basic Law, banned political parties and established a National Diet, which served as a legislature, but was unelected [1] to balance the left-wing and the right-wing. This period ended on March 28, 2022. Until January 2023, the National Assembly it used a party-list proportional representation system to elect its members.
