Longer Parliament Terms & Federation

The 8th Parliament of the Federation of WolvHaven was the first Federal Parliament under the newly formed Federation of WolvHaven. The Parliamentary terms were also extended to 6 months instead of the current 3 to give members more time to research and look into policies and bills to form better proposals for policy. The Senate also has the power to dissolve the parliament after a minimum of 3 months if the parliament has a low approval rating across WolvHaven.

The newly formed Federation of WolvHaven also meant that the Gardellia was awarded state status and therefore could have its own house of legislation; called the Gardellian Assembly. The Gardellian Parliament was to handle state level issues such as the construction of infrastructure and services within the state and its state-level laws.

Meanwhile, decisions made in the Federal Parliament of WolvHaven apply server-wide, overriding those of the Gardellian Parliament should there be a conflict.
