Parliament of Stairmark

The Parliament of Stairmark (Párlemtát Kóbymárkát Sérsmárká) is the unicameral legislative assembly of the Kingdom of Stairmark, and the highest institution of state power besides the Monarchy of Stairmark. It is one of the oldest continuously-operating legislatures in the world, having first opened in its current form on 15 March 1616.

The Parliament of Stairmark is responsible for deliberating and voting upon bill proposals, which if passed serve as the kingdom's primary legislation; bills which pass in Parliament must be granted royal assent by the Monarch of Stairmark to be ratified and become official law. In practice, the Monarch is expected to be impartial and to approve virtually all legislation. In addition to the 155 Members of Parliament (MPs), the monarch may also introduce bills to Parliament to be deliberated upon and subsequently put to vote.
