Structure

There are 16 total voting seats in the Xarslasja Legislature, apportioned based on the villager population found in each of the eleven voting counties, with the maximum number of seats locked in place until further notice. As such, Yuma County has, by far, the highest representation, with 4 seats. Coconino and Santa Cruz Counties each have two seats. The remaining counties have one seat each. There is a non-voting seat reserved for the District of Ngibraltar, two non-voting guest seats for international dignitaries or other important figures who may wish to give a speech on issues of importance to them, and a seat for the Bezuv, named the "Veto Seat."

The Speaker of the House leads meetings, and, while they have no direct power in the Legislature, they represent the interests of the Legislature as a whole when working with the Akuv of the XLA.

Measures are passed by simple majority, unless the measure is vetoed by the Bezuv, in which case it must be passed with a two-thirds supermajority. As the Bezuv resides in the Copper Palace of Arcosanti, Pima County (wherein Arcosanti is ubicated) is often disdained for holding a disproportionate amount of power in the Legislature.

In light of the Coup Sabah, the Legislature began sessions to decide the fate of the Xarslasja Port Authority to prevent something of the sort from happening again.
