The Legislative Assembly is the governing body of Rosferia, and consists of 745 members of all species and walks of life. Most of them lack political experience as a result, but there are some who are learned and intelligent. Like a modern bicameral legislature, it is divided in to a political right and left, but also includes delegates in the "middle" so to speak. The King of Rosferia presides over the Assembly, but his only real power is to veto or approve of laws that the Assembly drafts up. The Assembly is however, unicameral, as parties are forbidden by law.
The left is made up of the anti-royalists and various "clubs" around the city that support the revolution. Most are in favor of working with the King, but believe he has no authority over them whatsoever and that he is merely there to assist the will of the people. They are in favor of continuing the revolution and going to war with Kostritz and Gradvar if they can help it. They are diverse as well, some being extreme to the point of wanting each province to become its own nation, others feeling that the nation should remain as one under citizenry rule. They are against the Rosferians that have fled the country, and are anticlerical as well, and secretly hope for a full republic someday. They currently make up 330 of the 745 members of the Assembly.
The right is primarily made up of the royalists, or those still in support of the King and keeping him around, if not outright reinstalling him in power. They tend to act and vote conservatively, trying to determine what it is their King wants. They too favor war, but for different reasons than the left. They wish Kostritz and Gradvar to reinstate their King on the throne and end this chaos, and tend to serve as a check to the left. They comprise 165 of the 745 members of the Assembly.
The middle or "Mountain" as it's called due to the large raised seats they take in the middle of the chambers is neither for one side or the other, but most note that the "Mountain" tends to be more leftist thinking if anything else. They are people who generally feel less extreme than the right and left. They comprise 250 members of the 745 member Assembly.
