The Imperial Quorum

The Imperial Quorum is the legislative organ of the empire. Quorums are parliamentary sessions where representatives from the overnational, national, regional and local levels meet in order to discuss the issues of the empire as a whole. This system is to ensure representation of all levels of government.
The parliamentary representative, or Quorum is the legislative organ of the empire at the supranational level. Representatives are given based on the population of the local authority. This number, given the Dalmers complicated relation with borders can change radically from one quorum to another. This generally justifies the many small scale expansionist wars that happen within the empire in order to win more votes in the Quorum.
== Representatives ==
Quorum representatives are not to be confused with Chosen ones, which are elected officials destined to wield executive power. 
=== Investiture ===
The investiture period of a quorum is twofold, while it is technically for life, it expires the second the administrative subdivision no longer exists. This means in practice that should a local authority be conquered by an enemy, be it Dalmer or other race, the representative will lose his seat. 
Because of the relative rarity of Quorum elections, this makes investiture a constant battle between belligerent adsu's who want to expand their territory and centralize their power and representative candidates who want as many adsu as possible in order to open more potential seats in the Quorum. This means that some representatives appear and disappear overnight as battles ensue in their constituencies. 
=== Eligibility ===
To become a representative in the Imperial Quorum, an individual must be an elected official from a local authority. The elections take place whenever either the former representative dies or its constituency changes hands. The elections are by universal suffrage. 
== Administrative subdivision representatives ==
The Imperial Quorum is constituted of Imperial Representatives elected from every administrative subdivision.
