The Parakkan Senate would consist of three representative from each of the 152 Provinces within the Empire. Using the Transferable Vote system. This would bring the total number of Senators to 456 seats. The party with the most seats has their leader become the President of the Senate.

Furthermore, shortly after the creation of the Senate, the Senate elected to form - with the Emperors permissions and amendments - the Eternal Council. The Eternal Council would consist of 13 members who would be up for election every 13 years. Their main job were to ensure that the Senate obeyed the laws of the Empire, provide an emergency council in times of war, would deal with impeachment of a Senator (and visa versa), would also act as the Supreme Court of the Empire and finally would also help with the creation and amendments of laws, before seeking the Senate and Emperors approval.
