Peoples Council of Sentryzijâ

The Peoples Council is the lower house and primary chamber of the parliament of the Socialist Federation of Sentryzijâ. It meets at the national Tyrvałik at Olânvârisk.

The Peoples Council is an elected body consisting of 931 members known as Councillors. Councillors are elected to represent districts by the first-past-the-post system and hold their seats until they are unseated in an election. There is no term limit for serving as a Councillor.

The Peoples Council was created on the 20th of January 1924 by Vyðrin Mykrâz Joko as part of his consolidation of power. It replaced the Congress of Representatives of the Labouring Classes, the legislature created by Dânijâl Vârisk and predominantly made up of opponents of Vyðrin. From 1924 until 1974 elections in the country were not free or fair with only members of the Socialist Party of Sentryzijâ being allowed on the ballot. 1974 to 1077 saw a brief period of liberal democracy. However the period was marked by increased civil disorder, government corruption and a failed policy of economic "shock therapy". However all of this culminated in a general strike and a military coup by Variskist elements of the military. Following the 1977 Variskist coup d'etat democracy was abruptly ended and opposition cracked down upon, marking the beginning of the Third Red Terror. In 1980 a new constitution was created by Alyik Mykraz Lanâ and democracy was once again introduce, albeit in the form of the Alyikist "Socialist democracy".
