Aragan Reichstag

The Aragan Reichstag, commonly referred to as simply the Reichstag, or the Aragan Parliament, was the unicameral supreme legislature and primary body of government of the Aragan Empire. Asides from the Fuhrer (the quasi-authoritarian head of state) individually, it superseded all other forms of governance in the nation. The Reichstag not only voted on and passed laws, it also held partial judicial power — alongside the National Court — due to its parliamentary supremacy and executive power to act as checks and balances to the Fuhrer. The Reichstag was made legitimate and given its function per the Aragan National Constitution. All Aragan citizens had the right to participate in the Reichstag (although it was not mandatory by law), meaning they could be MPs, propose bills, vote on laws, veto the Fuhrer, and/or form political parties and coalitions.

Procedure
The Reichstag was presided by the Fuhrer of the Aragan Empire. They had two main functions, which were being the speaker of the house, specifically moderating debate and calling votes, and being the head of the General Secretary.

Members of the Reichstag, typically called MPs, have the ability to vote on non-emergency acts of importance, laws, and even amendments to the Aragan National Constitution. The Fuhrer can veto all decisions except for a vote of their abdication; this essentially meant in practice that the Reichstag has the final decision on most issues. Votes were either held in formal meetings called by the Fuhrer inside the Reichstag building in Berlin or spontaneously in the Aragan Discord server's #reichstag channel.

An important governing body that existed inside of the Reichstag was the General Secretary, or the cabinet. It served as mostly an advisory board to the Fuhrer and to other MPs writing laws, aiding them both govern the nation. There existed four specialized positions inside the General Secretary by the end of Earth World Mark VII: the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of S.T.E.M., the Secretary of Internal Matters, and the Secretary of Jew Matters. Although in theory this body had foremost legislative power over the rest of the Reichstag, it was rarely, if not ever, used.

Political parties were able to be created within the Reichstag, which would represent certain blocs or interests; however, pro-Starymglian parties were banned and formerly left-wing parties as well. These parties were able to form coalitions with each other in order to form governments. The leader of said coalitions was the Chancellor, which essentially served the role of Prime Minister; they would be appointed by the Fuhrer.
