The Congress is based in the Capitol and has two Chambers: First Chamber and Second Chamber. In the first one the MOTC can propose laws and other proposals to their colleagues for discussion. When the proposer thinks the proposal will be accepted, he can replace it to the Second Chamber, where the Members can vote on it.

The Congress is chosen by the people. The person with the most votes will become Prime Minister, a member of the federal executive branch.
