Senate
The Senate is the legislative branch of the Federal Republic's government, this institution is central to the Republic since it is its vote that is necessary for a host of government processes. Since its founding in 2200, this institution has been at the center of government decisions and has acted on many occasions as a place to debate major societal issues.
Structure
Leadership
The Senate is headed by the President of the Senate who is in charge of carrying out the procedures within the Senate, he appoints the people within the various standing committees and can create new one on current topics by obtaining the prior agreement of the Senate. His role is very important since he is the one who assembles the agenda according to the chronological order of the proposals and their priority.
Composition
The Senate is made up of 5 500 senators, 60% of these are assigned according to the electoral results in the federal constituencies where they represent approximately 156 million citizens, while the remaining 40% is assigned proportionally. Indeed, the citizens vote a second time for their party of their choice, the result of this vote is distributed proportionally to the remaining senators, the independent senators represent the white vote at the level of the proportional ballot. These are elected by universal suffrage for a four-year term with a maximum of four terms in their lifetime.Approves or rejects the proposals of the government, if this one is refused, they can propose amendments throught their parties. May also vote on motions of symbolic significance proposed by the parties, they are generally used to indicate the opinion of the Senate on a subject. In the end, they Choose the Vice-President and all the secretaries of the State Council from the three choices proposed by the President in the case of the Vice-President and the latter for the secretaries.
Commissions
The Senate has two permanent commissions, two of which the senators sitting there are appointed by the President of the Senate at each proposal, other temporary ones on various subjects can be formed by the latter. The first permanent is the Senate Commission on Referendum Approval which is responsible for validating the signatures as well as approving the referendum or refusing it only on some pretext, either the signatures are not valid, or the proposal violates the rights of citizens or is considered unreasonable and impossible to apply. The last one is the Senate Commission on Legislative Proposals which studies executive bills and produces a report. This one is made to guide senators on the consequences of the proposal on the Republic, be it a law, a change of constitution or a diplomatic treaty.Another organization which is not really a commission, but which depends on the legislature, even if this one is completely independent, is the Federal Civil Service Office. The latter has several objectives, he is in charge of setting up commissions which are responsible for selecting three candidates and approve the dismissal from a superior for several management positions within agencies considered independent by law. Also, it is in charge of dealing with cases of non-criminal professional misconduct by senior officials of the first or second order and determining the sanction to be applied. Finally, it must validate the candidates proposed by the President and the Prime Minister to fill government positions.
Politics
As in most legislatures, political parties were formed very quickly after the founding of the Senate where this kind of grouping is essential for the adoption of government proposals. Although they were not the same as today, some current parties are the descendants, the result of mergers or a transformation of these old parties. Today, the Senate is divided around five political parties, the Progressive Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Democratic Renewal Party, the Republican Party and the National Pride Party.

I think it was John Lennon who said that New York was modern-day Rome. And I think it's fitting that you would pick New York as the government's base of operations. New York City, aside from Los Angeles, where many people go to get rich and famous. Good to see you back!

Thank you for validating my proposition, I also think New York is the best idea, being the location of the actual UN headquarters. It's a pleasure to be here again!
