The four parliament bodies of the Etrian republics will begin the process of unifying into a single entity as a move toward forming stronger bonds and a national identity. This new structure will provide 25 representitives from each republic for a total of 100 to meet in the capital building - and current residence of the Republic parliament - in Kiros.

Funding the programs in recent years has been made easier by immigration to the Stegosaur territory and the nearby trade partner Basaran, however without an increase it exports in the next decade it could become difficult to continue at the level that is currently enjoyed
