The Great National Assembly is the supreme body of the Kingdom of Juclandia and the institutional body of the sovereign power of the Kingdom, the Juclandian people. The Assembly has 159 members, which comprise all of Juclandia’s national citizens (plush toys).

It is a unicameral legislature based on principles of direct democracy: the Constitution automatically grants membership in the assembly to every ‘national citizen’ of Juclandia. National citizens are non-human (cuddly toys), whereas the human citizens are defined as ‘federally-sanctioned citizens’.

When the 2012 amendment to the 2011 Constitution was in force, it was a bicameral legislature of 37 members (25 deputies and 12 senators), elected for an yearly term, but between 2008 and 2012 the Great National Assembly was unicameral and had 30 members elected for an yearly term.

On 29 November 2014, the Great National Assembly was dissolved in its entirety and was replaced with a National Constituent Assembly that drafted Juclandia’s 2015 Constitution, which entered into force on the 1st of May.
