INTRODUCTION

The Royal Duma is a general assembly made up of nobility and elected representatives to advise the Crown on kingdom affairs and create laws or legislation that affect the ruling of the kingdom and address issues within the law codex of Haense. In recent times, it is seen as fit to bring the duma under one session after the lessening peers under Haense and furthermore the increasing participation in elections. This will allow for a full opinion on bills presented, and for Haeseni legislation to be one voice.
