The Grand Washingtonian Assembly (officially shortened to Grand Assembly and unofficially the Assembly) is the unicameral legislature of the Kingdom of Washingtonia. Created as a common ground between the royalists and the republicans after the Washingtonian Civil War in 1910, the Grand Assembly was one of the nation's major moves toward democracy. Between 1910 and 1913, however, the Assembly was called the Constitutional Assembly, in its capacity to draft the Kingdom's first Constitution.

| - The Grand Washingtonian Assembly (officially shortened to Grand Assembly and unofficially the Assembly) is the unicameral legislature of the Kingdom of Washingtonia. Created as a common ground between the royalists and the republicans after the Washingtonian Civil War in 1910, the Grand Assembly was one of the nation's major moves toward democracy. Between 1910 and 1913, however, the Assembly was called the Constitutional Assembly, in its capacity to draft the Kingdom's first Constitution. The Grand Assembly consists of three hundred seats occupied by elected assemblymen. The population as a whole indirectly elects 250 assemblymen by means of a party-list proportional representation system every five years. Each provincial legislature (North Island and South Island), which is elected 10 days before the national elections, elects from its own ranks 10 assemblymen for the Grand Assembly (thus 20 from both the provinces). The remaining 30 assemblymen are separately elected at the Assembly's first sitting by the 270 assemblymen from an approved list of advocacy group candidates; representing certain industries or professional fields. The 20 assemblymen from the provincial legislatures remain seated until recalled by their respective legislature (usually after a new provincial legislature is elected). The 250 party ballot assemblymen serve for 5 years (unless recalled by their parties), and the 30 interest-group candidates serve until the next general election. The President and King, shortly before the national election, by means of a referendum ask the population which interest groups they would like to see represented in the Assembly, and then decide (with the King having the final say), which to approve. The Union Nationalist Party and the Christian Libertarian Party are the two major parties currently represented in the Grand Assembly, along with three smaller parties. These parties are the Liberal Party, which is in an alliance with the CLP; the Washingtonians First Front, which is in an uneasy alliance with the UNP, and the quasi-communist Socialist Party, which is considered a fringe political group in the heavily capitalist nation. The Constitution allows for an unlimited amount of parties to be present in the Assembly up to the cap of 300 seats. The UNP has 172 assemblymen (including those from the constituencies, the provinces and the interest groups) and the CLP has 89. The Grand Assembly is located in the purpose-build Assembly Hall in Foundersville, and is led by a first among equals Speaker.
