These talks ended up being successful, and a Constitution was drafted, written by [[Sayerleft]] (primary author), [[Vorobyevite]], Bermana, and with input from many others. The nation was named the Evergreen Republic by consensus among the delegations from the government, which quickly grew into a de facto constituent assembly. The Constitution was promulgated by the [[Salish Confederation#Parliament|Salish Parliament]] on 10 February and [[Cascadia#Senate|Senate of Cascadia]] on 14 February, in which the Evergreen Republic was formally established on 14 February 2022 and the Republic of Cascadia and Salish Confederation formally dissolved. | ||
[[Xyyz0]], incumbent [[Cascadia#President|President of Cascadia]] was chosen as the interim President of the Republic and [[FroyourFilms]], incumbent [[Chancellor of the Salish Confederation|Chancellor of Salish]] was chosen as [[Chancellor of the Evergreen Republic|chancellor]] to lead the interim [[Cabinet of the Evergreen Republic|cabinet]] before scheduled elections for President were to be held alongside elections for the Assembly of the Republic on 27 and 28 February 2022. In addition, the 1st Assembly of the Republic consisted of all incumbent Salish MPs and Cascadian Senators. The Constitution provided for a semi-presidential system of a government, as contrasted to the presidential system used in Cascadia and the parliamentary system used in the Salish Confederation, in which the President was to be the head of state, while the Chancellor (nominated by the President and appointed by the Assembly) was to be the head of government. | [[Xyyz0]], incumbent [[Cascadia#President|President of Cascadia]] was chosen as the interim President of the Republic and [[FroyourFilms]], incumbent [[Chancellor of the Salish Confederation|Chancellor of Salish]] was chosen as [[Chancellor of the Evergreen Republic|chancellor]] to lead the interim [[Cabinet of the Evergreen Republic|cabinet]] before scheduled elections for President were to be held alongside elections for the Assembly of the Republic on 27 and 28 February 2022.

The entirety of the Assembly is elected, however there is no set number of seats. The Delegates of the Assembly are elected by the entire electorate. Each candidate to be elected as a Delegate of the Assembly (DA) must receive a quota of votes equal to or greater than 4% of the total population of all citizens of the Republic’s discord; however, the minimum number of votes that the election quota may be is three. Each voter may vote for as many candidates as one so pleases. The number of votes required for election in this instance is three. | ||
