[i][h2][color=ed1c24]Hundertste Sitzung der Volkskammer[/color][/h2][/i] - [h3][color=ed1c24]Hundredth Session of the People's Chamber[/color][/h3][/center]

The Volkskammer, or People's Chamber, is the unicameral legislature of the Merkopa Demokratische Republik. It appoints the Council of the State, the Council of Ministers, and the National Defence Council. The president of the Volkskammer is the third-highest position in the government, followed behind the chairperson of the Council of the State and finally the chairperson of the Council of Ministers. These are the fine details of a functioning government, but the MDR is not exactly a government at this point. The socialist republic only had some four hundred citizens in total. The MDR is less of a government and more of a town-community. Most of the positions in the MDR are merely honorary and holds no real power since their functions were not needed. The only governmental entity that matters is the Volkskammer, and that is just a fancier way to say community meeting.

Today is the hundredth session of the People's Chamber. The topics planned to be in the discussion are very mundane things of life. People quickly shuffle into the area, a large inter-section leading to other parts of the station, and take their seats on the floor. A large circle is created and Vorsitzender, or chairperson, Berend Wagner walks into the middle of the circle. Berend Wagner is no longer within his prime, appearing a bit uncanny in appearance, but he is still very respected within the community as a leader and organizer. He yells, his voice echoing throughout the metro-system. “Thank you all for coming to the hundredth session. Today, we have a few matters that need to be looked over. First among them is the major-gas-leak close to the housing area at sections of B-two. Johannes Dieckmann, can you please stand and address the current issue to the people?” 

Johannes, an average-looking man, gets up and walks himself into the circle with Berend. He speaks. “As you’re aware, there is a gas-leak in B-two. My team and I have managed to stop the leakage, but we will be forced to clear out the gas in order to prevent any future health issues that might arise from it. People will have to be moved out shortly and A-one, at the sixteenth street of Jfaef, might be a bit overcrowded for the meanwhile. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience that this event might bring. Thank you and as a long-note. Please don’t go near the marketed areas at the intersections of the thirteenth street at N-two and fourteenth way at the eating hall. The beam structures are currently undergoing repairs,” Johannes ends and quickly fast walks back into the crowd and sits down.

“Next, we have an issue with the water-system at the twenty-first street. Günther Maleuda, can you please stand up and address the public?” And so goes on the hundredth session. This is a very important event in the lives of people in the MDR, but it is nothing overly exciting. The mundane side of life is discussed, problems are addressed, people voice new issues and concerns, debates come and go, new changes are announced, etc, etc. Long hours are common and once everything is done, people go back and absorb what they heard. Life continues in the harsh metro.
