The elected body of officials for the Revolutionary Republic of Bamonia.

It consists of 50 representatives from the 10 states that together make up the country, with the 5 Duma members each representing the 5 local council districts within the states.

After the end of the Anstastopolis Monarchy in 2052, the Duma became the nation's first electoral body representated by the common people. And until 2056 when the first open-party Premier elections took place, it was the only institution in the country that allowed other political parties outside The Revolutionary Bamonian Communist Party (BRCP) to have candidates run for office.

The major opposition party in the Duma is The Democratic Reform Party led by Duma member Theodore Bradhi, who ran against Alexius Andralak in the first Premier elections. The DRP controls the minority of seats in the Duma, holding only 13 out of the 50.
