What information should I provide in the application?
You are free to provide the information that you want for your character, provided that they comply with the following rules:

• Their name must be Greek.
  
• They must have been at least 25 years old by 1 January 2015.
  
• They must reside in one of the themes that are displayed in this map, provided that no more than 2 members may be from the same theme.
  
• There may only be a maximum of 3 members per party. If your desired party is already full, you will have to select another one.

What are themes?
Themes are the terms used to refer to the 25 subdivisions in Selene.

Are there any requirements aside from filling the application?
The same requirements to apply to for a plot on the regional map apply here. You must have a nation in the region and pass a security check, meant to verify that you are not a banned player or using your account to get additional seats.

Can I be removed from the House of Commons?
You will be removed if you have missed at least half of all votes in any given month, or if, in the opinion of the Speaker, you have not been sufficiently active in the House during the same given month. You may appeal all removals to the Founder by posting a thread in Kalominos Palace, but please try to reserve this venue for cases when the Speaker may have abused their power. Frivolous appeals will be denied.

What if I have more questions?
You may direct all your questions to the Public Inquiries Office or contact Justinian or Constantine through private message.
