History
Federal Legislature
The Easwegian Grand Chamber was created on 14 January 2020 as part of the Directorial Federation Constitution establishment, and served as the federal legislature, a successor to the Constitutional Assembly. In this sense, it was categorised as the sixth United Common Assembly in its existence as a legislative body between 14 January and 25 May 2020.
It's common colloquial name of House of Zerri comes from Ezerryen Loumzerri, literally Easwegian House, and refers to the term of loum also referring to a group of people.
As the sixth assembly, the EGC contained the Chief Coordinator (chief head of state) as its speaker and its membership also included the governors of the provinces (municipalities), as well as for a brief time the Marquis of Essrina, who accompanied the governor of Essrina.
Cultural and Linguistic Commission
On 29 August 2023, President Metalli appointed former Grand Lady Sannu Meizcherni Raizerni as the Chief Researcher for the Committee on Ezaari Eurasian Roots. The committee cross-checked the Easwegian Chronicles with real-world data and archeological foundings and theorised that the Ezaari Easwegians find their roots within the late Bronze Age Karasuk Culture of the Altai Mountains in central Asia. The Karasuk culture itself forms the Yeniseian languages to form the Karasuk languages, of which Burushaski spoken largely in Kashmir, and Ezerryen Easwegian of the Barents region is speculated to also be a member of.
Examples of the Easwegian-Karasuk connection are:
