The New Hampshire General Court is bicameral in nature, just like certain other legislatures I could mention. At 400 members, NH House of Representatives is apparently "the third-largest parliamentary body in the English speaking world" after the U.S. Congress and Britain's Parliament, but serves a relatively small population of 1.3 million. In any event, their chamber was light and airy...
