Two countries that have had previous troubles with quorums are the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
In many U.S. legislative bodies, such as the United States Senate and House of Representatives, if there is no quorum present a call of the house could be ordered, which would cause absent members to be arrested and brought to the floor of the body.
The House of Lords of the Parliament of the United Kingdom can decide on procedural issues with only three members present.
