The Council Of Clades (A1-0)

The Council Of Clades is the sociopolitical institution in the Empire that deals with national internal and external affairs, holding executive and legislative power together with the Emperors. The Council is nowadays mostly interested in the Ministry Of Foreign Relations, but does still hold authority over the other 6 Ministries. Founded in 5231 BBT, the Council has the role of drafting new laws, acting as an advisory body to the Emperors, and representing their thousands of species in the Empire. Despite holding both executive and legislative power, all their decisions can be vetoed by the Emperors if they so desire (however, this has rarely happened in more than 5000 years). The Council has a member for every Clade of the Galactyan Empire. The Council holds a meeting via communication every month, with a special meeting held in person at the end and start of every year, or for important or pressing situations.
