Council electorate

The Council electorate is a council that plays a vital role in the government of the Imperial Empire. Each state of the Empire, other than the 10 provinces, each have two representatives in the council. These representatives vote on matters that are considered important to the Empire, and are often in discussions with the Emperor to determine new laws and regulations. The council also holds a vote whenever it is unclear who is to be the next Emperor in case of a succession crisis. However, many times when this occurs, even if the council's vote for the new emperor occurs, it is not a legitimate guarantee for that person that they will be the new emperor, but it does help increase their claim to the throne.
