Imperial Privy Council

The Imperial Privy Council is the highest governing body of The Theian Empire. Led by the Theian Emperor, the Council is made up of the most powerful individuals in the Empire. As defined by Imperial Law these include:


 * The Imperial Crown Prince
 * The Chairman of Imperial High Command
 * The Chairman of the Council of Governors
 * The Imperial Prime Minister
 * The Viceroy of the Imperial Treasury
 * The Lord High Justice of the Imperial Judiciary
 * The Director of Imperial Naval Intelligence
 * The Grand Master of the Sanguine Order

On certain occasions other government officials or military officiers may be invited to a meeting of the Privy Council if they may provide critical input, or an expert opinion on a certain issue under discussion.

The Council can issue independent Edicts, however its main function is to formally confirm or veto legislation arising from the Council of Governors and the Imperial Assembly. Once confirmed by the Emperor this legislation passes into Imperial Law and becomes official. Additionally, the Council serves as the primary advisory body to the Emperor, within which he can take quick action to address the concern of his subjects by creating Imperial Edicts that bypass the legislature.
