Supreme Council

The Supreme Council was the judicial branch of the government of the Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion. It was convened twice a Tionese month on Tion in the capital city known as Tionica in order to hear and make decisions on the most important, but various judicial cases in the entire Union. They dealt with cases such as rebellion, piracy, taxes raises, tax cuts, and other criminal acts. Though the Supreme Council had no visible political power, the Council was required in order to pass any law, declare war on any other politcal entity or government, or pass other legislation. Even though the Council wielded this power it was still defunct, as the judges were appointed by the Grand Tions based on the similarity of views between themselves and the judges. Thus making the Supreme Council just a puppet organization that would approve every law or order that the Grand Tion would like to pass.

The Supreme Council was composed of fifty elder statesmen, and military leaders who were either to old for active duty, or who were too lazy to pursue any other task with vigor. As such, the various members of the Supreme Council would not aggressively act on a case. The entire judicial system would take months if not years to complete or pass a decision on even the most simple of cases. Many judges could be bought as well, meaning that more often than not criminals were not punished unless the Supreme Council was given a directive by the Grand Tion saying for them to do so. At least sixty five percent of the Supreme Council had to approve a declaration of war. Only twenty five percent had to approve of a law, and only forty percent had to agree in order to approve an order of the Grand Tion. Thus making it easy for the current Grand Tion to manipulate the Council into doing everything exactly as he or she wished.
