The Philimanian Legistlative Council (TPLC) is the unicameral legislature of the Republic of Philimania. The legislature is a body comprising 70 members.

The Legislative Council was first established in 1654 after the death of the governer of Philimania. The powers and functions of the legislature expanded throughout its history. Today the main functions of the Legislative Council are to enact, amend or repeal laws; examine and approve budgets, taxation and public expenditure; and raise questions on the work of the government. In addition, the Legislative Council is also given the power to endorse the appointment and removal of the judges of the Court of Final Appeal and the Chief Judge of the High Court, as well as the power to impeach the Chief Executive of Philimania.

Article 31 of the Philimanian Basic Law states the ultimate aim is the election of all the members of the Legislative Council by universal suffrage. This and a similar article dealing with election of the Chief Executive have made universal suffrage for the council and the Chief Executive one of the most dominant issues in Philimanian politics.
