The Federation Council is the upper house of the National Diet of Fratanica, which represents the 14 administrative provinces, as well as the capital city and two non-autonomous, overseas territories. There are 32 seats indirectly elected by provincial legislators, meant to represent the interests of these provinces. Members of the Federation Council serve 6-year terms, with a 2-term limit.
As the upper house, the Federation Council partakes in legislation involving provincial affairs or constitutional affairs. Legislation involving itself is also within the Federation Council's jurisdiction. A supermajority of 2/3 is required for each piece of legislation to pass, meaning that at least 22 votes are required for the passage of a bill.
