The State Council, often referred to as the Council is the upper house of the Seketese Hérvynsken tha represents the 7 provincial governments of Seketan. The Council meets in the former Royal Chambers of the Hérvynsken Building in Conelibek. The current President of the Council is Ajek Denn since February 2019.
The Council is the less powerful of the Hérvynsken. Only the lower Commons Council can introduce money bills and votes of non-confidence, and any bill unrelated to the Seketese Constitution or the powers of the provinces only needs approval from the Commons. Inspired by the German Bundesrat, most of its members are ex officio through their respective provincial ministries. These members often send deputies to serve while they are busy in their home province.
Membership in the council is very fluid as all the members are appointed by provincial governments. The political makeup usually changes when a new provincial government is created after provincial elections. Each province's delegations are representative of the government, with general and expert seats distributed to governing parties. Due to this lack of direct elections, the Council is a continuous body without set sessions. Even when the Commons is dissolved for a general election the Council's committees often continue to conduct its business.
History
Precersors
While the Commons Council has existed essentially continuously since 1799, Seketan's upper house has changed a lot during its evolution of government. Under the Kingdom of Seketan it was known as the House of Elders and was made up of the monarch's closest nobels, forming the monarch's court. Over time it would reform itself into an appointed house similar to the UK's House of Lords until 1884 when it was abolished when Seketan was merged into the Nelbec Empire.
After the Seketese Revolution and subsequent civil war, the Second Seketese Republic was established with the upper house taking on its current name, the State Council. From 1924 to 1925 the council was split between Seketese and Wilsk representatives, however, in 1926 this system was abolished in favour of a 21-person appointed council. In 1945 with the formation of the Third Seketese Republic it was abolished completely, leaving Seketan with a unicameral legislature until 1978.
