The Federal Council of Tarper is a legislative body that represents the twelve states of Tarper at the federal level. The Council meets at the Palace of States in Terraum.
The Federal Council participates in legislation, alongside the Bundestag, the directly elected representatives of the people of Tarper, with laws affecting state competencies and all constitutional changes requiring the consent of the body. It is equivalent in function to an upper house of parliament.
The modern Federal Council is the successor similar upper houses in Tarper's history like the Imperial Diet of the TSE, the General Courts of the UKT, the Hall of Confederation of the CTCR, and the Officer's Chamber of the Republic.
The political makeup of the Council is affected by changes in power in the states of Tarper, and thus by elections in each state. Each state delegation in the Federal Council is essentially a representation of the state government and reflects the political makeup of the ruling majority or plurality of each state legislature (including coalitions).
