Overview

The Sekidean Council is elected by the legislatures of member states. Each state sends three deputies, allowing for a representation of more than a single political view. Despite this, the Sekidean Council is defined to be strictly non-partisan. Organs voting in deputies are:

• Canton River Delta - The Blue Parliament
• Hondonia - Vorbirea
• Kentalis - Estates-General
• Kistolia - Legislative Congress
• Mustelaria - Federal Council
• Moldanovica - Parliament
• Prei Meas - United Chamber
• Speke - Parliament
• Torvon - Parliament

Outside of state legislatures, one quarter of the chamber (that means 1 seat for each member state) is reserved for nominations from the Sekidean Tribune, which serves as an advisory board, that represents autonomous and other sub-national entities. Although not specified by law or any regulation, it is generally assumed, that most of those seats would be reserved for people representing autonomies and other semi-autonomous regions, whose interests can not be sufficiently represented by the national delegates.

Appointment to the Council

Representants from each country are either replaced or reelected after a new government cabinet is formed, usually after a legislative election to a lower house of a national parliament. State legislature can replace a representant from the Sekidean Council by a simple majority, if at least two of the following conditions have been met:

• The Deputee is openly standing in opposition to the government of the country that nominated him
• The Deputee has violated a law set by the home country
• The Deputee has served for more than 5 years
• The Deputee has been nominated by a party, that does not participate in the government
• The Deputee did not show up for at least 5 meetings in a row
• The Deputee is incapable of carrying out the duty due to a boycott
• The Deputee is incapable of carrying out the duty due to an illness
• The Deputee has been reprimanded for misconduct by the Council
