The Lhedwinic Council is the official body for formal co-operation among the Lhedwinic countries. Formed in 19XX as an intergovernmental forum, it has grown to include several political, economic, and cultural components.

Initially founded as a consultative inter-parliamentary body, proposals for further integration among the Lhedwinic countries began to be seriously considered. Soon after, the countries agreed to form a passport union, allowing citizens of member-states to travel and reside in the other Lhedwinic countries without travel identification or residence permits. Despite opposition to political integration, the result of the failed United Kingdom of Lhedwin, the Lhedwinic Council expanded to include a customs union in 19XX. This was later further expanded upon to achieve a single market in 19XX, allowing for the free movement of goods, capital, services, and people among member-states.

The budget of the Lhedwinic Council is funded by its four member states: Glanodel, Navack, Crylante, and Crethia. Its secretariat and institutions are based out of Vænholm, Glanodel. The Pan-Lhedwinic Assembly is composed of members of national parliaments and its decisions are advisory.

Structure

Council

Retaining the name of the original Lhedwinic Council, the Council is responsible for intergovernmental cooperation. Heads of government have the ultimate responsibility and attend quarterly summits to discuss cooperation and issues facing member-states and Lhedwin at large. The day-to-day responsibilities of the Council are delegated to a member of the Council’s Secretariat who is nominated by the head of government of each state. The autonomous territories - Ostry, Vanir, and Sturhlund - are also represented at the Council by their governor and a designated member of the Secretariat.

Pan-Lhedwinic Assembly

The Pan-Lhedwinic Assembly consists of thirty representatives from the parliaments of participating states. The delegations sent by national parliaments reflect the relative representation of the political parties in each legislature. It meets while the national legislatures are in recess. Each of the national delegations has its own secretariat in the national parliament. Each member state sends six representatives while the autonomous territories each send two representatives.

It is able to pass non-binding resolutions, all of which are advisory in nature. Power is still vested in the national parliaments. However, the principal goal of the Pan-Lhedwinic Assembly is to facilitate cooperation among legislators in each member-state in order to implement the resolutions passed.

Secretary-General

The Secretary-General is responsible for overseeing all functions of the Lhedwinic Council. This includes meetings of the Council and the agencies created by the agreements implemented by the Council. The Secretariat, which functions as the administrative arm of the Council is led by the Secretary-General. The current Secretary-General is Ailsa Kennetdoher, of Crethia.
