Following the formation of the government of national emergency, the lower house was abolished and all its powers and duties were transferred to the High Council of State. The council is the nation's sole legislature, composed of five hundred members. Of these, a third are chosen by the sitting president and the rest are elected by direct vote of the population. All members of the council serve for five year terms and there is no limit on how many terms a legislator can serve.

The National Union of Canpei(NUC) is the largest and oldest party in the High Council of State. An avowed conservative party, it leans towards traditional values and moderate state intervention in economic affairs. However unlike typical conservative parties, the NUC does not heaviliy feature nationalist themes in its ideology. After the [[Daxia]]ese invasion that restored it into government, the party 'sanitized' its foundational documents and adopted an almost subservient direction to [[Daxia]]ese priorities. The NUC has a two thirds majority on the High Council. Opposition to the ruling NUC comes from a variety of smaller parties such as the centrist Party of the Democratic Center and the leftist Broad Leftist Front. Both of these parties are under constant political and judicial pressure, having lost their party registry several times, having some of their leaders and lawmakers arrested under various charges such as 'slandering the judiciary'.

'''Zuiyuan''': The majority group in Canpei is a group of people called Zuiyuan, which is a term that only distinctly emerged in the mid-1800's. Roughly signifying 'northerners', the Zuiyuan are assumed to be comprised of the descendants of Canpei before the Zhong reconquest of the province, that is the original settlers who intermixed with the native nomad populations. Those that came after the fall of the [[United Cities]] were traditionally seen as colonizers and treated with suspicion since they displaced the locals from most positions of power and influence. The independence movement and first governments of Canpei were dominated by the Zuiyuan but after the Daxian invasion, policies that disadvantaged other groups were dropped. Daxian anthropologists do not recognize the Zuiyuan as a distinct group, instead using the term of Plains Daxian.
'''Hao''': The majority group in Canpei is a group of people called Hao, which is a term that only distinctly emerged in the mid-1800's. Roughly signifying 'northerners', the Hao are assumed to be comprised of the descendants of Canpei before the Zhong reconquest of the province, that is the original settlers who intermixed with the native nomad populations. Those that came after the fall of the [[United Cities]] were traditionally seen as colonizers and treated with suspicion since they displaced the locals from most positions of power and influence. The independence movement and first governments of Canpei were dominated by the Hao but after the Daxian invasion, policies that disadvantaged other groups were dropped. Daxian anthropologists do not recognize the Hao as a distinct group, instead using the term of Plains Daxian.


'''Daxian''': For political purposes, the Canpei government separated part of its population fron the main Zuiyuan group after independence. Those whose descent did not go back far enough in time were barred from self-identifying as Zuiyuan and therefore had less standing before the state. This system of tiered citizenship eventually became intolerable for Daxian on both sides of the border, leading to the collapse of the post-independence government by armed force. Today Daxian are just over 20% of the population, have equal standing to other ethnic groups and due to their connections to [[Daxia]], are a very significant economic and political force.
