The Concord is the primary legislative body of the nation. It is structured as a tricameral legislature, with a Council of the Peoples (seats apportioned on an ethnic basis), Council of the Ways (seats apportioned by local populations), and High Council (seats appointed on a party basis). Seated Members may hold seats within multiple Councils, and the legal power of the Council of the Peoples is generally considered inferior to that of either of its senior bodies. | The Concord is the primary legislative body of the nation.
