The Fundamental Statute gives no prescriptions for how the Federal Council is to conduct its business, so the rules and organisation of the Council are largely self-created. Leadership of the Council is vested in a President, who presides over meetings and oversees the Secretariat. The Presidency rotates among the regional groups (''see section below'') annually, changing hands on the day of the autumnal equinox. The regional group receiving the Presidency usually selects the President from among its number a week or so before the equinox. While a group can replace the President anytime during its turn in the rotation, this is almost never done for any reason other than death or vacancy. If the President is absent from a meeting or the presiding regional group fails to select a President, the longest-serving member of the Council becomes the acting President. | The Fundamental Statute gives no prescriptions for how the Federal Council is to conduct its business, so the rules and organisation of the Council are largely self-created.

This is because, due to the occupation of [[Wintergen]] by [[Burgundie]], the state's Councillor is chosen by five non-elected legislators living in [[Kaviska]]. As such, out of respect to the populated states and to ward off accusations of being a {{wp|pocket borough}}, the Wintergen Board of Estimate instructs its Councillors to abstain from legally-binding votes unless they are relevant to the status of Wintergen or are unanimous. Voting last allows the Wintergen Councillor to confirm that support for the measure is indeed unanimous before casting his vote. | ||
