The Party Council, like the Peoples' Council, may propose bills and motions. It also has the power to veto motions of the Peoples' Council by a simple majority vote. The Party and People's Councils have the power to veto executive orders made by the Director of the Republic with a collective 3/4 vote, and failing that majority, force an Audit of the order if a 2/3 majority is achieved. This does mean that the Peoples' Council has more power in such a situation. Uniquely to the Party Council, it may propose an entirely alternative budget if the NAC and Director cannot agree on a budget for the year as well as suggesting budget amendments. | The Party Council, like the Peoples' Council, may propose bills and motions.

The | The State Council is a board of the ten most powerful people in Faneria's government other than its executive - the Taoisteach, the two Speakers of the Councils, one representative from the Audit Board, and the head of each of the major six offices of the administrative arm of government. This structure means that elections and terms as normally imagined do not apply to the State Council, but instead are conferred naturally with its constituent positions, and the Council's makeup changes as the Speakers and Ministers do. The State Council is headed by the Taoisteach. | ||

The NAC approves bills passed by the lower houses of the Assembly; as it has ten members, the Audit Council member has the tiebreaking vote. Passing a law through the NAC is a simple majority vote. Just as important is the NAC's informal role as a forum for communication between the Director of the Republic and the major figures of the Assembly and the Administration, since it effectively forms a 'small council'. As a result, meetings are frequently attended by other ministers, and are used as a forum for establishing clear goals and programs between all four branches of government. The NAC may propose an impeachment of a sitting Director by an 8/10 vote, after which a simple majority vote in the joint Party and Peoples' Councils will confirm or reject the impeachment. | The NAC approves bills passed by the lower houses of the Assembly; as it has ten members, the Audit Council member has the tiebreaking vote.

ICly because the lower house enjoys the media value of having to have full meetings outside since their wing is crammed, because it's the traditional building, and because the Starkists don't want to let the Futurists get their way and have a new building while they're ascendant, because they have the upper hand with the Nat Reps and the Confeds on their side for the actual design. The Futurists want a building that fuses traditional architectural looks with a wider and more modern layout, while the Starkists want a more neoclassical look. | ICly because the lower house enjoys the media value of having to have full meetings outside since their wing is crammed, because it's the traditional building, and because the Starkists don't want to let the Futurists get their way and have a new building while they're ascendant, because they have the upper hand with the Nat Reps and the Confeds on their side for the actual design.

The historic legislative building of the Fhainnin gov't is similar in layout to a basilica church; however, there's no proper internal layout taken from Latin or church design. One of the 'cross' wings is missing and there are walled pavilions out on the opposite side, making the site rectangular from a bird's eye view. The remaining three wings are, clockwise, 2:1:1 around a central segment with a short tower. The long wing hosts one of the lower houses, the shorter one opposite it the upper house. The remaining lower house congregates outdoors as a relic of the farcical monarchy-era legislature, but all three houses cram into the larger wing for joint sessions, though those are uncommon and reserved for crises. The walls around the outdoor area are part of security measures added to minimize the risk of attack. | The historic legislative building of the Fhainnin gov't is similar in layout to a basilica church; however, there's no proper internal layout taken from Latin or church design.
