{{Main|League of Nations General Assembly}} | {{Main|League of Nations General Assembly}}The General Assembly of the League of Nations is the primary body of the League, and consists of one Representative from each member state. Nations are admitted to or ejected from the League by a General Assembly vote after consideration by the constituent General Assembly Committee on Membership, with a simple majority required to admit a nation and a 2/3 vote to eject a nation, after which a nation's representatives are removed from the General Assembly and all other bodies of the League. A three-month suspension prior to final expulsion from the League is also required. The General Assembly is responsible for final votes on amendments to the Code of the League of Nations after submission by the Committee on Codes, as well as issuing resolutions on League territories, policy, and condemnations of individual nations or international corporations as well as any other organizational activities not covered by the other bodies of the League. | ||

===Provost-General=== | |||
{{Main|Provost-General of the League of Nations}}The Provost-General is the head of the General Assembly, and acts as its presiding officer. The Provost-General is assisted by a staff of minutes-keepers, aides, and the League of Nations Grounds Security Force. Previously, terms as Provost-General lasted for one year; as of 2019, the Code was amended to extend the term to two years. The maximum number of terms per representative is strictly limited to two consecutive terms, though nothing bars returning after a skipping a term between consecutive segments of service. | |||
Outside the General Assembly, the Provost-General is responsible for appointments to all [[Provost-General of the League of Nations#League agencies|League agencies]] other than the Security Council and those seats predesignated to Urcea, Kiravia, and Caphiria, covering affairs from international environmental preservation to human rights protections. Most of these are final barring a challenge in the General Assembly, with the exception of the International Justice Court, whose members are nominated by the PG and ratified by the Assembly. In the case of the Security COuncil, the Provost-General vetoes or approves of member selections made by the Chairperson of the Security Council. | |||

The League of Nations Security Council is headed by a Chairperson, who is a rotating representative from Kiravia, Caphiria, or Urcea, each of which have permanent status on the Security Council. The Chairperson nominates four rotating members from [[Crona]]/[[Vallos]], [[Sarpedon|Sarpedon proper]]/[[Australis]], [[Levantia]]/[[Kiroborea]], and [[Audonia]]/[[Alshar]], bringing the total membership to seven delegates. The primary duty of the Security Council is to designate areas of global security risk and to delegate member states to respond to global or major regional threats. Historically, this has included preparations for a response to the [[Vandarch Canal Crisis]] prior to its resolution by regional reactions, as well as the coalition of nations which fought [[Varshan]] in the [[Final War of the Deluge]] under the auspices of the League of Nations Command in Crona. | |||

Some renowned international figures have criticized the League of Nations as an extension of [[Urcean]] diplomacy, or more broadly as an exclusive [[Occidental]] and colonial powers club | |||
