Cetsencalia: Difference between revisions

The Veltorine Social Council was established by the [[Government of Urcea]] in [[2014]] following the [[Assumption Accords]]. The Council replaced the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] as the official advocacy and heritage organization of [[Veltorine people]] living in [[Talionia]] and [[Urcea]] following the ejection of the government-in-exile as a result of the Accords. The Council was originally structured as a national council of local heritage organizations, ranging from sixty to four hundred chapters during the period [[2014]] to [[2016]]. In 2016, the Council was reformed by the Urcean government to assume responsibility for the Veltorine peoples living in [[Crona]] that it had taken charge of as a result of the [[South Nysdra War]]. The Council was changed to include representatives elected by forty "circles", with each circle representing various organizations and geographic populations of Veltorine people. In [[2015]], most groups abroad which had previously affiliated with the government-in-exile recognized the Social Council as the top-level representative of the [[Veltorine diaspora]]. In 2016, the Council was entrusted with overseeing the migration and settlement of Veltorine people in the newly acquired territory of Cetsencalia. The Council was elevated to having official government status in [[2019]] with the passage of the Cetsencalia Organic Act, establishing the Council as the upper house of the legislature with direct oversight of the executive. The Chairman of the Council was responsible for nomination of members of the Executive Cabinet and also responsible for approving their budgets, and all members of the Cabinet are sitting members of the Council.

The Council as established in [[2019]] was comprised of 350 members, of which 50 were elected from "circles" of Veltorine groups in [[Urcea]] and [[Talionia]], 150 were elected directly by Veltorine residents in Cetsencalia, 100 were elected by members of the Principal Assembly, and the remaining 50 were elected by non-Veltorine residents of Cetsencalia, though only Veltorines could stand for the seats. The Organic Act established four year terms for members of the Council beginning in [[2020]].
