Astrolanion Federal Council

The Astrolanion Federal Council is one of the most powerful government bodies within Astros. The Council was established in 1395 during the rule of Emperor Mikhail Nerkovitz. The Council was made in aim of giving the people the power instead of having the Emperor/Empress commit atrocities against his/her people. Later on the Council restored the Imperial Throne's powers in 1800, the Council has backed off of managing every aspect of government and instead stay on the legislative branch of government.

Council Act - 1395
"With the upmost importance of a representative body of power for the people, and the tyranny of our current Emperor Mikhail Nerkovitz who sent his soldiers to burn down his own towns, let his soldiers rape, steal and murder our citizens. With this in mind, the people took up arms and walked to the Emperor's Manor, Crimsonwatch. They started rebelling against the Emperor until his advisors had convinced him to sign a document. A document that hath relieved the people of their struggles and finally take control of the Empire that we live in. With the first act of this newly born council, the emperor will be limited entirely as position of representation, albeit the emperor shan't leave the country unless approved by council." - Translation of Piergonter Walovr's Speech.
