Council of the Lands of Hulstria and Gao-Soto

The Council of the Lands, often referred to by its Hulstrian name Länderrat, is the upper house of the Reichsversammlung, the bicameral legislature of Hulstria and Gao-Soto. Created to replace the Imperial Courts as the upper house in 3586 by means of an act sponsored by HDV leader Matiasu Fukuyama, it consists of the representatives of the governments of Hulstria and Gao-Soto's six Crownlands. The Council of the Lands can return with objection to the Imperial Diet any bill in areas of Crownland or shared national-Crownland competence, and register objections to bills in areas of national jurisdiction. The composition of the Council is at the discretion of Crownlands governments based on the bill under discussion.
