The Political Consultative Committee and the Commissars during a joint meeting between representatives of the Union States, in 1690 AN.

The Political Consultative Committee, usually abbreviated to Policon, is the highest authoritative legislative body of of the Union of States around the Sovereign Oceans. It originally met at the USSO Command Enterprise, but due to safety issues, it was moved to Daocheng in Jingdao.

History

It was originally a committee consisting of the top leadership of each respective Union State of the USSO, but those tasks where - throughout the years - delegated to diplomats who acted as representatives of their administration. While a State in the early days sent its head of state (or head of government) to meetings, it became handled by a high-up diplomat and only - in rare cases - the head of government. Only full members of the Union had a vote, while Associate Members had the right to speak and participate, but not the right to vote.

The committee originally met at USSO Command Enterprise. In case of large-scale reforms, a Union Summit was opened in which not only the representatives of the States were present, but also their respective heads of states and government. These events only happened twice in the Union's history: in 1643 AN and 1682 AN. The latter summit, or Conference of Leylstadt, was meant as the definitive end of the Union as an organisation and should have led to the creation of the Confederation in 1683 AN. In the end, the project failed due to a last minute objection of Krasnocoria.

The Policon was henceforth reintroduced as the main consultation and legislative body of the Union: it's seen as a meeting place between equals, overseen by the president of the USSO.
