The '''Gong Suweiai''', or '''Public Council''', acts as a public advisory council. It consisted of several court officials, nobles and bureaucrats. With the crackdown on the Imperial Yuan and Seanad in 1659 AN, its main goal was to aid the [[Chidao Emperor]] in His daily tasks as [[Heavenly Light]].
The '''Gong Suweiai''' or ''Public Council'' is one of two advisory councils to the [[Heavenly Light]] under the [[Chidao Constitution]]. The other advisory is the [[Sifang Suweiai]], the ''Private Council''. In contrast to the Sifang Suweiai, the discussions in the Gong Suweiai are open to the public, and the contents of its debates are discussed in newspapers across the Empire. The Gong Suweiai is a spiritual successor to the [[Imperial Yuan]], which was dissolved when the [[Chidao Emperor]] abolished democracy in 1659 AN and implemented [[Jingbuist Absolutism]] as the state's philosophy.
 
Members of the Gong Suweaiai are nominated by the [[Diwang]], and approved by the Emperor. The nomination is commonly based on the person's achievements within the Empire's institutions, but also on characteristics like wealth, family ties and ethnic origin.  It is customary to have exactly 391 council members at any given time, this reflects the member number of the former Imperial Yuan.

The 391 members of the Gong Suweiai are not elected, but appointed by the Heavenly Light following a nomination by the Diwang, who takes the advise of provincial assemblies, imperial advisers and court officials into consideration. Members are removed from the Gong Suweiai if they display indecent behavior, especially behavior that questions their loyalty towards the [[Tianchaodao]], [[Jingbuist Absolutism]] and thus the [[Heavenly Light]]. Members that pass away while they serve a term in the Gong Suweiai are immediately replaced by servants from the Imperial Palace until a successor is found. While there is no legal end to a council member's term, it is customary for the Heavenly Light to send all members of the Gong Suweiai every five Norton years. This decision is not announced in advance, but when it happens riot squads from the Tegong will enter the Haigui Palace and sweep it clean, hitting council members with batons if they are not leaving fast enough. Usually the same members are re-appointed a week later. A few members who have delivered sub-standard work are always replaced. Whether they will be replaced with members from the same faction depends from the influence that faction has at the time in the Imperial Court. The custom was introduced by the Chidao Emperor who felt that the Gong Suweiai was starting to get a bit too complacent in the comfortably lifestyle a council member can afford, and wanted to remind them that they did not receive their position because of their own merits, but only by his grace.

Members are expected to join a faction on their first day in the council. Formally their only role is to provide a common meal for its members, as eating alone is a sign of individualism that is frowned upon. In practice they correspond with interest groups.

The Gunbatsu represents the interest of army and air force officers. The Shanghu represents the interests of traders and industrialists and a variety of other interests.

In contrast to the Sifang Suweiai, the discussions in the Gong Suweiai are open to the public, and the contents of its debates are discussed in newspapers across the Empire. The Gong Suweiai is a spiritual successor to the Imperial Yuan, which was dissolved when the Chidao Emperor abolished democracy in 1659 AN and implemented Jingbuist Absolutism as the state's philosophy.

Members of the Gong Suweaiai are nominated by the Diwang, and approved by the Emperor. The nomination is commonly based on the person's achievements within the Empire's institutions, but also on characteristics like wealth, family ties and ethnic origin. It is customary to have exactly 391 council members at any given time, this reflects the member number of the former Imperial Yuan.

While there is no legal end to a council member's term, it is customary for the Heavenly Light to send all members of the Gong Suweiai every five Norton years. This decision is not announced in advance, but when it happens riot squads from the Tegong will enter the Haigui Palace and sweep it clean, hitting council members with batons if they are not leaving fast enough. Usually the same members are re-appointed a week later. A few members who have delivered sub-standard work are always replaced. Whether they will be replaced with members from the same faction depends from the influence that faction has at the time in the Imperial Court.
