The '''Imperial Council of Natopia''' is the informal name giving to the meetings between the Emperor and his Secretaries of the [[Imperial Court of Natopia]] and the Chancellor and his Ministers of the [[Imperial Chancellery of Natopia]]. When acting in concert, the Council can issue Orders-in-Council which have a broad range of powers. In 1683 it was given a more permanent status when the Emperor and Chancellor issued an Order-in-Council stipulating that the Council meet regularly to discuss national affairs.
The '''Imperial Council of Natopia''' is a constitutional organ of the governments of [[Eastern Natopia]] and [[Western Natopia]]. It is a vestigial advisory council of the '''Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation'''. The Bovic Empire still exists as the confederal and dynastic union of [[Eastern Natopia]] and [[Western Natopia]]. The two [[Emperor of the Natopians|Natopian emperors]], their secretaries, and the two Chancellors all meet to discuss and decide on matters of critical importance to the [[Natopian Nation]]. Since 1716, it has acted as a unified cabinet for the governments of [[Eastern Natopia]] and [[Western Natopia]], paving the way for the [[Natopian reintegration]]. The body was finally dissolved in {{AN|1720}}.


==Purpose==
==Purpose==
Under the [[Lindstromism|Neo-lindstromist]] government style, Natopia's cabinet-level officers are divided into "external" and "internal" groups. Generally, the Emperor controls the "external" affairs and appoints Secretaries for foreign affairs, defense, and judicial review. The Chancellor appoints Ministers to oversee the "internal" matters of justice, security, and other interior matters. The rationale is to keep Natopia's foreign policy and sovereignty under long-term guidance under the Emperor, and domestic policy under the control of the Chancellor, elected indirectly by the people through the Frenzy. Prior to the formal creation of the Orders-in-Council system, Emperors and Chancellors frequently collaborated. The Council allows the Secretaries and Ministers to advise the Emperor and Chancellor.  
After the [[Division of the Natopian Empire]], the Council's duties were codified in the new states' governing laws as a confederal council that would meet to discuss matters important to both states and the enduring legacy of the [[Natopian Nation]]. As the scope of the Council now fell primarily under the duties of the Emperors (defense, foreign policy), the ministers of the Chancelleries were no longer included in the formal meetings.
 
One of the primary purposes of the Council is to appoint the Secretary for Defense. Both Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia support and are protected by a still-unified [[Natopian Defense Force]], as such the Emperors are constitutionally required to appoint the same individual as Defense Secretary. The governments of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia must have Council approval before making any major substantive decisions, such as entering or leaving a defense pact, ceding Natopian lands, or other policies that may affect the longevity of the Natopian Nation.


==Membership==
==Membership==
Membership on the Council is defined in the [[Caprine Code]] Chapter XIV, Section 1.3, as including the Emperor, Chancellor, and the Secretaries and Ministers under each. When acting in Council, both the Secretaries and Ministers may originate proposed Orders. Meetings of the Council are co-chaired by the Emperor and Chancellor.
Membership on the Council is defined in the [[Compact of the Eastern Bovic Lands]] and the Western Natopian Constitution as including the Emperor in the East, the Emperor in the West, their Secretaries, the eastern Chancellor, and the western Chancellor. Only the Emperors and Chancellors may vote. Meetings of the Council are co-chaired by the Emperors.

The Imperial Council of Natopia is a constitutional organ of the governments of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia. It is a vestigial advisory council of the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation. The Bovic Empire still exists as the confederal and dynastic union of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia. The two Natopian emperors, their secretaries, and the two Chancellors all meet to discuss and decide on matters of critical importance to the Natopian Nation. Since 1716, it has acted as a unified cabinet for the governments of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia, paving the way for the Natopian reintegration. The body was finally dissolved in 1720 AN.

Purpose

After the Division of the Natopian Empire, the Council's duties were codified in the new states' governing laws as a confederal council that would meet to discuss matters important to both states and the enduring legacy of the Natopian Nation. As the scope of the Council now fell primarily under the duties of the Emperors (defense, foreign policy), the ministers of the Chancelleries were no longer included in the formal meetings.

One of the primary purposes of the Council is to appoint the Secretary for Defense. Both Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia support and are protected by a still-unified Natopian Defense Force, as such the Emperors are constitutionally required to appoint the same individual as Defense Secretary. The governments of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia must have Council approval before making any major substantive decisions, such as entering or leaving a defense pact, ceding Natopian lands, or other policies that may affect the longevity of the Natopian Nation.

Membership

Membership on the Council is defined in the Compact of the Eastern Bovic Lands and the Western Natopian Constitution as including the Emperor in the East, the Emperor in the West, their Secretaries, the eastern Chancellor, and the western Chancellor. Only the Emperors and Chancellors may vote. Meetings of the Council are co-chaired by the Emperors.
