The Grand Council of Verionian States is the legislature of Gran Verionia. It is a unicameral body that convenes in the Marble Palace in Valarion. Members of the Grand Council are elected or appointed in their representative states. Seats are distributed according to population of the Verionian States. The Grand Council has the power of legislation, but this legislation, either through acts or resolutions, have no binding power. Acts may have binding power when they receive the support of a 2/3rd majority of the Verionian States, and the promulgation of the Elu. Resolutions never have binding power, but are recommendations that may or may not be implemented by the governments of the States.

Distribution of Seats

Since the members of the Grand Council are appointed in their own States, there are no confederation-wide elections or political parties that contest these. Even the method of appointment differs widely throughout the States. Four States hold elections for their Grand Council seats, these are Chryste, Kasterburg, Los Liberados and the Mercantile Realm of Souf. The two largest States, the Kingdom of Valentia and the Federated Tribes of Torosh, have their representatives directly appointed by respectively the King and the High Sha'ikh. In addition, the Princess of Valarion also appoints the five representatives of the Capital Territory directly.

Although there is no centralised system of appointment, the representatives of the States do align themselves in parliamentary groups. There are four groups that make up the current Grand Council. These groups are, in order of membership, the Verionian Unionist Coalition, the Coalition for Tradition and Values, the Group for Democracy and the Coalition for the Regions.

Washar

The Grand Council elects a chairman, or Washar, from its ranks. The Washar is tasked with leading the debates and maintaining the order in the debating chamber. In addition, the Washar is the first advisor to the Elu, often mitigating between the wishes of the Grand Council and the monarchy. Incumbent Washar is Godolphin Viqh, who is a member of the Association of Merchants, representing Souf.
