The Political Consultative Committee and the Commissars in a joint meeting, 1674 AN.

The Political Consultative Committee, usually abbreviated to Policon, is the highest authoritative legislative body of of the Confederation of States around the Sovereign Oceans. 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, but this had only happened twice in the Union's history: in 1643 AN and 1682 AN. The summit, or Conference of Leylstadt, meant the definitive end of the Union as an organisation and led to the creation of the Confederation in 1683 AN.
