The '''Gong Suweiai''', or '''Public Council''', acts as a public advisory council of the [[Jingdao]]ese Empire. 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]]. In contrast to the Sifang Suweiai, the decisions and debates in the Gong Suweiai are open for the public. Decisions are publicized in newspapers across the Empire.
The '''Gong Suweiai''' or ''Public Council'' is one of two advisory councils to the [[Heavenly Light]] under the [[Chidao Constitution]].

While not elected, the 391 members of the Gong Suweiai are traditionally re-appointed (or removed from office) every five Norton years. Officially, their membership depends solely on the goodwill of the Heavenly Light, who takes into account the advise of provincial assemblies, imperial advisers and court officials. The number of 391 advisers dates back to the Imperial Yuan, which held the same number. While relatively stable (most members are re-appointed term after term), it sometimes depends from the influence of the factions.
 
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.
