War Council of the Hurian Federation

The Hurian War Council is the legislative branch of the Hurian Federation, responsible for making and enforcing the laws of Huria. Contrary to popular belief, it is the War Council the rules Huria, not the Supreme Commander. A strong Supreme Commander may be able to control the council long enough to get his way, but ultimately, the power rests in the hands of the council. Formed in 1963, the War Council was designed to serve as a counter-balance to the power of the Supreme Commander, serving as advisors and watchers, ensuring that the Hurian leader stuck to the code and beliefs of the late Rollace Williams. Consisting of seven members, and lead by the War Minister, the War Council is made up of the most senior military commanders within both the Hurian Armed Forces and the Hurian Penal Legions. Though the Supreme Commander may talk a big game, as is required, the War Council serves as the puppeteer, ensuring that Huria is governed by the will of the military and the people, and not the will of the man.
