The Grand Council

The Grand Council serves as the official government of the city of Brackenport and the surrounding territory under Brackenport's control.  

Basic Composition

The Grand Council is a senatorial body comprised of 20 members and one selected representative called the First Chair. The members of the council are democratically elected in a ranked-choice election every 5 years. The Council then elects one person from Brackenport (who is not a Council member) to serve as the First Chair.
