Editing United Council of Yesteria (section)

==Responsibilities==
The United Council functions as both the national legislature of Yesteria, and also in many respects as the national government of the country. The United Council appoints the First Minister every five years, and the First Minister is also responsible for convening the United Council. This close relationship between the two institutions means that they work very closely together, and with the lack of separate governing structures, the United Council plays a large role in the general governance of the country alongside the debate and passage of legislation.

Due to the confederal nature of Yesteria, few issues are decided at a national level aside from matters of defence and foreign relations, along with enforcement of the ban on technology. Many of the debates at the United Council revolve around rates of taxes and methods of collection in order to fund defence infrastructure. One major initiative to come out of the United Council during its existence has been the exception to the technology ban for medical technology; which has enabled the treatment of many previously-fatal medical conditions.
