Diet of Notables

The was an advising body within the government of the Grand Celestial Confederacy.
== Description ==
The political leadership of the Confederation consisted of the Confederate Council, which acted on the advice and recognizance of the Diet of Notables, a large and self-defining body of hereditary princes, powerful merchants, and others whose assent to the laws and acts of the Confederate government were deemed important to the good order of the Confederation: the rolls of the diet were expanded by consensus, the result in-practice being a substantial amount of horse-trading for preferred candidates of different factions to accede. The Confederate Council had certain fixed seats, such as the Admiralty, but could otherwise fluctuate substantially in size and composition to reflect the varying factions of the Diet.
