The Curia Council is, aside from the Strategos, the highest ranking political body in Altera, making the majority of the key decisions relating to laws, defence, the economy and foreign political and trade affairs,
The Curia is made up of appointed members, known as Consuls and Praetors. A Praetor is usually a civil servant who, haven risen through the ranks of the civil service, leads and represents their particular Council. Consols are appointed by the Straegos and are generally considered the equivalent of a Special Advisor.
Both Praetors and Consols generally are Technocrats, as they usually have work for the government in some capacity, but some Consols are increasingly selected from the Private Sector in a bid to further appease and represent the power of the corporations.
