Central-46

 Teiko National Council Hall, Kogomo North Prefecture, Teiko Region

The Teiko National Council which is commonly referred to as Central-46 (interchangeable at some times) is the highest and the supreme legislative body in the Independent Principality of the Commonwealth of Teiko. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all lands and all other political bodies in Teiko. It's head is currently the Teiko Premier (Akashi Seijuro) and its seat is the Teiko National Council Hall at Kogomo North. For more details on the Teiko Premier, visit the executive page here. 

The Teiko Regional Council is unicameral consisting only of house one called the Central-46 which is headed by the Sandaedeung (Kensuke Fukui). However, it has two separate chambers, the Central-46 and the Cabinet. 

SANDAEDEUNG 

The sandaedeung is the head of Central-46. He is considered to be the head of the legislative branch. The sandaedeung is third in line of the presidential succession (after the vice-premier, however the current election have failed to vote a vice-premier). The sandaedeung is not necessarily from the majority party and is elected also through popular votes, however the current constitution requires that he/she must be a district councilor prior to the election. The sandae presides over the sessions of the Central-46 and maybe required to attend cabinet meetings. He also delegates and performs other administrative tasks and procedural functions related to the Central-46.
