Light Council

Like the British Light council, the Light council of North America is the august decision-making organisation that runs the whole of the North American mages society. They consist of a council of fourteen mages that protect and serve the citizens of their magical nation, at the very least this is their official job title. Like any political organisation most of what the councilors work for, is advancing their own careers. Like it's sister council in Britain, the American council consists of seven Junior Council members and seven Senior Council members, where the Senior members are the only part of the council that's permitted a vote on Resolutions. While without a vote, officially, Junior councilors are still powerful political figures in their own right, their support is often sought by the Senior members during Resolution votes for their side to appear bigger.

Underneath the Council itself is a host of staff that serve as the laborers of government all divided into different departments, like the Department of Foreign affairs or the Department of Internal Defense. Biggest of these branches of government is the Conclave, the Conclave functions a bit like the Supreme court of the US of A. It's a congress of judges, that oversee that the laws of Magical society is upheld and judge and sentence those that break them. It is also the only organisation that could overturn a Council Resolution, should they judge it contradicting to the laws of magical society, though this is exceedingly rare.

Like the other Light councils of the world, the Light Council of North America is divided into several political factions. Opposed to political parties, these factions represent a fundamental belief on how mages society should move forward rather than and actual political organisation. Or so it is supposed to be. The Factions of North America are the following.
 * The Guardians
 * The Crusaders
 * The Traditionalists
 * The Prince Faction
 * The Harmony Caucus
