The Imperial Council of Karnia is the legislative body of the Karnian Empire, a constituent state of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. It is a bicameral body: the upper house is the House of Lords and the lower house is the House of Deputies. To become law, bills had to be passed by both houses and then granted royal assent by the Emperor. After having been passed, laws were published.

History

Karnia was founded on 2 February 2016 at Prague, through a political act signed by Anton I of Karnia, who was elected as the first Kaiser; Calvin Gustav, the first and acting Minister-President and Louis Taünn, the first appointed President of the Reichsrat. Karnia was founded to preserve and celebrate the tradition of the Czech monarchy under the Habsburgs and this way, the Imperial Council was supposed to work in the same way as the Imperial Council of Austria.
