THE RADIANT COUNCIL
The Radiant Council, the current generation of ruling power over Unfao. The Seven are powerful figures who oversee just about everything, from simplest things such as advertising to nuclear threats going against the regulations they've put in place. The Council keeps all safe, their eyes everywhere, all to ensure peace and stability for the lives of all. The current generation has shown most promise in a long time, and have been dubbed the Radiant Council in representation of the bright future they see ahead of them. Not only that, it is the first generation to be complete, with all of the seven thrones being filled with promise. Some of the leaders have undergone controversy, but all has calmed down with them redeeming themselves, proving they are worthy leaders in recent years.
In contrast to this peace and stability they have held up for years, the Council was in a state of disarray for a long while. The last Council generation, the Ephermal Council, were the quickest generation to dissolve, and they left a stain upon the Council's name with their startling insanity and the violence left in their wake. After the sudden, rapid destruction of the Ephermal Council, stand-ins came and went, but none could withstand the pressure. The highest number of leaders in this disruption was three of the seven needed. Recent pressure of increased violent activity, among the instability of all behind the scenes, has left their ranks scrambling. Things seem to have returned to normalcy in the last decade, with a noticeable drop in criminal activity and threats being lower than ever.
Unfortunately for the public, the Radiant Councll are still struggling. They are still frantic, spread thin, trying desperately to conceal the chaos under the surface. Their people may be at peace, yet the underworld is not. This generation is a symbol of hope, yet they hide so many secrets, so much darkness in the shadows of their radiance that would almost guarantee a rebellion to overthrow if they all came out. The Council are universally beloved, but those who know their secrets will stop at nothing to see it fall, permanently. The Council are not just leaders, they are warriors, with blood on their hands that have stained to the bone. It is blood that has stained every generation before the Radiant, and will stain every last one after them. Their fates are sealed from the moment they accept the proposal to join. The blood they shed of beasts and people will come back tenfold for them, and this generation's promise will come back in an ugly spectacle.
They will dedicate their lives to amoral deeds, the affects of insanity will creep into their veins, and their power will bite them with venomous fangs. They will carry the same burden of bloodshed, all to prevent the remaining threads of stability from snapping. They can only hope their death comes before insanity does, and they are beyond salvation for even the Gods. There is no turning back.
Just like everybody before them.
Structure
The Seven Elites of the Council is the highest force of power there is, second only to the Gods themselves. Various other areas have their own power---their own governments, monarchy, mayors, etc. all of whom follow the lead of the Council. Their say is final. They take the viewpoints of many in regards to making decisions, hearing the input of all those affected.
There is a diverse array of staffing as well, but none come close to the esteem of the Elites.
Culture
Because of their duty over the world, their organisation is a large blend of many cultures. If it is not present in the Seven Elites, it is present in the staffing, which they consult in necessary situations. Culture and diversity is something they prioritize, wanting to make sure everybody's voice is heard.
Public Agenda
They exist solely to keep the peace, so they tell the public. They are the power that maintains the connection between species, bridges the gaps of past qualms and aids the world to thrive in the way it does now. That is the simple form of it, the people do not know just how far this motive actually goes.
The rabbit hole of danger it really is, is lost to the public eye. Gone unsaid for generations, and if all goes well, will forever be hidden from society.
For the greater good.
History
The Radiant Council is only one of countless generations. Since its founding in 3443 F.E., the Seven Elites were originally warriors. The term 'Council' never came about until a couple generations after, when the realisation of their dutybound leadership had sunken in.
Territories
Technically, everywhere under their watch is their territory. However, they don't like that. While they could take over everything in a heartbeat, both thanks to the sheer power in their forces and control they could enact, they do not. They leave other governments and territories to their own devices; all they ask is that major decisions are mentioned to them, and that they continue to enact basic decency and follow the laws set in place. It's not like they have to have public control over everything. They know everything that goes on.
Foreign Relations
The Council have affiliations with most other regions, cities, territories, etc. in the world. They are the head of everything, after all. Their eyes are everywhere, and they have buildings just about everywhere as well. It's hard to call anything foreign, as they are a staple in most regions.
That said, there are certain territories that go unwatched by the Council's eye. This is not by choice. They know of these locations, at least most of them, and they are doing whatever they can to infiltrate. If they cannot have influence, they want to have eyes everywhere.
Laws
The laws are documented in several areas, on paper and on digital, in places accessible and inaccessible to public eye. It is ensured that everybody knows their rights, and is one of the notable things taught in schools. Each area has their own laws, but the Council's laws they have set out are staples within every other government, and exceptions are only generally made with specific request. This is mostly because a lot of their laws regard common sense, accessibility and accommodation for the disabled, acceptance for those different from you, and freedom of expression. Under the Council's eye, they make damn sure nobody will be excluded or shunned without reason. They're the reason criminal rates are so low, and the reason you generally never even hear of crimes being committed.
There is also laws regarding complete bans of nuclear weaponry and war crimes. Justice is something that is inescapable. If you go against these laws, you will be found. It does not matter how discreet you may think you are, or how hidden you are, or your connections. If you have destructive intentions, you will be found and you will be shut down, often violently.
For more minor crimes like theft, scamming or illegal drug abuse/use/trafficking you will be arrested and placed in prison if guilty, but the prisons are constructed in a way that encourages rehabilitation. They're not there to punish criminals, they're there to get them help and help them reincorporate into society. Nobody is left behind anymore after Eve's Revolt."Progress through unity."

Gazetteer
Everywhere. Their eyes are everywhere... almost everywhere. However, their main location is Lumina City .
Legislative Body
The laws have been set in place for many years, but with times changing and new discoveries being made, they have been changed countless times. Lord Zyndir is usually the one at the head of these changes in current day, but it's been known to fluctuate from generation to generation. The Overlord is not the only person in charge of writing these laws, as all seven of the Elites put their say into the matter. Input from their lower staff is also obtained.
Judicial Body
The Overlord is usually the man overseeing it all,
Executive Body
All of the Council members have a part in enforcing the laws. They are far more hands on than other governments, sometimes showing up personally to deal with more severe threats, much to the dismay of the public on the rare chance it's ever heard of. That said, there are several groups who enforce the laws personally. One of these groups, both most prominent and most secret, are the Council's main way of enforcement. Rather than just enforcing the laws, they shut down people before or in the middle of acting. Often a little... violently.
