1st Council Gathering
During the American Collapse War, the Pacific States held an emergency election to allow for the signing of ant bills during the war. This council signed their part of the Christmas Day Agreement and also voted for the inclusion of Nevada and Hawaii into the Pacific States. This council only had 40 members, reflecting the 4 members (at the time) of the Pacific States. It was dissolved on the 31st of January, 1935. The New Republican Party held the most seats (but not a majority) at 19. The Liberal Party held the 2nd highest at 15. The Feudalist Party held 4 and the Leninists held the remaining 2 seats.

Overall, the votes were generally for the passing of laws, except for the inclusion of British Colombia into the Pacific States which was voted down with Yes (12) and No (28).

2nd Council Gathering
This council is currently on-going, having began on the 1st of January, 1936. Key points of debate is the rising threat of the Southern States as well as the concept of the Pacific States becoming one nation which is supported by Frank Merriam and his New Republican Party (and reformed whigs).

The Liberal Party currently holds the highest number of seats at 30 (making it a majority), and the New Republican Party holds 25, the 2nd highest. The Feudalist Party still holds 4 and the Leninist Party has decreased to only 1 seat.
