The Sapira

Much like the Congress of the United States or Parliament in the United Kingdom, the Sapira is the governing body of the Immortals. This group has at least one representative from every nation that has Immortals. While the Ten Commandments are the basic rules of Immortal life, the Sapira created laws "inspired by God's divine intervention" for the Immortals to follow.
The members of the Sapira usually stay in their home countries, although about 25 of them remain at the Immortal headquarters, Great Hall, permanently. The Sapira meet regularly about three times a year, but can also be summoned at a moment's notice in emergencies and in dealing with major violations of Immortal law. The Sapira not only vote on lawas, but also act as a jury of peers during major trials. A two-thirds vote is needed for a law or sentence to pass.
Members of the Sapira have to be at least 275 years of age. The senior members, some of whom are founding members of the Sapira, have the most power and are allowed to debate or invite other younger members to debate. The Sapira's verdict or vote can still be overturned by one governing body that is above them...The Immortal Elders.
