Composition[]
The Council is composed of twelve members, each belonging to a different family or House, elected to membership by the other members of the council.
The membership is for life. A change of the membership of the council can occur:
- If a member commits a crime against the state and is expelled.
- If there is a state of vacancy caused by the death of a member.[3]
Attilan Kings and Queens[]
Monarch Succession[]
There is many ways for a King to step out of his position:
- Abdication: A King can seemingly abdicate.[5]
- Removal/deposal by the Genetics Council:
- By vote: If all other eleven members of the Genetics Council agree, they can remove a ruler from the throne.[3]
- By sentence: As the Council of Four, the Genetic Council also once pronounced a deposal sentence towards Black Bolt, in the case the people under his custody didn't respect a good behavior obligation to which he was responsible.[4]
- Challenge of Royal Succession: A challenge of royal succession is seemingly an acknowledged way of replacing an Attilan monarch, as in such case, the palace guards must seemingly step down instead of protecting the King.[6]
Royal Court[]
Assembled as the Royal Court of Attilan, the Inhuman Royal Family could also act as a justice court.[7]
Genetics Law[]
The Genetics Law or Genetic Policy included the rules about procreation and marriage in Attilan.[4]

Cloning[]
Even before Auron's reign, cloning was forbidden. This restriction was considered inapplicable for Alpha Primitives.[9]
Terrigenesis[]
The core aspect of Attilan culture, Terrigenesis is regulated by many rules.
- If genetic screening determines only a low risk factor, a couple may elect to subject their offspring to Terrigenesis between the ages of one to six years.
- An Inhuman may also decide to undergo the procedure when he or she reaches 31, which is the legal age of consent.[3]
Subjection to the Mist must also be approved by a majority vote from the Council.[10]
Procreation[]
The government regulated the population growth by allowing a maximum of two offspring per couple.[3]
