The Tanoi pronounced (tănōē) is the primary executive, judicial and legislative body of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo Galysumanâ'ai (Government).

The current council has total of sixty-nine seated members. Each of the seven sects has three seats on the Council for a total of twenty-one seats. Each Rouka'ka has one seat, and there are currently forty-five Ruoka'kai for a total of forty-five seats. The Tula, as the Poku Vit (Plant Clan), have two seats. The Mui (Clan Leader) has one seat. This brings the total number of seats on the council to sixty-nine.

Qaktoro make up the better part of the population of the council.

Members of the Tanoi are confirmed every five Mâi (years), and there is no limit on the number of terms a person may serve on the Tanoi.

Social pressure can force members of the Tanoi to vacate their seats; this occurred quite prominently during the conclusion of the Usonori Sate (Lean Times).
