Governed: "conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people)."

Basically, the 2 councils are in charge. Think of it like a congress or a parliament.

The COA is the "upper" or "higher" council, it's decisions are law. The COTP is the "lower" council, they instead propose things to the COA and have much less authority.
