The Citizens' Council was the functioning council of Ape City. It consisted of Chimpanzees, Orangutans, and Gorillas.
History[]
It was founded to serve as a sub-delegation of the Ape Assembly. President Gaius and Minister of Science Dr. Zaius served as the leaders of the council.
In 3979, a summit of the council was held at the Amphitheater. General Ursus preached the importance of power, and announced his intentions to lead the Ape Army into an invasion of the Forbidden Zone, which was met with huge praise from the Gorillas, but criticism from the Chimpanzees, while the orangutans remained neutral.
