==The Landsraad==
The '''Landsraad''' is the highest and oldest [[Legislature of Shireroth|legislative body]] in [[Shireroth]]. Presided over by the [[Prætor]] (currently [[Frederik Alfons des Vinandy]], [[Head of state (Batavia)|King of Batavia]]), the imperial electors (as the members of the Landsraad are called) meet in the Hall of Oratory in the [[Palace of Zirandorthel]] in [[Shirekeep]] to make laws, elect the [[Steward]], and make important resolutions. Compared to the [[Adelsraad]], the [[Folksraad]], and the legislative powers of the Steward, the Landsraad is the most powerful body of them all.


The Landsraad is the legislative body of [[Shireroth]]. It is primarily made up of the [[Duke]]s of the land, but over time has come to include the [[Baron]]s of Shireroth. At one point [[Count]]s were also allowed into the Landsraad but this is no longer practiced.
For more information, see the Shirewiki article: [[shire:Landsraad|Landsraad]]
Recently, [[Minister]]s of Shireroth have been allowed to speak in the Landsraad on issues related to their ministry, but are not allowed to vote, unless they are also a noble. This came into effect from the [[Implied Summons Bill]] created by [[Fax Celestis]], after a fiasco where he spoke in the Landsraad when he should not have.
The Landsraad is overseen by a [[Praetor]] who acts to organize, tally and close votes.

Each [[Duchy]] receives 1 vote.


'''[[Duchy of Brookshire]]'''
Members of the Imperial Peerage above the degree of "Baron" (i.e. Barons are not included) are eligible for membership in the Landsraad. Regardless of rank or how many peerages they hold, members only have one vote each.


Members are officially titled Imperial Electors. Members are considered ''unseated'' if they have yet to give oaths to the Living Kaiser or have yet to have those oaths received, as stipulated in [[Imperial Decrees (Shireroth)/Landsraad Reform|Imperial Decree "Landsraad Reform"]], Article 1, and thus are eligible for a seat on the Landsraad but have yet to be seated.

The last Landsraad rule was in 1644, following the demise of Kaiser Dominus during the Oustfest Massacre. The Landsraad elected [[Kaiseress Noor|Noor]] to be Shireroth's Kaiseress.

The Landsraad is the highest and oldest legislative body in Shireroth. Presided over by the Prætor (currently Frederik Alfons des Vinandy, King of Batavia), the imperial electors (as the members of the Landsraad are called) meet in the Hall of Oratory in the Palace of Zirandorthel in Shirekeep to make laws, elect the Steward, and make important resolutions. Compared to the Adelsraad, the Folksraad, and the legislative powers of the Steward, the Landsraad is the most powerful body of them all.

For more information, see the Shirewiki article: Landsraad

Members

Members of the Imperial Peerage above the degree of "Baron" (i.e. Barons are not included) are eligible for membership in the Landsraad. Regardless of rank or how many peerages they hold, members only have one vote each.

Members are officially titled Imperial Electors. Members are considered unseated if they have yet to give oaths to the Living Kaiser or have yet to have those oaths received, as stipulated in Imperial Decree "Landsraad Reform", Article 1, and thus are eligible for a seat on the Landsraad but have yet to be seated.

See Imperial Peerage for a list of peers.

Landsraad Rule

The Landsraad has at various times in Shireroth's history (briefly) ruled the country in lieu of the Kaiser, usually when the Golden Mango Throne was vacant after the demise or abdication of the Kaiser of Shireroth and the Landsraad was in the process of electing the next Kaiser, or in the case of 1475, electing a Ruling Steward while the imperial succession was worked out. The last Landsraad rule was in 1644, following the demise of Kaiser Dominus during the Oustfest Massacre. The Landsraad elected Noor to be Shireroth's Kaiseress.
