That's it - we will all have to pair into baronies now, with each barony having a baron.We have six counties to form three baronies.

By the way: I would recommend defining "Counties of Elwynn" in the first clause. Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
You don't need to create Baronies if you have five counties. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
No need to form Baronies at all. You can have a Duchy composed entirely of Counties.The prerequisities are for newly forming Duchies more than anything. A union of two Baronies need only four Counties altogether. However, a union of independent Counties into a Duchy needs a minimum of five. I believe you have more than that here, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
That's what I thought, but now I'm confused. Conflicting information. I want the Contract as safe as possible without loopholes before we hand it it on Monday (Kaiser in his infinite wisdom granted us a clemency).So things we need to overcome in our discussions:BaroniesDo we need/want them, if so - what kind of powers should they have?How do we contract baronies? Ardy's idea was incorporating the establishments of baronies in the main ELwynnese contract.Because if each Barony has seperate contracts, they may conflict with the ducal contract.My wifeYes, she is a problem at the moment. I can't get hold of her and any contract would need unanimous consent to cover for all of Elwynn. I'm worried she'll sign the contract too late. Any ideas on how to overcome this?

Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
Leave her out of it. I'm assuming you have enough Counties without her input. If she shows up again later on you could write another contract between the already-existing Duchy of Elwynn and her County.

Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
Or, claim your Honorary Countship over her county until she returns and vote in her stead.Also... though baronies are nice (and being baron is awesome) I dont think Elwynn is ready for that yet.Let's stay a 5+ county Duchy until we can all develop our cultures, at which point perhaps cultures that are similiar can become Baronies.

Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
I'm in as well.
Re: Discuss: Contract of Elwynn
Well... After hearing from the Kaiser, and my fellow residents of Elwynn, together with the legal advice of the Chief Justice, I have proposed a new contract (it's basically the same, but with the articles more clarified plus a better article on how to create new baronies):1. The Counties of Elwynn; Araxion, Eliria and Utasia, Ãseirdia-la-Vraulalennir, Lac Glacei, Lesser Zjandaria, and Port Illumination; henceforth shall be bound together to form the singular Duchy of Elwynn.2. The executive and legislative powers of the Duchy of Elwynn are vested in the Duke. In turn, the Duke may delegate certain of these powers to citizens of Elwynn's various Counties.3. The judicial powers of the Duchy are vested in the Supreme Court of Elwynn. The judicial powers of the Court shall extend to civil and criminal matters, and to conflicts deriving from this Contact. The responsibilities of the High Court of Elwynn shall be overtaken by the Supreme Court.4. The first Duke of Elwynn shall be Richard Lyon Andelarion, Count of Eliria and Utasia. The Ducal succession shall be determined by the Counts of Elwynn; who shall meet no more than five (5) days upon the vacancy of the Duchy to select the successor by a vote of simple majority. This meeting will be headed by the Chief Justice of Elwynn.5. All Elwynnese laws in force prior to the date of enforcement of this Contract shall remain valid in Elwynn. Should any such laws present be in conflict with this Document, the favour will always fall to the Contract.6.For the purposes of this document, the term “Counties of Elwynn” shall be defined as– the Counties mentioned in Section 1 of this Contract; and/or– the above plus any county that, after this Contract takes affect, agree to adhere to this Contract.7. If a county wishes to join Elwynn it shall post that publicly in ElwynnÂ’s forums. If two thirds of the counties of Elwynn agree to the new countyÂ’s adherence to this Contract, then that County will have joined Elwynn.8. Should two or more Counties wish to associate themselves with each other and form a Barony, they shall make a joint petition to the Duchy. The Duke of Elwynn will then call together a meeting of all Counties to discuss the rights, privileges, duties, and other particulars of the new Barony's creation. The Duke, along with Counsel from the Chief Justice of Elwynn, shall then make a decision as to the inclusion of the new Barony.9.Any changes to this Contract requires unanimous consent from all Counties of Elwynn.10.This Contract is in force until the first day of Biternionsmoon (2527), corresponding to the seventh day of July, 2006.11.This contract enters force on SemisaÂ’s second day of Vanchauslurk (2292), corresponding to the fourteenth day of November, 2005.
