== The Landsraad == The Landsraad is the legislative body of Shireroth. It is primarily made up of the Dukes of the land, but over time has come to include the Barons of Shireroth. At one point Counts were also allowed into the Landsraad but this is no longer practiced. Recently, Ministers 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.
