County Councils manage, control and administrate County resources. This includes, but is not limited to the passage of County Law and matters of Justice, mining, inter/intra county trade, and County specific Diplomacy. Counties have no authority to initiate treaties that affect or obligate all of England or other counties. The Council is elected every 60 days.

Election Process[]

Midway through a given Council's Term, players have the option to create a list for the Council. They pay 200 pounds up front and appoint up to twelve people for the list. A total of 1,000 pounds must be donated to the List on top of the 200 pound fee to make the list eligible for the vote. Ten days from the end of the term, voting begins for each list. Seats on the twelve person Council are apportioned approximately proportionally to each list's votes received (although even one vote guarantees at least one seat, that is, the proportions are skewed toward the minority party), with the higher positions in each party receiving the seats.

Then, for two days, every member now on the Council (any incumbents keep their former positions for these two days) votes for the Count/Countess (or Duke/Duchess). Seven votes are required to establish a Count.
