Nobles of Middle Earth:
A group of recognized elder residents who have all been WA Delegate of Middle Earth at one point, new Nobles to be added upon completion of their time as WA Delegate.
The nobles are established as a senior council to help oversee the development and future of Middle Earth. They are encouraged to offer the current King / Queen council and to take up regional positions when available. They are standing guard as the protectors of Middle Earth, ensuring the interests of all its people.
The nobles of Middle Earth are as follows:
Secession of the King / Queen:
When the time comes for a new King / Queen to be crowned, new WA delegate to be elected, the current King / Queen, is to oversee the election procedures. In the event there is no current King / Queen, the duty falls to the Lord Steward, then to High Chancellor, if both are unable, the current WA Delegate and Nobles of Middle Earth are to oversee the election procedures.
An election is to take place when the current King / Queen decides to step down at a time of their choosing or in the event the King / Queen ceases to exist. An interim election can be called by the Lord Steward, or support of three Nobles of Middle Earth after 90 days of an elected King's / Queen's rule. Allowing residents to vote in a new King / Queen or revote for the current King / Queen.
Election procedures are to take place within Middle Earth, giving a timeframe of at least one week of nominations followed by at least one week for residents to cast their vote in an official regional poll. This time frame can be expanded in length if deemed necessary by the responsible overseeing the election (generally, the WA Delegate at the time).
The rules governing the endorsement policy within Middle Earth are as follows:
1. All WA residents are required to endorse the elected WA Delegate and King / Queen of Middle Earth.
2. WA nations should also endorse the Lord / Lady Steward as the vice-delegate to help keep his endorsement count 2nd highest.
3. To further strengthen regional security we encourage people to endorse former WA Delegates, the Nobles of Middle Earth.
4. Residents are free to endorse whom else they wish, however it is the tradition of Middle Earth to not over-endorsement swap with one another.
Many residents are hesitant and weary of endorsement swapping due to raiders raiding the region by making use of this method.
We encourage people to not over endorse anyone, and to keep an eye out for particularly new residents getting too many endorsements. They are to be reported on-sight to the Delegate and Vice Delegate.
Residents are not allowed to have more than roughly 30% of the current endorsement count of the Delegate, unless they are Nobles and / or occupy an official position within the kingdom.
The Nobles / Officials should strive not to have more than 60~70% of the current endorsement count of the Delegate, with the Lord / Lady Steward having around at most 80~90% of the current endorsement count of the Delegate.
These numbers are to be serving as general guidelines.
