Dream Countries

A dream country is a group of territories which have been ritually linked by the Unite Dream Country oneiromancy. A Dream Country is governed by a common ruler, called a Shaper, and a common set of laws.

All dream countries have a group, which participating lords must join.

Voting

At times, the dream country may need to make a decision about something. Decisions are made by a vote. Each land holding lord within a dream country gets one vote.

To initiate a vote, you must start an event for that topic. You should give at least a week notice, and try to pick a time that as many people as possible can attend. At least three quarters of the lords of the dream country must agree to attend before the vote is considered "official".

Voting must be held during live play at one of the participating territories.

Be advised that people who don't want your voice to be heard may try to knock you off before the vote!

Votes may be useful for numerous civic matters: Votes may impose a law, remove a law, specify the penalty for breaking a law, create a public office, or appoint/remove someone to a public office.

As a default, a simple majority is necessary for a vote to pass. Laws may be created which change this threshold for certain matters. For example, a 75% majority might be necessary to dethrone a Shaper.
