The Council of Lords

====The Council of Lords (abbreviated CL) is a political organization in Likatonia founded in March of 4337. The council itself is much older however, having existed as a social club for wealthy Likatonian citizens with connections to the Luthori nobility that remained in Likatonia after independence.==== ====The Council is a unicameral body with 77 seats; every councillor must be sponsored by one of the old families in the council, such as, the Bérains, the Dumars or the Amells, to name a few.

The Council votes with a simple majority election on matters concerning proposals and bills with the Lord high councillor retaining the right to veto any decision the council undertakes.

Generally councillors hold their position for life, but they can retire or resign at any time of their choosing. Should a councillor choose a designated heir he or she takes that seat without an election, but this is considered to be in poor taste.
