====The Senate====
====The Senate ====
The Senate of Alksearia is comprised of elected nobles and appointed nobility. All elected members of the Senate hold the title Baron/Baroness while all appointed nobles are titled Lord/Lady. This does not correlate to any pre-existing titles that they hold. All the Barons/Baronesses are elected by their peers (anyone with a Sir/Madam title or higher) and serve 5 year terms. They cannot run for re-election the follow term, but after sitting out for a term, they are allowed to run once again. The elective process for a Baron/Baroness is different from the General Assembly. Instead of a traditional First Past the Ballots, the 200 nobles with the highest vote count are elected to a 5 year term. In the event of a tie, a run-off is held a month later. Baron/Baroness run without party affiliation, and instead form voting blocs depending on the issue at hand.
