Mahoma Orta Atencio, the senator from Savereage has been discharged from the senate for lack of participation in the IC and inactivity.

On another note, I would like to offer up to office of speaker of the senate. I would like to have Jacob Haas resign but I would not want to do that unless I know that someone else will fill that spot. The responsibilities of the speaker are opening sessions, calling for votes, closing sessions, making the deciding vote if a final vote on a bill is tied, and addressing any issues in the IC such as violence (I don't think we will have an problem with that) and misconduct of senators.

I have a few things I would like to inform the senators about. Voting on the ISDA executive head will be tomorrow. I will make a post about the candidates and voting will be by ballot box (a poll). Next, Sunday I am planning on making a post for the resignation of Jacob Haas. No senator knows yet, so don’t say anything about it in the IC, but if you are interested let me know via telegram or post in the OOC. Lastly, because of the growth of this senate, I will be making some modifications and adjustments to the home thread of the OOC, IC, and news thread. I hope to improve the quality greatly. Thanks for investing time in the International Senate and helping me grow this organization.

But some nations have 2 or 3 votes. Could a poll work?

I am thinking about giving each nation one vote on the ISDA executive head instead of giving each senator their own vote. This way a ballot box would work and nations would be voting instead of senators. The vote could be unbalanced if the nations that have two senators vote for the same person.

I haven’t been at home for the past few days so I have waited to make a post in the IC until I got home. I will be getting home tomorrow so expect a post then about the ISDA executive head, but in the mean time I will answer Annixe Christos question in the IC. The International Senate can have a flag, but I don’t think a bill would be appropriate for that, maybe just bring it up in the senate for discussion.

I have made a post for the resignation of Jacob Haas. If you have a candidate from your nation you may present him now. I also have some senate business to take care of:

The Liberal Party has been dissolved due to inactivity of the party president and failing to produce a constitution.

The following senators have been discharged from the senate because of inactivity in the IC and lack of participation in the discussions.

Formal Nation Name: The Free Empire of Vaktaria
Senator Name: Lord Phineas Castleton, Baron of Wellstone
Senator Gender: Male
Senator Age: 36
Senator Height: 5'10"
Senator Weight: 13st 5lbs
Senator Past Experience: Former Representative in The Parliament of Atlas
Senator Ideology: Fiscal Conservative
Join a Party (optional): Economic Coalition
Appearance: Overweight and balding, the Baron is rarely seen outside of court dress in public; a blue uniform decorated with medallions and chains, an ornamented sword handle at his side (blade absent).
Main Strengths: An old, proud family name as well as the Emperor's favour makes him confident and stubborn in debate.
Main Weaknesses: Being unused to being disrespected in any way, he can be put off by personal attacks.
Biography: Born into the centuries old Noble Castleton family, Lord Phineas was brought up as a country gentlemen. Due to his upbringing away from the concentrated and competitive city of Reichland, very little was expected of the young Lord when at the age of 12, his father died and left the estate and title of Baron of Wellstone to Lord Phineas. Shortly after his fathers death, Lord Phineas was taken to Court and pledged allegience to Emperor Reigner II; after this he remained at court and showed remarkable alacrity for a boy his age. Perhaps his competence and ambitions within court are why he was granted the honour of representing Vaktaria at the Regional Parliament of Atlas at the age of 20, where he served for 8 illustrious years before a scandal about a supposed love affair caused the Lord to resign from his position and return to his estate where he remained far from the public eye until a recent visit to Court in Reichland during which he was again granted a great honour to represent Vaktaria's interests at the International Senate if the nations application was to be accepted.
