Pavia: Difference between revisions

The Crown Prince of Pavia is elected by a majority of the Dukes no sooner than every six weeks and no later than every 12 weeks. The wide breadth in time between electable periods is due to the Pavian National 'Dice Day'. After six weeks of rule, the Crown Prince must partake in Dice Day; a randomized dice-based system that will determine when they 'die', and their reign ends. Every Saturday after the 6th week, the crown prince must choose a number off of a 6 sided die and roll the dice, should their chosen number appear then they are deemed dead by the state and an election for a new Crown Prince is held immediately. Should the Crown Prince's number not appear, then they are safe from death until the next Saturday when they must roll again. However, this time picking two numbers, as the amount of numbers picked each Dice Day shall correspond to the number of Dice Days they have endured in their current reign. For instance if it was the Crown Prince's 3rd Dice Day then they will pick 3 separate numbers off of the dice, giving them just a 50% chance of survival.

Elections are to be done anonymously, with each Duke informing the State Tabulator privately of their desired candidate for Crown Prince. If no Duke reaches the threshold of a majority, or if there is a tie, then the State Tabulator presents the anonymized vote tally to the Dukes, and voting shall continue in the same manner until a majority is reached. Within this system, elections for Crown Prince may go on for multiple rounds until a candidate is chosen.
