What would be the play-by-play process on how a law is passed? "The Doruideate ("Council of Druids") is the delegative court of the Roigne Jaillois. The Doruideate is charged with advising the King-of-Kings, as well as exercising the administrative duties that the King-of-Kings has delegated to the court. The Doruideate sits on the first Sunday of each season (except Winter), as well as whenever the King-of-Kings summons the Doruideate, such as during wars or political crises. The Doruideate is composed of 204 Doruides, each of whom has one vote in general sessions. Not all Doruides choose to participate in every vote, with many members having responsibilities outside the court. The court is often divided into subdivisions (Corta) based on specific matters: for example, ecclesiastical and royal members vote on matters relevant to religious matters, and martial and royal members vote on military matters. The generals sessions are only called for matters of relevance to the entire realm, such as: the administration of the realm treasury, general taxation, et cetera. The King-of-Kings may end a session, or invalidate a court vote at any time when he feels the court has overstepped its realm of responsibility. When a Doruideaton vote is tied, the King-of-Kings is responsible for making the final decision. In practice, this means the King-of-Kings casts a second tie-breaking vote. There are two formal leadership positions in the Doruideate. The Chief (Chapet) of the Doruideate supervises the sessions of the Doruideate (in consulation with the King-of-Kings), and has the power to censure certain Doruides who break the rules of decorum (e.g. insulting a member of the royal family, insulting a fellow Doruide). The Chiefhood is traditionally reserved for a female priest, and must be impartial between the factions. The Secretary-General (Meregraphe) of the Doruideate is the leader of the government, confirmed by a simple majority vote of the Doruideate. The Meregraphe supervises the bureaucracy, and makes day-to-day governance decisions. The Meregraphe also proposes candidates for bureaucratic positions which require Doruideate confirmation. Voting for the Meregraphe typically lasts multiple rounds, as each faction presents their candidate, and horse-trading for each faction's support takes place. Candidates for Doruideate leadership may only come from aristocratic constituencies. The Counter-Secretary (Contragraphe) is the informal leader of the opposition to the Meregraphe, and the voice of the court minority. The Contragraphe is an informal position, elected by a majority of those who voted against the successful Meregraphe, and has no real power outside rhetoric. The Meregraphe may also appoint other informal deputy leadership positions, usually as ways to appease certain factions. Seats on the Doruideate (referred to as Doruideaques) come from diverse constituencies, each with unique methods of choosing who fills the seat. The present Doruideaques are: - 10 Royal seats (including the King-of-Kings, who automatically gets a seat) - 33 Aristocratic seats - 30 Ecclesiastical seats - 17 Corporate seats - 22 Martial seats - 92 Commoner seats Most Doruides hold their seats for life, or at least until their constituency votes to 'recall' them for whatever reason. Some seats (mostly geographic seats) have compulsory elections every few years, giving the constituency opportunity to replace or re-elect their representative. Many indirectly elected seats require the delegates who originally elected the representative to hold 'approval' votes periodically, allowing the delegates to call a new election should they find their representative's performance unsatisfactory. Constituencies limit the eligibility for those who wish to run for their seat. All constituencies require the candidate to be a member of the constituency. Many require the candidate to meet certain requirements, such as paying an amount to the constituency leadership, meeting a certain income level, or being a member of the upper classes. Most Doruides form factions, associations of members with common priorities and views. These factions form informal pacts to cooperate on certain issues, trade votes on matters relevant to their constituencies, and typically vote in blocs for the Meregraphe."
