Federal Council: Difference between revisions

All non-procedural votes are by roll-call. States are called for their vote in order of the date that they were admitted to the Federacy, with one exception. [[Serikorda]] and [[Etivéra]], which happened to ratify the Fundamental Statute during the same hour on the same day and both claim the honour of being the first state, alternate voting first. The [[Stewardship of Wintergen|government-in exile of Wintergen Island]], despite representing one of the oldest parts of the Federacy, has been called last in every vote since [YEAR]. This is because, due to the occupation of [[Wintergen]] by [[Burgundie]], the state's Councillor is chosen by five non-elected legislators living in [[Kiygrava]]. As such, out of respect to the populated states and to ward off accusations of being a {{wp|pocket borough}}, the Wintergen Board of Estimate instructs its Councillors to abstain from legally-binding votes unless they are relevant to the status of Wintergen or are unanimous. Voting last allows the Wintergen Councillor to confirm that support for the measure is indeed unanimous before casting his vote.
