'' What do you mean you're my VP? I never voted for you. ''

 - Kestrel Adain to VP Toren Olberg

These men and women of the Crownless Lands are the directly elected representatives of the various provinces in the country. As of 1454, there are 212 members of the Vox Senatus, the legislative body of the Confederated Free Provinces.

Qualifications
Each member of the Senatus is put through a stringent string of background checks and loyalty examinations before they are sworn in. The judicial branch, specifically the First Court, holds refusal rights to any unsatisfactory candidate. This can be countered by an Executive Minister direct sanction.

Election
As of the Vox Populi Act of 1387, the members of the Senatus are directly elected through popular vote by their respective consituents in the nine provinces. Any election that does not conclude with a participant receiving over fifty percent of the vote will intiate a run off election between the two most popular candidates. This is to insure that at least half of the population of a province is in agreement as to their potential representatives.
