The Czar of Deltaria has, in his infinite generosity and fairness, recently decided to drop his use of the title 'Protector of the Jelbic Peoples', until such time as representatives from the Jelbic Peoples themselves can affirm such a mandate (or offer it to somebody else). Each Jelbic nation is granted a number of votes, based on the amount of Jelbic peoples in that nation, and their political representation within the nation. New elections can be called at any time, by any elector-state, and a call for adjustments to the voting power of any elector-state may be enacted by unanimous assent of all involved.
As it stands, the votes are allocated thusly ;
Jelbania would receive five votes to cast.
Barmenia would receive five votes to cast.
Pontesi would receive three votes to cast.
Vanuku would receive two votes to cast.
Deltaria would receive one vote to cast.
The title 'Protector of the Jelbic Peoples' will be appointed by a simple majority. It will be left up to the national legislative assemblies of the nations in question as to how to determine the method of casting their votes. As an example, and for the record, the largest party represented in the Deltarian Voivodeship of Dissuwa will be granted the discretion to cast the single vote allocated to Deltaria.
Current nominees for the position (and their relevant titles) are ;
- Lubomir of the Čestibor (Czar of Deltaria and Suzerain of Jelbania)
- Juliana of the Mede (Queen of Barmenia and Marchioness of Vanuku)
- Vincent of the Lerna (King of Pontesi)
- Krsyijkai of the Jeztri (King of Jelbania)
Additional nominees may be presented at any time during the electoral process.
