Assembly of Benito Seats Distribution, 54th Cosa

[Istefan Perþonest]

The certified election results are:

NPW 4
PRESENT 5
PNP 1
MODERATE RADICALS ARISE 1
ZPT 1

Votes for PRESENT, of course, are not used for allocating parties, so seven votes were cast for seats. Since everybody else who cast votes cast them for parties this time, there are no issues of interpretation this election, for the first time since I've been doing this. We accordingly can go right ahead and use Hare-Niemeyer:

Party Calculation Seats
New Peculiar Way                     4/(7/11) = 6 seats, 0.2857 remainder
Moderate Radicals Arise             1/(7/11) = 1 seat, 0.5714 remainder
Peculiar National Party               1/(7/11) = 1 seat, 0.5714 remainder
Zefençadeirs del Päts Talossan    1/(7/11) = 1 seat, 0.5714 remainder

                                            9 integer seats, largest remainder: 3-way tie.

Which means I've got to work out how to assign two seats to three parties, while the NPW can go ahead and name their seat-holder(s) and a Maestro since they have an outright majority.

[E.S. Bornatfiglheu]

NPW

E.S. Bornatfiglheu - 3 seats

Iason Bitxichë Taiwos - 3 seats

We nominate E.S. Bornatfiglheu as Maestro.

Okay, for a random process outside my ability to influence, I am going to use the Wisconsin Daily Pick 4 for Saturday.

If the first number is 0, 1, or 2, a seat will be awarded to the alphabetically first of the three parties, Moderate Radicals Arise.
If the first number is 3, 4, or 5, a seat will be awarded to the alphabetically second of the three parties, the Peculiar National Party.
If the first number is 6, 7, or 8, a seat will be awarded to the alphabetically third of the three parties, the Zefençadeirs del Päts Talossan.

If the first number is 9, we'll evaluate the second number as above. if the second number is a 9, we'll move on to the third, if the third number is 9, then the fourth, and then if necessary the 1st, second, and 3rd numbers in the Pick 3 game. If that still fails to resolve, we'll use the Sunday drawings in the same order, and following dates as necessary, for as many dates as necessary. If the Wisconsin lottery ends its pick games before January 1st, probably due to force majeure, we will use the lottery of Talossa's neighbor across Lake Michigan, the state of Michigan. If we are still unresolved on January 1st, I'll invent a new procedure based on whatever seems best to me to somehow curse, since we'll clearly be dealing with one.

After that seat is allocated, we'll use the next number in the sequence defined above to determine which of the two remaining parties gets the second seat. If 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the seat will go to the alphabetically prior of the two remaining parties; if 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then the alphabetically latter of the two.

Okay, the numbers picked in the Saturday, December 21st drawing were 4, 2, 6, 0.

The first number being 4, the seat goes to the PNP. The PNP has 2 seats to fill.
The second number being 2, the seat goes to Moderate Radicals Arise. Moderate Radicals Arise has two seats to fill.
Sorry, ZPT, looks like you got the short draw. The ZPT has only one seat to fill.

For the time being, the two MRA seats go to Erschéveþ, and I will keep my seat in the ProvSenate.
