Proposed by: Wooble 13:28, 24 May 2007 (EDT)

At any time, a player may make a "Canton Ranking" Game Announcement. This announcement should contain a list of the Cantons in ranked order. Any Canton Ranking Game Announcement supersedes any previous Canton Ranking Game Announcement made by the same Player, and shall remain in effect until that Player makes a new Canton Ranking Game Announcement. Canton Ranking Game Announcements made after 12:01 AM Eastern Time on the first day of a month but before Leader assignments have been made for the month shall go into effect after Leader assignments have been made and before non-Leader Players are assigned Canton residency for the month.

At the beginning of each month, the Scorekeeper shall assign Leaders to Cantons as follows:

1. Any Active Player who is the only Player to rank a Canton first in his or her rankings shall be that Canton's leader.

2. If two or more players rank a given Canton first in their rankings, the players' Popularity shall be compared. For the purposes of this comparison, the incumbent Leader of the Canton shall receive a bonus of 10 popularity, plus an additional bonus of 20 popularity if the Canton is in a Dynasty and another bonus of 20 popularity for each other Dynasty that has declared war on the Canton. The Player with the highest popularity who has ranked the Canton first shall become Leader. If two or more players are tied for the same popularity, then the Player who has been continuously Active for the longest period of time shall become the Leader.

3. The rankings of Players, if any, who are still not Canton Leaders shall be compared according to the above 2 procedures after removing previously assigned Cantons from their rankings. This continues until each Canton has a Leader or until every Player leads a Canton.

A Player may only be leader of one (1) Canton at a time. Choosing a new Canton will forfeit leadership in previous Cantons. If two players are tied for the same popularity, then the Player listed first on the Census shall have first choice of Canton.

Leadership of Cantons shall be retroactive to 12:01 AM on the first day of each month regardless of when the Scorekeeper announces the rankings.
