b) If they are established in land unclaimed by any realm currently recognized under the Council of the Crowned, they may be recognized as a sitting peer in the House of Dukes upon receiving an official vote of support from either 60% of active sitting members of the Council of the Crowned or 50% of active sitting members of the Council of the Crowned concurrent with 50% of active sitting members of the House of Dukes. Upon ascension the Council of the Crowned is established as their official liege.
