Count

Count (feminine, Countess), is a title of honour indicating membership in the middle rank of the peerage. Counts and Countesses can either be electors (peers in their own right) or consorts of electors. On the Peerage of PISO, there is a limit of five (5) seats designated to Counts in their own right. Peer-electors, including Counts and Countess-electors, rank higher than all other non-elector peers.

Typically, senior board members who are involved in PISO dances, or those involved in the dances for several years are created Counts or are elevated from Baronial rank. However, the Crown is not bound by law to exclusively appoint individuals with these qualifications to the Comital rank.
