Palmshire House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of Palmshire. It consists of the appointed peers created by Sovereign of Palmshire on advice of Prime Minister. At present, there are nineteen peers appointed to the House of Lords. The members are appointed for life and are not subject to election. Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers must come from either House of Commons or Lords.

Peerages created by the monarch is inheritable. The only stipulation is that the heirs must be an active citizen of Active Worlds or Virtual Paradise and has a property within Palmshire territories. If the current holder of a peerage wishes to name a heir, they must submit name of their heir to the monarch's office to be entered into the records.

The House of Lords meets only between March to December annually and is not mandated to meet regularly (e.g. daily, weekly, or monthly) during these periods. At least three members of the House present is required for the House of Lords to proceed to business. Notice that this quorum will not be raised even if new peers are added to the House in future.

Simple majority is required for any bills to be passed in the House of Lords as the Acts of Parliament. Once bills is passed, it is usually given Royal Assent by the monarch before it can take effect. Royal Assent being withheld by monarch is equivalent to veto but this has not been exercised since 2011.
