The final session is called to order for l'Etats through 31 January 2022.  My apologies for the delay in the launch.  I will publish an agenda later today.  The only thing I will bring is the confirmation of a couple new homestead sites.  Does anyone have any other business to bring forth?

PRELIMINARY AGENDA for L'ETATS SESSION Through 31 January

1.  Presentation of provisional homestead grants

There are two recent homesteading grant requests made to the Cézembre Land Office including:

Danihel Forestal for https://w3w.co/flimsy.soapy.strategy
and
Breneir Tzaracomprada for https://w3w.co/garble.ambient.slung

The CLO has determined both of these homesteads are properly distanced from other homesteads, and are within the zone Interdite as required by statute.  If there are no objections, then these homesteads will be added to the map and log (current version here). 
If there are objections, these will be discussed by l'Etats and then the grant will be voted upon for approval.

2. TBD pending other requests from seated representatives and/or citizens (none pending currently)

Second call for additional agenda items.  A third call will be placed on 26 January, after which the agenda will be set.

Third and final call for agenda items.  Agenda will be set 27 January and any actions completed by 31 January

updated, will next work on squirrel

Yeah, I was just coming here to post that after posting it on talossa.net.

Talossan has a completely different grammar than English, one much closer to French. You can't "translate" by replacing individual words with their dictionary equivalents. For example, "celebratar" is the infinitive, "to celebrate"; you need the imperative, "celebratetz".

I know that the current grammar of Talossan might be heavy going for newcomers, but it's easier to read and understand than Ben Madison's grammar from 1996 which I learned out of. Everyone who wants to try to use Talossan should read it first, then ask questions.

Thanks I will adjust the penguin text when I get home this evening.   Tomorrow is Squirrel Appreciation Day 21 January so I could also create a graphic for that and appreciate any help with the translation.

an attempt at translation - can anyone suggest edits?
Celebratar Péngö Reconeiçal Ziuă
Celebrate Penguin Awareness Day
20 Januar

So as not to conflict with the current or next Cosa session, and to conduct business such as homestead claim confirmations and other items brought forth from the RAK, I hereby call a session of l'Etats de Cézembre for 24-31 January 2022.

Or perhaps several of us could each take one of the 6 pages

As might relate to legal discussion in other forums... I suppose I could take a cut at it and let others correct my flawed language skills while I learn - that is if this hadn't been done previously.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the most translated document in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The six page document was produced by the United Nations in 1948, and has been translated into over 500 languages and dialects from around the world, ranging from Abkhaz to Zulu. The document outlined for the first time, the fundamental human rights to be universally protected. The premise is that all people, regardless of their race, religion, country of origin, or any other factor, are entitled to those rights enshrined within the document.

I will never, ever have time to do the deep-dives necessary to bring the histories of individual provinces to life, not even for Fiova and Maricopa.

I would love for one or more people in each province to step up and do this historical research on their own.

There's a bit in the Cézembre Administrative Guide but I will endeavor to assemble more.

Thank you for that, but what about the date-scheme I cited at the top of this thread?

If you are referencing when l'Etats meets then:
Article 10. L'Etats shall have power to pass any bill into law by a simple majority vote of its Voting Members. Le Sénéchal s hall send out a notification of voting period, of at least seven days. Each member shall have a prescribed amount of time in which to cast his vote (by email, telephone or forum post) before voting closes.
I have typically extended this to at least a fortnight.

If you mean a general history I will delve into that as well.

An interim step towards funding of IDs or Passports would be to get a custom stamp made (approx. $20) to issue Visas to the Kingdom of Talossa of a duration of 2 to 5 years (to make them reasonably durable) where the holder of one of these other documents could send them with a self addressed stamped envelope for return and charge say ℓ6¤25 or $10USD for processing (taking the stamp out and marking the document and putting it back in the SASE).  Perhaps some kind of coupon book from businesses in the GTA could be included if it is already printed and distributed at UWM or similar organizations.

I have a few months to do something in the Interior portfolio, and ID cards seems to be a very basic thing that I can do. If I get a design, I can make a requisition of funds to get them printed, and liaise with the Chancery to offer them to all citizens.

If the crown relaunched this program in a different form, would there be interest?  His Majesty has the power to confer awards as a general matter, as well as arms, so perhaps a sort of armorial ID card might be in order?  It would be cool to not only have a photo but also a coat of arms on the card, after all.  And since I'm the one who did it last time, I have high confidence I could do it again.

It would be of interest to have simple ID cards, but with investigation for organizations that develop those may turn up some that can also provide camouflage / fantasy passports such as one I obtained for the time I was working in Saudi Arabia and traveling in the middle east.  This was not intended to be presented at any actual border, but perhaps to hand to the nice man in the balaclava holding an AK-47 representing a non-governmental organization.  These may be useful to Talossans both for personal enjoyment and also potentially for personal security, and are typically accompanied by other club membership cards (Whiskey and Science Fiction?) or peripheral documents (Royal Heavy Opera Benefactor? Maritiimi-Maxhestic Yacht Club slip permit?) and perhaps visa stamps from the various provinces or Péngöpäts.  My estimate that such could be developed for $50-$60 US as I believe the Conch Republic sells theirs for $100 as a fundraiser (which could be another purpose for this activity)
