I would humbly like you to consider
storage.calculates.irksome
or, In French:
patience.verbaux.éditrice
for my homestead.  This is at the joining of several ways into, out of, and within Talossa, and also marks my infuriating nagging and expertise in computing (and writing books).

If we choose also to include any Celtic language, it would be
bwytawyr.llosgiad.maeres
(eaters, incense, mayor)

That looks like an excellent position for a homestead.  I will enter it into the rolls as claim #7 which will be brought into phase 2 fo the Land Office business - these will typically accumulate for awhile until formal presentation of the entire phase to l'Etats, which in turn will affirm that phase of homestead grants.

And you make an excellent suggestion as the system does not yet have Breton that Cymraeg would be a good addition.  In fact, the additional teritiary languages that might be considered for homestead addresses could be all of those that relate to the defined catchment area, including Irish, Scottish, Icelandic, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech, German, Flemish, Dutch, and Finnish (hey wait a minute this could be important)

https://w3w.co/tiedustelu.palatsi.salasanat
or inquiry palace passwords
then using L'Översteir
quirà tpalaþiă eßeră (not sure how to pluralize the latter)

at least that would be one method to move to Talossan, or it could just be direct from the original english to provistă calcülar corvadă (perhaps needing to change the second to a verb form, and create a more precise word for the third)

This may be of interest to the non-Cézembre homestead holders thus far:

And those who have not yet made their homestead claim are encouraged to do so.

DRAFT LEGISLATION

Whereas
A13 An Act to secure Homesteads on the Isle of Cézembre provides for anyone of Talossan or Berber heritage to request a homestead (see https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=677.0), and

Whereas
Those who are not Cézembrean citizens may have homesteads, and

Whereas
In El Lexhatx
7.3. No Talossan citizen may transfer his provincial citizenship to a different province, except by physically moving into that province or into the zone corresponding to that province. A citizens living inside or outside of Talossa, who moves permanently into an outside zone corresponding to a different province will be (re)assigned by the SoS to the province corresponding to the new geographic zone in accordance with the following provisions:
7.3.1 The provisions in this section do not apply unless the citizen explicitly consents to being reassigned. Whenever any Talossan wants to move his provincial assignment to the province in whose assigned area he actually lives, he may do so by notifying the Chancery. The move will be officially recognised once the Chancery has validated the request. (49RZ21 49RZ13)
and
7.10. CÉZEMBRE PROVINCE. Talossan citizens living in the following areas shall be assigned to Cézembre Province: the nations of Ireland, United Kingdom, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Monaco and any European nation not listed elsewhere, and

Many thanks, Ián, for your support!

To me, anything that retains a King as the head of state but introduces a working democratic way of electing/sacking them, is a compromise. Whether it's a compromise that benefits that Monarchists or the Republicans, is a different matter.

I think it's an absolutely vital compromise for Talossa. I've been a Talossan for 23 years, and I've seen the ills of having a non-elected head of state, many times, in different forms. I will never agree that it is a good idea to have a King for life, even if there is a theoretical (but not practical) way of getting rid of him/her/them.

However, I have also been a proud citizen of the Talossan republic, and I firmly believe that the choice of having a republic instead of a monarchy seriously harmed our immigration. For some stupid reason, especially Americans seem to think that Royalty are so exciting and sexy, that they are attracted to them like flies to a honeypot. So let the monarchy be our honeypot. That, and having an apolitical high-prestige citizen on the tallest stool in the Talossan kitchen, are the two main good points with having a King. Let's keep them, but make the King answerable to the nation.

Remember -- and this is vital -- discussing and tinkering with the constitution and the nature of Talossa are Talossa's life blood. Nothing should be exempt from discussing. No legislation should be set in stone. If the die-hard republicans want to take this compromise and like Fianna Fáil in Ireland use it as a stepping stone to a full-fledged republic, let them try. I will argue against them, but I will relish the discussions. To claim that a piece of legislation is the end of the road is very un-Talossan and outright harmful to our political life.

Indeed -- discussion and debate is excellent and important!  I am pleased that this thread, like the previous one that I triggered with an image or two (worth the proverbial kiloword) has been a place where citizens can state their thoughts.  One can hope that the opinions can be the focus, and that agreement to disagree can be the context.

As suggested on Talossa.net by @Miestra Schiva  regarding Brezhoneg as an official language of Cézembre

DRAFT LEGISLATION

Whereas
Cézembre is located in the region of Brittany, near to that peninsula flowing into the Atlantic sea and the English Channel in north west France, and

Whereas
Cézembre has adopted the historic flag of Brittany, and

Whereas
Brittany is the traditional homeland of the Breton people as one of the six Celtic nations, and

Whereas
Breton is also the name of the language of the Breton people, and

Whereas in CAG Article 5.
The sole historic and national language of the entire Talossan people, and therefore of the Cézembrian Province, is the Talossan language (el glhetg Talossan).
The Cézembrian government shall also recognise English and French as useful working second languages, and may adopt tertiary working languages by law.

Be it resolved that

The Cézembrian government shall recognize Breton as a tertiary working language.

Citizens of Cézembre who wish to suggest new bills &/or modification to existing legislation may place their ideas within this RAK forum, which in turn may be sponsored by a sitting l'Etats member in the current or future sessions of that body.

Note that draft legislation should be placed in the RAK https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?board=31.0 (which serves a similar function as the Ziu's Hopper) and when sufficiently refined to be brought here, preferably by the start or early on in the session to allow for thoughtful consideration.

Cézembre Notice of Election - Candidates and Issues declared by 12 June, Voting 14 June to 1 July has been sent via email to all citizens and the SoS.

Oyez Oyez Oyez

The final session #4 (after 3 prior regular sessions plus one special session) is called for l'Etats for June 1-12.

There may be legislation to be considered and/or referred by l'Etats to the citizens for the upcoming Cézembre election taking place June 14-July 1, along with ratification of the updated CAG based upon enacted legislation. 

Up until the end of session 4, there will be declarations of candidacy for either this body or the post of Le Sénéchal as described in  https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=825.0

The date in the title is incorrect - that should be June 1-12, with the 13th left for preparation of the ballot for the Cézembre election.  This information will move to CCC at https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?board=32.0

Asking questions and getting responses like this -- rather than the other reasoned ones in this thread -- can really bring out the meaner and nastier tendencies, don't you think?

Yeah, how much did you consider "nastier tendencies" when you posted that you thought that your previous support for Reunision was a mistake? Perhaps you don't understand how such exclusionary tendencies make other Talossans feel unwelcome, and under threat.

Anyway I was sure that there was positive statute law which said "anyone who immigrates during the election period gets a vote". But I can't find it, so I'm feeling confused. Was there such a law and it was repealed?

I am certain that the will of the citizens will be expressed in the upcoming election, and that the sharp tone of the various arguments are indicative of the importance that is placed upon that endeavor.  There are but a fraction of citizens who have an account on these forums, but perhaps more will be encouraged to read and perhaps engage in debate.

No. This was the line put up by King Robert in 2004, alleging that his political opponents were "stacking the immigration queue" against him. Placing new citizens under suspicion, rather than welcoming them, was one of the things that led to him eventually being run out of the country. It makes Talossa smaller, meaner, nastier and more cult-like. That tradition - like the belief that some people, i.e. those critical of the monarchy, don't belong in Talossa - is abhorrent.

... where is the section of the Organic or statute law which explicitly states that you get a vote if you immigrate during the election? Because I'm sure there is one.

And needless to say—I informed the Chancery weeks in advance about my move and I have absolutely no nefarious intentions in my transfer. I would just like the Talossan province to reflect the actual place I'm actually living in catchment-wise.

It is great that you will be able to relocate to the appropriate province - and I did not wish to infer any problematic intent.  The situation just triggered some questions based upon the law that might apply and how it would be applied during election periods (which your relocation does not appear to effect).

QuoteWhy would we suspend immigration? The chances of someone completing the process from start to finish in the 15 days of an election are incredibly slim. If someone were to be granted citizenship while an election was ongoing, why would we not allow them to exercise their rights and vote?

I think the reason could be because of the perceptions of impropriety (not necessarily something nefarious, but just poor optics).
