Wittenberg

CURRENT SEAT ASSIGNMENTS

1 seat - Breneir Tzaracomprada (Governor)
7 seats - Mximo Carbonel (Senats + TNC)
1 seat - Acafat del Val (FreeDems)

The Chancery has indicated the certification of the provincial election results.

Pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Florencian Constitution: "No later than ten days following the conclusion of each provincial election, the Governor of Florencia shall have determined and announced the total number of seats for the incoming Nimlet, which number shall be equal to the number of ballots returned in the election, less those returned indicating "Present", and augmented by one additional seat for each incumbent Senator for Florencia, and one additional seat for the Governor;" The total number of non-Present provincial ballots returned was 7.

Pursuant to Section 4(b) There is also one seat for the incumbent Senator and incumbent Governor.

I hereby appoint myself to the Governor seat and recognize that Mximo Carbonel as incumbent Senator is entitled to that seat as well.

The total number of seats in the Nimlet is therefore set at 9.

This leaves 7 seat unassigned by the party leaders.

Based on votes received:

Free Democrats (FreeDems) are entitled to 1 seat.
Talossan National Congress (TNC) is entitled to 6 seats.

Party leader @Miestră Schivă, UrN please advise on your specific appointee.

The seat goes to Açafat dal Val

The 6 TNC seats go to @mximo Carbonèl !

I thank the House of Shepherds for its confidence.

@mximo I believe you have a bill for consideration by the House of Shepherds?

Also, @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB Mr. Secretary,

If you would please add me as a moderator to the Florencia board now that the vote of confidence has successfully concluded.

Done. Should @mximo also be a moderator? He already was when I added you.

If Mximo is OK with it, then I am fine with him being a co-moderator.

I rise to submit the following legislation for consideration by the House of Shepherds:

Resolution 2023-01

Whereas, Florencia has a proud tradition of supporting the institution of the Talossan monarchy, and

Whereas, the question of monarchy reform has been a perennial subject of election campaigning, and

Whereas, one potential reform is to restore a method of royal succession.

Therefore, be it resolved that the House of Shepherds of Florencia, endorses the following proposed method and encourages the Ziu to act without delay:

• We support a new method of royal succession wherein the Monarch is asked to ensure there are always no less than five appointees to the Sabor (Privy Council). Upon a vacancy on the throne without a Designated Successor, the Ziu selects a new Monarch from the membership of the Sabor. Selection by the Ziu is successful with a two-thirds majority in both the Cosa and the Senats. Approval, by simple majority, is then required by nationwide referendum. A sitting Monarch may choose a Designated Successor from amongst the Sabor who will also need approval under the same process. The Designated Successor may be removed by the same process as the Monarch.
• Should this process be instituted we recommend that King John propose Sir Txec dal Nordselva as his Designated Successor to the Ziu and for approval by nationwide referendum.
• Connected to this, we support King John giving the nation a timeline for a transition for his Designated Successor. Or the instituting of a mandatory retirement age of 75 years for the Monarch of Talossa.

Resolution 2023-01 is open for discussion in the House of Shepherds for one week. Discussion period ends on November 23 at 16:52 TST.

Hello I cannot support this motion. It is unconstitutional. It is not the role of a province to determine the order of succession of the monarchy. Still less to tell the King what to do or to suggest to the King an appointment.

We are not yet voting on the motion as the discussion period has not elapsed, so your vote is not recognized. Sorry.

Please propose your new resolution in a separate post. It will also need to go through a period of discussion before voting.

Thanks Mximo.

In response during this discussion period, there are no Organic prohibitions on provinces making policy recommendations at the national level so it is incorrect to state this proposal is inOrganic. Further, this is a recommendation not an order so even if there were a prohibition it would not be in violation of it.

I rise to propose the following resolution:

Resolution 2023-03

Whereas, there has been recurring discussion on an apolitical Chancery, and

Whereas, this discussion began after the incumbent Secretary of State took office as the leader of a national partisan organization, and

Whereas, it is advisable that the nation's election administrator be free of even the appearance of partiality.

Therefore, be it resolved that the House of Shepherds of Florencia, endorses legal reform(s) of the Chancery to make it an apolitical institution.

I suspect there will be no opposition from my consultation with Vuode on catchment area compensation so I present the following authorizing resolution now to consult with my Florencian colleagues:

Resolution 2024-02

Whereas, the province of Vuode has become one of the lowest populated areas in the Kingdom, and

Whereas, this may be exacerbated by its recent loss of a US state in its catchment area, and

Whereas, compensating Vuode for its loss is warranted.

Therefore, be it resolved, that:

The Nimlet of Florencia authorises donating the US state of Minnesota to Vuode as compensation for the recent reduction in its catchment area.

@mximo  Even if we donate Minnesota, Florencia would still have 26 US states, Canadian provinces, and territories along with the catchment area reform, which added a large number of nations to our area. Our population may grow with these changes. It also builds goodwill with the good people of Vuode?

Hi,

New immigrants should be allocated by rotation.
Each province 1 immigrant per 8 immigrants.

If you wish to shuffle Country and State , do it for real and do a real reform not just a cosmetic one.

Mximo the intent is not to shuffle or rotate but to give Vuode back what it lost. This would be an act of goodwill on the part of Florencia for Vuode. Florencia now has a very large area and can afford to lose one state.
