I am in favour of this Bill if the King does not want to resign. We keep our political institutions (do not shift to a tepid presidential royalty), and fix the current blocking issue. In France we say *Don't throw the baby out with the bath water*.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 11, 2024, 11:46:42 PMI'd support a simple measure vacating the throne and moving toward a regency until someone can be found who wants to actually be Talossa's monarch. I would still like to believe we will have a King Txec (or some other regnal name). @þerxh Sant-Enogat you actually spoke in support of this as an alternative to the currently hoppered amendment during our debates. Would you still support a simple removal of John as the alternative to the current proposal?

Yes I will. Let's fix the root cause first if this is the will of the People.

Thanks @Ián Tamorán S.H. ! Magnificent photos and a lot of interesting historical info.
@Barclamïu da Miéletz : I also learned that Belgian disciplinary battalions were assigned there during WW1... the missing link with la Brabançonne ?

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on April 11, 2024, 03:55:17 AMLet's just ditch the idea of an anthem for our province then. I wrote the lyrics for literally nothing, I can't bring a melody together, nothing. If some of you do want an anthem for Cézembre then you can do it yourself. I wrote lyrics that I thought will be used but they will have to unfortunately be scrapped. I feel somewhat disappointed...

Don't be disapointed, you did a very nice work ! The lyrics are very patriotic, and I am sure that we can use these on another musical theme.
And I don't know the opinion of the other Cézembréans, I do not decide alone, may be they are OK with the Belgium anthem ?

Sorry for my late answer. I think that the Minister of Defense has responded to this Terpelaziun with a sense of humour that is typical to Army persons, and which may seem a bit rude to us civilians. I understand his answer actually means "well... nothing new really.".

As I wrote previously, I don't think it is a good idea to base our Provincial anthem on the national anthem of another country, and Belgium has no real logical link with Talossa or Cézembre. Would we want that many think about Belgium when hearing our Anthem ?
Could we use another music ? may be more related to Brittany, such as in this :

or such as the ones presented by @xpb ?

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on April 11, 2024, 02:49:46 AM@þerxh Sant-Enogat do you accept my proposal? As soon as I can I will include the fanfare that @xpb made. Then the melody will be finished.

Azul @Barclamïu da Miéletz . The choice for an Anthem for Cézembre has to be decided by l'Etats, the Provincial Assembly of Cézembre. It is not a decision of the Sénéschal, as you wrote on TalossaWiki.

I will tell you if Talossa is mentioned

After an internal vote, The TNC has decided to endorse the Bill.

WHEREAS the position of Distain (in english "Deputy Prime Minister") is an extremely active position in the government, taking action for the Prime Minister in any number of the various cabinet ministries, and assisting the various ministers in completion of assigned projects.

WHEREAS the badge for the position of Distain is a very nice one, but gives some ideas for other ones


THEREFORE I , þerxh Sant-Enogat, Seneschal of the Kingdom of Talossa, issue the following Prime Dictate under the provisions of Organic Law VI.4:

The position of TRISTAIN is hereby created (in English "Deputy Deputy Prime Minister"), with the mission to assist the DISTAIN in every action he will undertake

The badge for the Tristain position is designed as followed: a hand, palm fronting, with three fingers raised, on a green field over a red field disc



Important precision: even if it may seem logical, the position of SENESCHAL is not – I repeat, is not - renamed STAIN, and the related badge for the position is not updated to figure a hand, palm fronting, with one finger raised.

The official motto for the Tristain office is "El qi me crea isch ûn calucjeu del Avrïu"

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on March 30, 2024, 05:42:17 PMIf @þerxh Sant-Enogat and @Bentxamì Puntmasleu will like the idea of me composing the music, then it's settled.

Excellent idea !

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since Makenzie ( @makenziesundquist ) first posted on Wittenberg, following her introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS she has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, culture, (and because she loves Milwaukee) and

WHEREAS she desires citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa, and

WHEREAS by all indications it appears that she would be a loyal and dedicated citizen, and a credit to this nation if she obtains the grant of citizenship she requests, and

WHEREAS she will certainly spice up and enrich our Talossan culture,

THEREFORE I, þerxh Sant-Enogat, a citizen in good standing of the province of Cézembre and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do by the present petition the Secretary of State @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Makenzie Sundquist, as specified by law.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on March 29, 2024, 10:59:50 AM@þerxh Sant-Enogat I really don't see a problem that if our province were to have an anthem that it would base on a country's anthem. Atatürk uses Türkiye's anthem 

Yes, but Türkiye's anthem is logical for Atatürk.. As Il Canto Degli Italiani could be Benito's for the same reason. And.. you know.. French are always making jokes on Belgian natives :-) 
La Brabançonne is a nice anthem but would ring immediately Belgian for people in the Cézembre region.

Congrats ! I encourage you now to choose a Talossan name, and go on building Talossa's history with us all. Welcome to our Nation  @DJ_POLE !

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on March 20, 2024, 03:19:24 PMI'm getting detxa vista (Talossan déjà vu) here. The TNC have decided that a senior civil servant is impermissibly "double jobbing" and is trying to make it illegal. The funny thing is that this was not a problem when the current Clerk of Corts was named A-Xh by the TNC Seneschál not one month ago. What has changed - apart from the fact that the Clerk/A-Xh is no longer a TNC member?

The quoted (re)nomination was not contrary to any laws in force, and was - to my opinion - fully in line with the skills, the experience and the probity of the incumbent.
To make something illegal, you need first to be able to discuss a law ;-), and to then gather the necessary majority of votes.
