Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on May 05, 2024, 02:49:46 AMWell done Barclamïu ! I like this, it's original, intro is ceremonious and lyrical, then calmer and inspiring. Impatient to listen to the words on it !The Sénéchal likes it... looks like this version will be the anthem.
QuoteChapter II- L'Etats de Cézembre
Article 7. Legislative power in the Sovereign Province of Cézembre is invested in l'Etats de Cézembre. l'Etats shall consist of no more and no less than twenty (20) seats.
Seats in l'Etats de Cézembre can only be assigned to citizens of Cézembre. Citizens may hold more than one seat, but no more than six. One seat cannot be divided among nor assigned to more than one citizen.
Article 8. The chancery is requested to conduct elections to l'Etats. Elections to l'Etats shall be conducted at the same time as elections to the Cosâ and in accordance with the national election laws and rules. The Sénéchal (or the Governor-General in case the Sénéchal has been absent for more than one week) may request the chancery not to conduct those elections in no less than one week before balloting day. If the Sénéchal (or Governor-General) makes such a request, the Sénéchal (or the Governor-General) shall conduct the elections in accordance with provincial election laws and rules.
Article 9. After elections to l'Etats, each party will receive 20 numbers, which will be produced by dividing the number of votes the party received by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. The 20 highest numbers will be referred to as high quotients. In case the 20th highest number has the same value as the 21th highest number all numbers with the same value will not be considered high quotients. This will result in vacant seats in the assembly.
Each party will receive a number of seats, equal to the number of high quotients it received. Each party may divide its seats amongst Cézembrian citizens as it sees fit. If a member dies or resigns or is impeached by a motion receiving a 2/3rds vote of the L'Etats, the seats shall return to the party that assigned the seats.
Article 10. L'Etats shall have power to pass any bill into law by a simple majority vote of its Voting Members. Le Sénéchal shall 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
QuoteChapter II- L'Etats de Cézembre
Article 7. Legislative power in the Sovereign Province of Cézembre is invested in l'Etats de Cézembre. l'Etats shall consist of a variable number of seats, assigned based upon request by citizens of Cézembre. Seats in l'Etats de Cézembre can only be requested by citizens of Cézembre. Citizens may represent more than one seat by proxy, but no more than two additional proxy seats. One seat cannot be divided among nor assigned to more than one citizen.
Article 8. There are no elections to l'Etats, as it is an ongoing body of representatives within Cézembre. The Sénéchal (or the Governor Général in case the Sénéchal has been absent for more than one week) shall receive written requests for seats in l'Etats by citizens. After confirmation of credentials of citizenship, those making a request shall be provided a seat in l'Etats. In turn, the citizen that is seated may extend a proxy for their seat to another seated citizen within l'Etats who does not yet have two proxies held. A proxy extended must be accepted by a seated member in writing, who shall have full control of that seat until such time the citizen extending the proxy retracts the assignment. Should a person issuing a proxy to a seat later renounce or be removed from citizenship, the proxy is automatically retracted.
Article 9. The number of seats in l'Etats may not exceed the population of the Province of Cézembre. There will be no vacant seats in the assembly, as they either held by active members, or extended to active members by proxy. Citizens retain the right of association with any organization that they choose, but their votes from seats in l'Etats de Cézembre are held in their name either by right or by proxy, and are not held by parties, associations, consortiums, corporations, or other organizations.
Quote from: mximo on December 03, 2022, 02:30:42 PMNo party is really republican anymore and as a democrat I note that the population by referendum said no to a republic.
Quote from: mximo on May 03, 2024, 11:25:52 PMWhy not hold an election to find a new king or queen? Why not consulted? Do we really need a king? Isn't it time for a debate? And you, Mr. Absent King, couldn't you just abdicate and finally give us some fresh air?
I demand a democratic debate on the future of the monarchy. Besides, don't we have an election starting? We've been living without a king for years, and we're doing just fine
Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on December 02, 2022, 07:32:46 PMColonel Carbonèl's record of political inconsistency and controversial statements is absolutely a fair point to raise if the TNC think an alliance with him is something that will attract, rather than repel, votes.

- Lots of discussion about the succession of King John
Let's give the mike to an external observer :
Copilot, can you write a summary of the recent discussions about the succession of the king from wittenberg.talossa.com, in around 100 words?
Copilot :
Recent discussions on wittenberg.talossa.com have centered around the succession of the King of Talossa. The debate involves a proposed amendment that would establish a Council of Regency in the event of the King's demise, abdication, or removal. Participants have discussed various aspects of the amendment, including the possibility of electing a successor or reforming the monarchy to grant it more power. The community is actively engaged in refining the proposal, with suggestions such as a "sunset clause" to ensure timely succession and prevent the need for further amendments
Well, not bad for an AI, but... to understand this important issue, you'd better read the discussions below :
The Vacant Throne (We Really Mean Business Now) Amendment
The Active Monarch Assurance Amendment
and of course read this Message from the King
