I'd love it if some of those who were around in the early days could provide their memories. Sir Tamorán unfortunately can't be with us so he asked me to pass on his thoughts. But I'd love to hear more from @GV or @Gjermund Higraff, who were among the original revolutionaries, or @mpf or @anglatzara who (like me) jumped on board in the first month or so.

Happy Calonda Gun and Happy Republic Day!

Twenty years ago today, the Talossan Republic was founded when eleven citizens seized control of Wittenberg X, in reaction to the increasing intolerance and abuse of King Robert I. A full history of events in the lead-up to that time is found in A Nation Sundered, by Gödafrïeu Valcádac'h (@GV) who took part in these events.

These events marked the first time in history when Talossa as a nation not only asserted itself against its King, but succeeded. Many more such events (the abdication of KR1 in August 2005, Reunision in April 2012, and of course this year's monarchy reform) have emphasised this - but the Revolution of Calondă Gün was the first to succeed.

QuoteI'm proud to say I was a part of a Talossan republic. And I'm proud of all those who worked hard to make such a republic. On this, the twentieth anniversary of our revolution, we should honor those who fought for true Talossan ideals of freedom, independence, and the dignity of the Talossan people. Long live Talossa!

- Sir Tamorán dal Navă (@grubi), first President of the Talossan Republic

I hereby claim a seat.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on Yesterday at 04:01:22 AMI find it sad that Poland is known elsewhere just because of a swear word (although I admit I use it all the time when my parents aren't around.)

It's not the only country, to be fair (as Finns can attest)

Finland is famous for "perkele" iirc.

Yes, that is what I was referring to.
