I have submitted by PM and email:

Brigabobs (hors d'oeuvre)

Sorry about my tardy response

Per RZ11 - Amendment on Reserved Seats for New Citizens
Per RZ12 - The "It's The Immigration, Stupid" Act
Yes on Vote of Confidence

I would be happy to contribute an appetizer, a soup, and an entree to the endeavor.  I will hunt them down.

I am working on a +1 concept, that is for me personally to recruit one active citizen this calendar year.  If each of citizen did that...

I'm not setting public deadlines and a schedule for this on this side of the election. Although if *cough* random members of the public wanted to pitch in and help, at a time when the Interior Minister is severely crushed under the weight of many commitments, then - like the New Citizens' Information Pact - that would be welcome.

Do you envision some questions and answers similar to the following?  (these are more history / geography related and other questions might delve into culture, laws, and rights)

Q. On what date was the Kingdom of Talossä proclaimed to be an independent unit in the master plan of World Singular Secession, thus seceding from the United States of America?
A. 26 December 1979

The national flag, or the bicoloreu, is formally described in heraldic language Per fess vert and gules
Q. What does the green portion of the flag symbolize?
A. The Monarchy and its magnanimity

Q. What does the red portion of the flag symbolize?
A. The Talossans and their tenacity

Q. What is the oldest province of Talossa?
A. Vuode

Q. What is the name given to the process by which the citizens of the Talossan Republic became citizens of the Kingdom of Talossa, ending the eight-year schism that began with the Crisis of 2004?
A. Reunision

Q. What became the eighth province, with an initial population citizens from the Talossan Republic that became citizens of the Kingdom of Talossa?
A. Fiôvâ

Q. What island, which lies off the coast of Saint-Malo, France, was claimed as a colony for Talossa in 1982 and became a province in 1996?
A. Cézembre

No objections have been heard for the homesteading claims which now will be published on an updated map in the coming weeks.

I am assuming there will be an opportunity to have a short answer format (rather than multiple choice).  That takes slightly longer to mark but is a better method of evaluation.

Once a person has completed the test, then they in turn can be assigned to be a marker for a subsequent test by another person, which serves to reinforce the material - in this concept they would be exposed to other questions randomly assigned.

The final session is called to order for l'Etats through 31 January 2022.  My apologies for the delay in the launch.  I will publish an agenda later today.  The only thing I will bring is the confirmation of a couple new homestead sites.  Does anyone have any other business to bring forth?

PRELIMINARY AGENDA for L'ETATS SESSION Through 31 January

1.  Presentation of provisional homestead grants

There are two recent homesteading grant requests made to the Cézembre Land Office including:

Danihel Forestal for https://w3w.co/flimsy.soapy.strategy
and
Breneir Tzaracomprada for https://w3w.co/garble.ambient.slung

The CLO has determined both of these homesteads are properly distanced from other homesteads, and are within the zone Interdite as required by statute.  If there are no objections, then these homesteads will be added to the map and log (current version here). 
If there are objections, these will be discussed by l'Etats and then the grant will be voted upon for approval.

2. TBD pending other requests from seated representatives and/or citizens (none pending currently)

Second call for additional agenda items.  A third call will be placed on 26 January, after which the agenda will be set.

Third and final call for agenda items.  Agenda will be set 27 January and any actions completed by 31 January

Hearing no additions to the January agenda, it is set with just one item. 1. A hearing of any objections to the preliminary grants from the Cézembre Land Office as follows.

Danihel Forestal for https://w3w.co/flimsy.soapy.strategy with coordinates matched in French at https://w3w.co/souper.montrer.houleux

Breneir Tzaracomprada for https://w3w.co/garble.ambient.slung with coordinates matched in French at https://w3w.co/cran.brossant.plancher

Should there be no objections from members of l'Etats then these grants shall proceed to finalization, map placement, and publication of the updated map. 

Any citizen with an objection should contact any of the l'Etats members to bring forth that concern.  Any objections should be raised on or before 30 January such that there would be time within the session for discussion.  The current voting members are myself and

@Ián Tamorán and pending a 2nd representative for 5 FD seats
@Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù LCC
@Glüc da Dhi S.H. P

updated, will next work on squirrel

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on January 20, 2022, 02:12:56 PM
Yeah, I was just coming here to post that after posting it on talossa.net.

Talossan has a completely different grammar than English, one much closer to French. You can't "translate" by replacing individual words with their dictionary equivalents. For example, "celebratar" is the infinitive, "to celebrate"; you need the imperative, "celebratetz".

I know that the current grammar of Talossan might be heavy going for newcomers, but it's easier to read and understand than Ben Madison's grammar from 1996 which I learned out of. Everyone who wants to try to use Talossan should read it first, then ask questions.

Thanks I will adjust the penguin text when I get home this evening.   Tomorrow is Squirrel Appreciation Day 21 January so I could also create a graphic for that and appreciate any help with the translation.

an attempt at translation - can anyone suggest edits?

So as not to conflict with the current or next Cosa session, and to conduct business such as homestead claim confirmations and other items brought forth from the RAK, I hereby call a session of l'Etats de Cézembre for 24-31 January 2022.
