Seeing it has been many months of collecting recipes this will be the final call. Anyone interested in participating in Volume 4 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine please send them via PM here or to copebh@gmail.com.

Also accepting submissions via Facebook.

Thanks to Iason, Zilect Fira, and King Txec for their submissions.

Greetings Senator, and welcome! Glad you made it in.

I have spoken frequently and loudly of my concerns, and I am glad we are working to fix them.  The immigration rate has dropped by a full 50% since the last government, which is disastrous.  I hope we can come up with some recommendations.

Thank you. @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu , please share your opening thoughts.

Your Majesty, thank you for the opportunity to discuss the matter of Immigration.

I am thinking back as to how I became a citizen nearly two decades ago.  The initial connection was via the game of Diplomacy and how I met some Talossans that were involved in that hobby.  In fact in a couple of weeks I will be face to face with some of those same citizens at the ARMADA Regatta.  One might argue that competition is akin to short term role playing, and my son has defined my involvement in Talossa as a similar adventure in long form.

Certainly there are many outstanding citizens of Talossa that stumbled upon our fair realm via a mention in a news story or through random surfing.  However, there may be opportunities amongst the life connections of all citizens to create a niche of special interest groups within our lands as a mutual benefit for both Talossa and those SIGs.

I yield the floor.

Azul Senator Blahaj! Nice to see more people and micronations looking for relations with Talossa

Notice: I am NOT a diplomat nor have the competence to be one.

Now that we've established our norms, let us proceed to opening statements. We will do this in order of seniority, which means that Sir X. Pol Briga (@xpb) is invited to share his opening thoughts first. I should state I intend to run the commission based on Robert's Rules of Order.

Sir Pol, you have the floor.

Hello, We currently operate a Twitter account, we also have a website however it is a little... low quality and a fair bit outdated, most info on New Solace can be found on our MicroWiki page.

Azul Senator,

It is wonderful to make your acquaintance.

Does your Republic have a website or other online presence? I'd like to take a look at it if so.

I hope to interact with you more and I hope my Minister of Foreign Affairs pops in as well.

Regards,

Quote from: mpf on July 09, 2025, 06:30:44 AMI personally think that Senats candidates should be selected as follows, if there is more than one candidate:

50% of the vote is by members of the party within the province, and 50% of the vote is from members outside of the province.

Senators represent a province, sure, but they are also important safeguards for the Cosa.

Let's say that there are 3 members of the party in the province, and two of them are in a sort of fringe sub-branch. They propose one of them, while the party backs another.

They would get 2/3 in the province, which is 67%, but the rest of the party all vote for the other member (who has 1/3).

2/3 + 0   = 33.5% of the total vote
1/3 + 100 = 66.5% of the total vote.

The province still has a say, they are 50% of the vote, but that way, the party can make sure that the backed senate candidates trully represent the party.

Are you interested in presenting this as an amendment before we adopt the merger constitution? Because if so, the PdR convention will have to adopt it as well. Or: we could adopt the constitution as is and you could propose the amendment to the new party's convention.

BTW, name changed to adopt proper Talossan translation
