@DWombatP ! Welcome to our Kingdom!
As you can see above, we have posted your application on the forum (without your contact information) for other citizens to see. They will ask you questions and you can ask them questions. This is so that you can get to know us and we can get to know you.
After 15 days from your first forum post, if you have proven to be an active and interested prospective citizen, one of the current citizens will petition the Royal Chancery to grant you full citizenship.
Note! It is very important that you are active in discussions on Wittenberg if you want to become a citizen. If you can't see discussions that interest you, feel free to start your own.
Please also see the New Citizens Guide (https://talossa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/New-Citizens-Guide.pdf) and Qet Paßa (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=2911.0) for general information and an activities guide for Talossa.
We are happy to have you in Talossa!
Wishing you all the very best,
þerxh
Azul, Darryl! I too had been aware of Talossa for several years (since circa 2010) prior to applying for citizenship (which I finally did this past September). It is interesting that you have past micronational experience. I have never heard of the Free Union of Autonomous Sasquatchian Nations. It sounds quintessentially Pacific Northwestern. What was the article in which you read about Talossa?

I don't recall the specific source, a friend of mine told me about Talossa back in the 90's
I've been super busy these last couple of weeks, and just looked at the forums. Does the 15 day time frame begin today, or was it ~3 weeks ago?

It starts today! Thanks for your message and, again, a warm welcome from us all. This forum is like a big book where you discover, page after page, a complex but fascinating history for which you can play a part
Politically active you say.. what do you think about our Talossan politic debates ? These play an important part in the life of our Nation, especially during election times.
I'm still trying to learn the system. The wiki is sadly lacking details of how elections work.
Can you answer these questions:
1) Is the Ziu elected using proportional representation?
2) Do voters cast a ballot for a candidate or for a party?
3) Are votes tabulated using first-past-the-post, some form of transferable vote, or something else?

1) The lower house (the Cosa), yes.
2) for a party in the Cosa, for an individual in the Senäts.
3) Cosa votes are tabulated on pure PR over 200 seats, using percentile dice to assign fractional seats. Senäts votes are tabulated using Australian-style ranked choice voting.
