WHEREAS the position of Distain (in english "Deputy Prime Minister") is an extremely active position in the government, taking action for the Prime Minister in any number of the various cabinet ministries, and assisting the various ministers in completion of assigned projects.

WHEREAS the badge for the position of Distain is a very nice one, but gives some ideas for other ones


THEREFORE I , þerxh Sant-Enogat, Seneschal of the Kingdom of Talossa, issue the following Prime Dictate under the provisions of Organic Law VI.4:

The position of TRISTAIN is hereby created (in English "Deputy Deputy Prime Minister"), with the mission to assist the DISTAIN in every action he will undertake

The badge for the Tristain position is designed as followed: a hand, palm fronting, with three fingers raised, on a green field over a red field disc



Important precision: even if it may seem logical, the position of SENESCHAL is not – I repeat, is not - renamed STAIN, and the related badge for the position is not updated to figure a hand, palm fronting, with one finger raised.

The official motto for the Tristain office is "El qi me crea isch ûn calucjeu del Avrïu"

Nice April Fools joke!

It would only have been funnier if the new Cabinet position had been called "The Shocker" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocker_(gesture))

I second this.

From time to time I find myself thinking of this joke.

I'm waiting for the follow-up, where the badge of the new position has four fingers raised.

For the obvious reason, the holder of the new position would have to post in four-line rhymed stanzas.

As a Talossan cabinet position, of course the obligatory rhyme scheme for the stanzas would be ABBA, for a slightly more obscure reason.
