The reason I wrote "Talossen Government" is because you can't pretend to be someone you're not.
I will correct the first part of my script later.
I thought it would be an interesting idea to make something like this.
If someone has any ideas or additions for my project, feel free to suggest them here. I'd appreciate that.
How is saying you're from the "Talossan" Government pretending to be something you're not, but saying you're from the "Talossen" Government not doing that?
Also, the TNC dissolved at the end of the current Cosă because it was time for an election. Essentially not running for re-election. The state of the TNC has nothing to do with why an election is happening. The way this is worded seems to imply that one reason we are having an election is because the TNC dissolved, but that's incorrect.

Well, there's a Talossan Government but not a Taloss
en Government.
Regarding what you mentioned at the end, I just suck at writing (Explains why I'm failing German.)

Right but wouldn't both of those statements be just as untrue? An argument could at least be made that you are/were with the Talossan Government.

No worries, I just wanted to clear up any confusion.

That's exactly what I want to avoid.

Well I just need something to put in there and that's my only idea.
Maybe something to this effect:
The incumbent party has dissolved, which means there's going to be a Political Battle Royale to find out which political party will be the new Talossan Top Dog! (Cäps Caciun, if you will.)

It needs to be something in the style of this (https://www.youtube.com/@thejuicemedia) (I'm taking pretty heavy inspiration from them).
Ohhh I see, I've never seen that before so I missed the reference.

I just realised that I have worded it poorly; it's as if I want you to make the script for me or something 😭💀.
My personal favourite lines.

Just so you're aware, a lot of people really dislike the use of "retard" in this sense. I know it's really popular in some corners of the internet, but I've heard it used as a slur too many times not to be repulsed. It might be a good idea to edit that out.

I was wondering about this... in the Talossan language, the suffix -ard means "bad person",ie "agripard", kleptomaniac. We have used this suffix in creating a few Cjovani terms, but it always made me wonder if it derived from "retard". Especially when nowadays you see "tard" being attached to other words, like right wingers calling people "Libtards".

Uhm...for what it is worth, this right winger doesn't believe in calling anyone degrading or derogatory names

I can assure you it doesn't. A much more likely origin is the French
-ard ending which is also used to denote bad people, among other things, and which is also used in English to some extent (e.g.
drunkard).
Well, yeah, you're right. I remember a French book about motorcycle gangs in Quebec called "Les Motards", or something like that. "The bad guys who ride motorcycles"?
Thing is google analytics says "libtard" had a return in 2015-2016, during the first Trump campaign. I think that gave it the R twist that Iason and I thought to be true.

Yeah, I'll probably edit that out, my bad.

I admit I have a massive swearing problem and it's not uncommon for me to disrespect people when they anger or offend me.
I'll try to not swear as much on here as I do in real life.

No worries - anyone can make a mistake!
I'm unusually sensitive to this, maybe? I worked through college at a high-intensity group home for the developmentally disabled, and a lot of things I learned then have never left me.
