About Myself:Freedom and respect for others is important to me. I don't have a job yet. I'm interested in languages and politics, and I love gaming, watching YouTube videos (especially stand-up comedy) and listening to music.
Why I am Interested in Becoming a Talossan: I am interested in becoming a Talossan because I find it an interesting country with a very interesting language.

Azul and welcome!
Conversed with Alexander last night and he said "I want to apologise for being inactive. I finished school and relocated to a different country, but I'm still interested in citizenship and I have time to be active on the forum now."
As Alexander is a previous applicant, I believe the usual process for immigration does not get followed here and an Act of the Ziu is required to obtain citizenship.

Welcome back, Alexander.

Welcome back, Alexander.
Thanks!
On my first introduction topic, I got asked the following questions by Alejo Fernández:
'Where to start?
1. I love playing videogames like Mario Kart 8 deluxe and Mario kart double dash. Do you like Mario kart saga?
2. It seems you are a micronations fan. I ever wanted to be a citizen of Aerican Empire but they never but they never answered me. Do you like Talossa?
3. Germany is a good federation country, Is one of my favourute federations of Europe with Switzerland. Do you love Germany?
4. You said that you like learning languages so would you like to learn Talossan? There is a book in amazon!
Azul, and welcome to the kingdom of Talossa I hope you have a pleasant experience in your citizenship acquisition process.'
My answers to your questions:
1. I like Mario Kart. I have 8 for the Wii U, but I haven't played it that much. I still think it's fun, though.
2. Yes, I like Talossa. I also find the origin of the name kinda funny.
3. I do love Germany, although it's not my country. I recently moved back to my country, Denmark, after living there for eight years.
4. I would like to learn some words and phrases, and I find the orthography quite interesting.
¡Graschcias! :)

Do you like Mario kart saga?
Alejo might be the only person I've ever seen refer to the MarioKart series as a saga ;D
PROSPECTIVE CITIZEN'S QUESTIONNAIRE
Q1. Do you have a favorite sports team? Who and why?
Answer: No, I don't. I don't really care about sports in general. Well, the sport I care the most about is rallying (the motorsport), although I don't care who wins.
Q2. What are your favorite hobbies during freetime?
Answer: Learning languages, playing video games, watching YouTube videos, and listening to music.
Q3. Pixar or Marvel?
Answer: Pixar.
Q4. If you had the opportunity to live in the capital city of any sovereign nation, other than Talossa, which would it be and why?
Answer: Damn, that's a hard one for me. As a 'small-town boy', I've always wanted to live in a huge city. I can't choose one, so here's a list of some of them:
- Denmark (Copenhagen) – my favourite place in my home country, I wanna go there for uni;
- Singapore – the multiculturalism and the low crime rate;
- Seoul, Korea – language, culture, fashion, nightlife, and other things (I also crave living in a goshiwon XD);
- Tokyo, Japan – low crime rate, language, culture, history, nightlife, among other reasons.
Q5. How do you cut your sandwiches? Diagonally, not at all, or another shape? Maybe you take off the crust?
Answer: Not at all.
Q6. Do you have a favorite podcast to recommend?
Answer: Yes, it's called Curlingklubben. Unfortunately, it's in Danish, but if you understand the language, you will laugh a lot.
Q7. Apple or Android?
Answer: Android, unless we're talking about tablets.
Q8. What is Talossa's most attractive feature? What brought you here?
Answer: The language and the fact that it's a micronation.
Q9. Which one of the Rocky movies are the best?
Answer: I don't have an opinion because I haven't watched any of them. (I didn't know about them until now, to be honest.)
Q10. Skydiving, or deep-sea exploratory submarine?
Answer: I'm scared of heights and I don't want to jump out of a safe and perfectly well-functioning aeroplane at the edge of the sky, so I'd choose deep-sea exploratory submarine (only if the exploring is done in an area where there aren't squids [they're my irrational fear]).
Q11. What is your favourite movie and why?
Answer: My Neighbour Totoro because it's so cute.
Q12. Do you have a favourite Avenger?
Answer: No, I don't.
Q13. What would be three books, articles, or other such materials that you might recommend to all of Talossa for reading?

Answer: There are many, including: Billie Eilish; Lolo Zouaï; Little Simz; Tyler, The Creator; Luedji Luna; and Joji.
Q15. Are you a reader, a writer, a speaker, or a listener?
Answer: It depends.
Q16. What are your distinct and separate feelings on the colors of green, red, and pink?
Answer: Green: Reminds me of my favourite season, spring. I like it.
Red: Reminds me of a lot of flags. I also like it.
Pink: Reminds me of Pink Guy. Not one of my favourite colours, but I have nothing against it. Also reminds me of strawberry ice cream.
Q17. Do you have a favorite flavor or ice cream? If not, what is a favorite dessert?
Answer: Yes, strawberry.
Q18. How do you feel about jam versus jelly?
Answer: One of them belongs on bread, the other is jelly.
Q19. Do you play any video games in your freetime? Which?
Answer: Yes, but they vary a lot. There's Animal Crossing, Portal, Mirror's Edge, Hitman, The Legend of Zelda, Grand Theft Auto, and many others.
Q20. If you could eat an apple right now, or a pear, which would you rather?
Answer: A pear.

Nice to meet you! And, btw, I've only quoted the questions where we both (almost) have similar answers.
Do check them out!!!
QuoteQ8. What is Talossa's most attractive feature? What brought you here?
Answer: The language and the fact that it's a micronation.
Do you intend to learn the language? Are you aware of the various language learning resources, such as our course on Memrise?

Q13. What would be three books, articles, or other such materials that you might recommend to all of Talossa for reading?
Answer: ... the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa.
When I first became a citizen I read the entirety of the Organic Law and el Lexhatx, though I embarrass myself constantly by forgetting important provisions.

I intend to learn some of the basics since I don't have a lot of time at the moment. I have mostly grasped the orthographic rules by now, though. And yes, I am aware that there's a book on Amazon and now that there's a course on Memrise as well, so
graschcias. :)
Alexander, welcome to Talossa.
You are the first person I have encountered who can refer to a favorite federation. My favorite is Switzerland. I love their directorial executive as a way to accommodate the demands of multicultural polities.
I noticed you referred to My Neighbor Totoro as your favorite movie. What other Miyazaki films do you enjoy? I love Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away but also From Up On Poppy Hill.

I really enjoyed
Ponyo and
Spirited Away as well, but I haven't watched them for several years.
Howl's Moving Castle is a favorite of mine.

The PermSec for immigration has told me that he has been in touch with Alexander and that he still desires the best thing that money can't buy.
I'd just like to remind
@Alexander E.H. Schmidt that a Bill will be going before the Ziu next month to vote on your citizenship application, and that members of the Ziu will take forum activity levels, amongst other factors, into consideration when voting. I'm sure there are reasons that you haven't been around much lately, what with the whole world being kind of goosed, but a few more appearances over the next fortnight would help the Ziu process go nice and smooth.
Alright, thanks for letting me know. :)
Cool Talossan name.
