I've been thinking, we need a new TalossaWare store. As many of you know, t-shirts and other items with Talossan designs on them have been available thru my TeePublic store, https://www.teepublic.com/user/cjovani-nation, but this store mainly consists of dumb stuff Vitxalmour Conductour and I came up with for our own purposes. (Nobody besides me would wear the Taiwos the Barbarian shirt!) Here are some of my thoughts...
Create a new store, devoted to Talossan stuff only.
Use the highest resolution images we can get for the merch. (I'm working from a phone. I've had to use an app to blow up images so they'll be big enough for TeePublic to use, but they become...grainy? the larger you get. Somebody with a real computer could probably make the images look better when enlarged.)
Find a website better than TeePublic? I've ordered a few items from them. Quality is acceptable, but as a customer, shipping costs are ridiculous. They ship everything in a cheap plastic bag, and charge entirely too much for it.
Have a way for earnings from the store to go directly to the Burgermeister, or whoever it is that handles Talossan funds. My store, the money comes to me. I know I said that any funds I made from Talossan merch sales would be given to Talossa; thankfully, none of the Talossan items have ever sold, so I haven't had to figure out how to do that.
Make it legit, so we could promote the store on our official Talossan websites.
I still think we should have things like certificates of citizenship, or advertise the ID cards. Have a source for producing Talossan flags.
Lastly, maybe find a print on demand thing for the Guizua? (With Hool's permission, and the profits going to him.)
Just some thoughts. What are yours?
I love the idea of that! As for the Guiza, it is or at least was available on Amazon and I presume royalties go to Hooligan. It's outdated though so I'm not sure if we have a newer version somewhere.

@Barclamïu da Miéletz is the Deputy Minister of STUFF in charge of Talossaware, so I encourage him to pay attention to this and co-ordiante with
@Iason Taiwos.
I am also not in favour of reprinting an out of date textbook, but maybe the Ladintsch Naziunal
@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP has some ideas here?
It's a reminder that I 1) need to finish the Recomendăs, and then 2) need to write a more approachable version of it that can serve as a proper successor to the Guizua.
In the meantime, I'm not sure...
My dad recently got a plotter and a press since he's starting his own business of selling stuff like customised t-shrits, etc. I could design some Talossan stuff and have my dad print it out.
