The Prime Minister's Patriotic Award was first instituted twenty years ago, and it honours those who bring their friends and family into Talossa.  The Award is given to each Talossan citizen who is identified by another citizen as having invited him or her to immigrate to Kingdom, after the date of the institution of the award. At the first award received by a person, a medal is given, with a single bead hung below, and for each additional award, another bead is added to the medal. Different size and coloured beads are used to represent multiple awards.

To put it more simply: recruit someone you know into Talossa, and you will be publicly honoured for the feat.

This programme encourages people to bring in new citizens with whom they already share some common bonds of community, which strengthens our community and creates a network effect.  Some of the most vibrant times in Talossan history have come from these common bonds, and they help encourage our citizens to see each other as real people.

We will be attempting to give this as a physical award, not merely a virtual one, although designs and plans have yet to be finalized.  Such an award could be worn on formal occasions to show your patriotism and strong community bonds.

This endeavour was recommended some time ago by the Royal Commission on Immigration (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4515.msg37844#msg37844), and our revival of the program represents our commitment to a broad approach for a healthier and more active nation.

Post in this thread to identify someone as the person who recruited you.
