Wittenberg

As the Kingdom investigates (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4988.0) the entities in THIS LIST (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vpj7FD31PbEan0JZXZeXWKION0WpNZG2vdJ6xm7uaKY/edit?usp=sharing)

It occurs to me that Cézembre has the opportunity to exhibit leadership and act as a staging point and precursor to future foreign relationships.

Appointed liaisons (which may include various Talossan citizens not necessarily Cézembreans) would gather data and would have that ability to tie a site within Zone Autorisée to that material as an information office related to the entity in question.  These offices would wax and wane depending on the exchange of communications.

Should there be sufficient progress, then there may be an interim step to create a consulate (legislation for which could be modeled on the Vuode / Cézembre agreement (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3042.msg25020#msg25020))

After a time whilst the parties involved are playing nicely, then a petition could be lodged with the King to foment a diplomatic relationship at the level of the realm.

Does l'Etats support such a concept such that details could be hashed out, both at the provincial and Kingdom level?

Worth saying that it is an interesting idea.

May I assume you voted to Astaenu?  I put the poll above to trigger responses, but I kept it so I don't see who responded.  Thus those who are not of l'Etats could potentially indicate their interest or opposition.

Further discussion about the "why" of this.

In various types of development activity, it is important to have a prototyping environment, sometimes referred to as a "sandbox" to try things out prior to more extensive implementation.  Cézembre has an actual sandy area in Zone Autorisée (including Tamorán Beach (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3375.0)) This MAP (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3375.msg29272#msg29272) shows that area along with Canard Colusseum, either of which could have foreign information offices present, perhaps styled as beach umbrellas which are easily relocated for events such as Talossan Football &/or Opera performances.  This activity would serve as potential engagement to Óifisch Rexhital del Tourismeu dal Insulā da Cézembre (https://wiki.talossa.com/%C3%93ifisch_Rexhital_del_Tourismeu_dal_Insul%C4%81_da_C%C3%A9zembre) especially those entities that may attend the 2027 European MicroCon (https://eu.microcon27.com/) where delegates will be visiting the south coast of France and may be encouraged also to visit the north in Brittany.

I did vote austaneu, I said it was an interesting idea but I also think that we would need to explore it further.

Per

Per, is there any better sandbox indeed ?
now let's see how we could set this up.. may be open the possibility for micro-nations to tie their webpage to their consulate on Cézembre, and a Wittpage to interact with our citizens ?

The sequence I see is
beach umbrella (w URL) - info office guided by liaison
possibly leads to
consulate & consul to Cézembre which in turn
possibly leads to exchange of
embassies or ambassadors

So far it is 3 Per, 1 Astaneu and none against.  Not sure if I can interpret that as accepted by l'Etats as I don't yet have more then 50% Per.

I would like to be able to direct Information Liaisons to establish information offices on Cézembre in Zone Autorisée, similar to how homestead (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=677.0)s can be establised in Zone Interdite.

@þerxh, as Sénéchal de Cézembre and with the discussion and poll above, do you consider that l'Etats approves of Foreign Information Office Beach Umbrellas within Zone Autorisée?

Theoritically we have to wait 6 more days, as voting closes 2026-02-13, 04:10:53 and we only have 3 yes out of 7 members of l'Etats. As potential opponents would have raised their voice already, I agree we can consider your proposal as adopted. I wish a lot of success to the Foreign Information Office Beach Umbrellas !

The proposals for postings still need assent of the Crown, and they need to begin colleting information. If Royal approval is forthcoming we could still await full time for consideration by l'Etats.  If opposition would suddenly emerge, then the information offices could be located elsewhere, or the proposal could be modified and resubmitted.

The crown has accepted 2 postings, thus it would be good to get any feedback from any interested within l'Etats in the next day should they object to beach umbrellas appearing.  I suppose it would be useful to have a sub-board here under the CZ for foreign information offices.

ok it appears there is a plurality without opposition so this is inching forward.
