Title: Independence Day Gift from Cézembre - Your Own Homestead
Post by: xpb on December 26, 2020, 10:50:46 AM
In celebration of Independence Day, Boxing Day, and the first day of Kwanzaa in 2020 which focuses on Umoja (Unity), as an Executive Order as Le Sénéchal Cézembre be it known that:

ALL Talossans may select their own 3 meter square (approximately 10x10 feet) area within the Zone Intredite for their homestead or vacation homestead.  Such areas are know by a three word designation within the What3Words system (https://what3words.com/about-us/). 

It is requested of interested Talossans to make a selection prior to Landmark Day (http://wiki.talossa.com/Holidays) which is also Martin Luther King day in the USA, and in 2021 is the day before Remembrance Day in order to be entered into the initial homesteading act.

Procedure:  Visit W3W via this link https://w3w.co/democracies.twigs.escaping which is in the general area north of the Zone Autorisee which runs diagonal from southwest to north east on our fair isle north of this point.  In the lower lefthand portion of the screen you will see a circular control to bring up imagery, and there are typical zoom and pan functions for you to wander around to find a site that is pleasing to you both spatially and in the words that describe it.  Once you have made a selection, copy the link into this thread as a comment.  Claim for any specific 3m^2 area shall be by first posting, however, there are discussions for reciprocal consulates that may take priority.

You may use https://twcc.fr/ to convert W3W into a variety of other coordinate systems.  W3W can be addressed in a variety of languages, and there will be investigation of how to add the French language to the homestead definitions.

An initial homestead act will be entered into discussion with l'Etats de Cézembre beginning the day after Remembrance day to establish procedures for documenting these locations within Cézembre .

Well, if you have served in the armed forces of Talossa you could apply at an earlier age.  Perhaps as a first step you can utilize this thread http://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=474.0 to inquire about an appointment in Els Zuávs da l'Altahál Rexhitál (The Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard)

In the Homestead act, currently proposed:

"That no person who has served, or may hereafter serve, for a period of not less than fourteen days in the army or navy of the Kingdom of Talossa and/or the Kingdom of Cézembre, either regular or volunteer, under the laws thereof, during the existence of an actual war, domestic or foreign, shall be deprived of the benefits of this act on account of not having attained the age of twenty-one years."

Fortunately for us all, to my knowledge, there has only been one military engagment in the history of Talossa, the Cone Wars (http://wiki.talossa.com/Cone_Wars).

However, the statue can be interpreted that if you are a member of the of the Ministry of Defence dedicated to "creating, propagating, and promoting interesting creative and practical work of a Talossan nature." and somewhere on the planet there is a war going on, then you are indeed serving in a time of war.

Now, what war, and in what capacity would you be serving?  As a starting point, you might want to read Who Hates Whom (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/75637/who-hates-whom-by-bob-harris/) authored by a friend of mine, Bob Harris.  Since that may be slightly dated (2007) perhaps a report to the Ministry of Defense on the current state of one of the conflcts would create an updated assessment, along with your ideas and suggestion of how Talossa may, via creating, propagating, and promoting interesting creative and practical work of a Talossan nature, assist in putting an end to that belligerence.   Your service could be a contribution towards the goal of ending or mitigating the effects of some conflict; through education of others about the status, suggestions of mending of ways, promotion of dialog and compromise, or other activities.

Who knows? This might even assist in meeting the requirements of a class such as World History, Geography, Creative Writing, or qualify under volunteer community service requirements.

I have decided upon
https://w3w.co/chunked.corners.laughed
as it is a lovely spot well represented by the three words above the eastern beaches of Zone Autorisée and just a short commute on existing paths to the chambers of l'Etats.  This corresponds to https://w3w.co/élogieuse.mâcheur.aqueduc, which in English is laudatory chewer aqueduct so perhaps by digging I can setup a fine well. 

(https://talossa.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/xpbclaim.jpg)

I advise all to switch from the default map view to aerial imagery when selecting their claim to see the surroundings better. 

This is what it looks like by default - instead select imagery in the lower right corner
(https://talossa.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/xpbclaim2-1600x734.jpg)

The default map seems to not include a lot of Zone Autorisée, typically the beaches - perhaps the tidal effects are such that they are only available a portion of any given day.

Here's an overlay of the two views:

Phase one claims have been posted in http://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=668.msg5451#msg5451
Phase two now will collect claims ongoing until another grant period occurs in l'Etats likely around some other auspicious date.

I would humbly like you to consider
storage.calculates.irksome
or, In French:
patience.verbaux.éditrice
for my homestead.  This is at the joining of several ways into, out of, and within Talossa, and also marks my infuriating nagging and expertise in computing (and writing books).

If we choose also to include any Celtic language, it would be
bwytawyr.llosgiad.maeres
(eaters, incense, mayor)

That looks like an excellent position for a homestead.  I will enter it into the rolls as claim #7 which will be brought into phase 2 fo the Land Office business - these will typically accumulate for awhile until formal presentation of the entire phase to l'Etats, which in turn will affirm that phase of homestead grants.

And you make an excellent suggestion as the system does not yet have Breton that Cymraeg would be a good addition.  In fact, the additional teritiary languages that might be considered for homestead addresses could be all of those that relate to the defined catchment area, including Irish, Scottish, Icelandic, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech, German, Flemish, Dutch, and Finnish (hey wait a minute this could be important)

https://w3w.co/tiedustelu.palatsi.salasanat
or inquiry palace passwords
then using L'Översteir
quirà tpalaþiă eßeră (not sure how to pluralize the latter)

at least that would be one method to move to Talossan, or it could just be direct from the original english to provistă calcülar corvadă (perhaps needing to change the second to a verb form, and create a more precise word for the third)
