Please pick a recipient for the BHAID's fundraising campaign. Information on the submissions can be found here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=1866.0

Good afternoon all,

The Bureau for Humanitarian Aid and International Development (BHAID) is currently seeking community suggestions for a fundraising target. As we move towards the holiday season, we are entering a time of year in which the sprit of giving tends to see greater importance, and as a result I would like to come before you now to seek community feedback on a preferred recipient; since ultimately this would be the community's charitable contributions, I believe you should have a say in where your money is going.

I will say that from a personal perspective, it would make the most sense to me to pick some sort of charitable organization in the Milwaukee area, but I am open to your suggestions. I will keep this list updated as more suggestions come in, and by the end of the month will move to having some sort of decision (perhaps by community straw poll, unless a clear choice emerges ahead of time).

Current Suggestions

• Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity
• Campaign for Uyghurs
• World Central Kitchen
• Major Chords for Minors

La C'hronică is the monthly news summary provided by the Ministry of Stuff, for the enlightenment and interest of Talossan citizens and all other interested parties.

Took a moment to expand on my thoughts and positions with respect to systemic reforms (both concerning the monarchy and otherwise), as initially expressed way back in February in the PdR's Statement of Beliefs. See attached.

This thread can be used for any respectful discussion on the topic, regardless of your level of support or opposition to the concept.

As a registered political party, el Parti da Reformaziun hereby requests creation of its own sub-board under "Registered Political Parties".

Mr. Secretary @Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM -- does this entail creation of a private board as well? Looking back over old posts on the idea, I'm not certain whether a private Witt board is included or not.

WHEREAS multiple Talossan provinces are facing a crisis of low activity;

WHEREAS these provinces are experiencing difficulties with local governance due to a scarcity of active citizens;

WHEREAS the Province of Florencia was once part of the territory of the Sovereign Province of Benito;

WHEREAS these two provinces have each developed a history of their own following the secession of Florencia from Benito;

WHEREAS The United Provinces of Vuode and Dandenburg are likewise experiencing administrative dysfunction for want of active citizens;

BELIEVING that the best way to solve this issue would be to merge provinces, allowing the few active citizens within each province to operate effectively within the same government; and,

DESIRING to acknowledge the equal footing these provinces now come together on;

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Sovereign Province of Benito hereby expresses its intent to pursue a merger with the Province of Florencia and The United Provinces of Vuode and Dandenburg, to result in a new province, tentatively referred to herein as Garibaldi. This intent shall empower the Maestro of Benito to negotiate with the Governor of Florencia, the Premier of Vuode, and the Ziu regarding the terms under which the merger is to be proposed.

---

As a note, Vuode is not being thrown in there randomly, but after some discussion with the more active among them that I can find.

WHEREAS the first order of business of each newly elected Assembly must be to elect a Maestro as per Article 14 of the Constitution of Benito; and

WHEREAS this Assembly's term is already into its second month without convening; and

WHEREAS a majority of Assembly seats sitting vacant should not be permitted to completely grind the government of the Province to a halt; and

WHEREAS all non-vacant Assembly seats are currently held by one person,

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Assembly of Benito appoints Mic'haglh Autófil as Maestro of Benito

M. Autófil
Deputy Minister of STUFF for Talossaware

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since @Aleksandr Belkin first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS he has in that time demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, culture, and language, and

WHEREAS he desires citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa, and

WHEREAS by all indications it appears that he would be a loyal and dedicated citizen, and a credit to this nation if he obtains the grant of citizenship he requests, and

THEREFORE I, Mic'haglh Autófil, a citizen in good standing of the Province of Benito and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do by these presents petition the Secretary of State @Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM to issue a grant of citizenship to Aleksandr Belkin, as specified by law.

The certified election results are:

TNC	2
PRESENT	7
PDR	1
FREE DEMOCRATS OF TALOSSA	1
TALOSSAN NATIONAL CONGRESS	1

Votes for PRESENT, are not used for allocating seats, so five votes were cast for seats. There are no apparent issues of interpretation. Therefore, using the Hare-Niemeyer method:

Talossan National Congress: 3 of 5 votes: (3/5) * 11 = 6.6
Free Democrats of Talossa: 1 of 5 votes: (1/5) * 11 = 2.2
Partì da Reformaziun: 1 of 5 votes: (1/5) * 11 = 2.2

That's 6 initial seats for TNC, 2 each for FreeDems and PdR. TNC has the highest remainder (0.6 to the 0.2 of the other parties), so they get the as-yet-unassigned eleventh and final seat.

7 seats for TNC
2 for FreeDems
2 for PdR

I invite party leaders to name their Members of the Assembly. (paging @Breneir Tzaracomprada and @Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM )

give me more things to make countryball comics about people, come on

The Free Democrats of Talossa and el Parti da Reformaziun denounce in the strongest possible terms recent attempts by the leader of the Talossan National Congress to poach members from either of these parties. We attach as evidence a personal message sent by TNC leader Brenéir Tzaracomprada to former PdR MC Caleb Frenibuerg, calling on him to "change the government" by defecting in the upcoming Seneschal election..

We note that Senator Tzaracomprada, prior to the election, also attempted to entice at least one Free Democrat candidate to defect. Doing so before the election might well be considered fair play. But doing so after seats have already been assigned, in an effort to override the results of the election, is an affront to the voters, who chose the party list they supported most based in part on the members contained thereupon. The Cosa is the foundation of Talossan democracy. MCs bolting for other parties before the Cosa has even opened its session would amount to deception of the voters – is this the kind of behavior the TNC wishes to endorse and even encourage?

In addition, vague attempts to lure MCs away with implicit promises of reward are at best borderline unethical. Either negotiate a government in explicit terms or do not. Vagaries offer little to the person whose loyalties you are attempting to steal, but place the risk entirely on them.

This sort of politics has been rare in Talossa for many years – surely we should want to avoid a return to the hyperpartisan atmosphere of the KR1 era.

Shorter this week, but I feel like I have less to write about, if I'm honest. (No Opinion page for you!)

Guest contributors always welcome!

Was thinking about this some today and decided I would see what everyone thinks. Do you consider Talossa to be a unitary or federal state? The way I can see it, there are some arguments in favor of each:

Federal:

• Each province retains an organic right to unilaterally veto any proposed changes to its territory and sovereignty.
• The government of each province is overseen either directly by the Crown or its personal representative in a Cunstaval (compare with each Canadian province having a lieutenant-governor, or each Australian state having a governor, in addition to each country's federal governor-general)
• Provinces are generally autonomous, insofar as they cannot pass any law or adopt any constitutional provision in violation of OrgLaw or other national statute.
• The OrgLaw itself does use the term "federal" on two occasions to refer to the national government, and likewise refers to provinces as "autonomous".

Unitary:

• The provinces that exist at this time ultimately exist as creations of the Ziu, regardless of the amount of power that has been devolved to them since their creation.
• On a similar note, all current provinces were created prior to the adoption of the 1997 Organic Law, a document that itself appears to have constituted a somewhat more unitary state than its successor. It may be surmised that the 1988 Constituziun which preceded the 1997 OrgLaw, and the 1985 OrgLaw that preceded the Constituziun, would indicate a general trend of decentralization in the nature of the Talossan state. As such, provinces at their time of creation would likely have had even less autonomy than they do now. This would cast them as highly-devolved governments, but devolved governments nonetheless.
• Even now, Lex.K.1 subjects any attempt by a province to alter their internal boundaries and subdivisions to Ziu approval.
• In federal systems, sub-unit government is guaranteed constitutionally. The OrgLaw specifically states that in the absence of a provincial constitution, "a Province's Cunstavál shall serve as Military Governor and may exercise all the powers of the provincial government." This hardly sounds like a guarantee of responsible government.
• The fact that the OrgLaw uses terms like "federal" and "autonomous" is not automatically an incontrovertible indication of a federal nature. See also: Korea, Democratic People's Republic of

For my part, I would argue that Talossa was initially a unitary state (a very unitary state in its earliest era! ;) ) that has undergone devolution to the point that it is now "semi-federal" in nature -- more federal than not, yet not completely so.
