This is our application for establishing a Talossan Embassy in Ohio. Longstanding Talossan citizen and previous Benitian Maestro Vitxalmour Conductour has recently become owner of a business in our small town, and we are enthusiastic about promoting Talossa within it. We have a Talossan flag ready to hang up in the premises, and are in current talks of printing out Talossan promotional flyers to leave near the cash register. From these efforts, we hope to build a solid Talossan community in our area (and hopefully get some more members involved in our local Cjovani subculture.)

This is incredibly exciting. I think @Bråneu Excelsio is the Foreign Affairs Minister.

I'm more than happy to help with work on the flyer.

My mouth waters at the so far, imagined only with one exception from Senator Iason, recipes Talossans have submitted for Volume 4 of the Book of Cuisine.
Hopefully in the new year the Kingdom will shake off its lethargy.

I've seen a few tumbleweeds but, sadly, no inspiring poetry submissions.

That was the response I expected...
@mximo please let me know if you need to Zoom or Teams. I can assist with posting it remotely.

*If the CRL will allow it, I am posting on behalf of the sponsor @mximo who has indicated a need for assistance in posting.

Whereas, it is a vital national interest to have an election administration authority free of actual or reasonably perceived partisan partiality, and

Whereas, the below-proposed restrictions (as a part of ensuring this interest are modelled after those written by Dama Miestra Schiva in 53RZ2 The Civil Service (Commissioner Abolition) Bill, and

Whereas, this bill would still allow parties to appoint whoever they choose as national party officers but those officers themselves would not be permitted to serve as Secretary of State simultaneously.

Therefore, be it enacted by the Ziu, that El Lexhatx C.5 which currently reads:

Quote5. The Secretary of State shall hold no seat in the Ziu.

Is amended to read as follows:

Quote5. The Secretary of State shall not hold the offices of Seneschal, Distain, Judge of the Uppermost Cort, Monarch, any cabinet portfolio, any leadership office in a political party at the national level, or member of the Ziu.

It has been a year since the last round of the El Pretz 'Per Tomás poetry prize. And Fora Talossa is delighted to be back for the third iteration.

Here is last year's award winner (The Midnight Train) from our nation's poet laureate, @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat


In the words of this contest's founder, Owen Edwards, "El Pretz 'Per Tomás" prize is awarded in honour of all purple-tongued Talossans, most especially the granddaddy of them...it represents the hope that Talossa will continue to seek to understand its past, with its turmoils and tragedies, whilst working for a better, more beautiful future."

Submission Guidelines:

There are no restrictions as to format or length. Merely submit one poem representing what you consider your best work. Submissions can be submitted via Witt PM to Breneir or via email to copebh@gmail.com.

Submission Deadline:

1159PM TST 29 February 2024

Happy new year Talossans,

I wanted to post a quick note to remind you we are accepting submissions for the 4th edition of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.

Very well done. I hope this kind of reporting will serve as a template for other agencies and ministries.

If the CRL allows it then I am happy to help make the post.

@mximo I think this bill is ready for the CRL. It can be submitted as a new thread here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?board=40.0

Correction: I think it has a few more days (ready for CRL on Jan 3)

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio on December 05, 2023, 01:42:27 PMThe group has been formed and there's a general outline, I'm personally working on a work path, while the Brains in the matter have been invited to voice their ideas as well.

I hope in a couple of weeks I can present some advancements to the general public.

I think MPF would agree: we must have something that can survive MPF's being abducted by space-aliens and that can live for decades on-end.

Unfortunately, there have been times where it has been effectively as if MPF has been abducted by aliens...which is why we need to move on from the database now.

It's not fair to MPF or to the Talossa people.

Fellow Talossans, Happy Independence Day from the Royalist People's Party!

No long speech here just a quick note of thanks again to Senator @mximo for taking a stand on a principle important to the RPP. May others be inspired to do the same in the spirit of upholding the rule of law and good government.

As for holiday beverages, we tend toward beer but coffee is a nice non-alcoholic option.

Thank You

Mximo, thank you, meirci, and merci.
I would corral many more languages but it would still be insufficient in expressing my gratitude.
