I have attempted to make a wiki account and answered the security question (which itself is out of date btw)

It didn't work, any help?

There are really only two pieces of our great nation. The Progressives and the Moderates. Whatever you think about the our honorable members across the political divide, all of their efforts are Progressive in order to keep our country going forward. The Moderates are the other half that has contributed to the structure's longevity over the years. Without this arrangement, our country will be lost, a land with ideas begun but never completed. Without the past to guide us we have no future.

The LCC must now be the party of the moderates, the conservators of our nation.
The moderate voice has been lost of late, with provocateurs on both sides silencing the call for calm, resolution and bridge-building. If you want to be part of this movement, please get in contact.

Talossa must stand tall once more, this involves us all getting involved in rebuilding our nation that has been slowly chipped away at for far too long. That's why I, As Secretary General of the League of centre conservatives, offer you our manifesto for the upcoming elections.

Talossa Standing Tall
Under the next Cosa, Talossa will reach its 42nd anniversary since our founding. The LCC will Endeavour to make a spectacle of this momentous event, for as we all know 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.We will make this year, the year of Talossa. Current plans for events include the launching of Talossa's second satellite to space, Organising trips across our great country (from Atatürk, Cezembre to Vuode),  arranging a Talossan flag be sent to Pengupats as well as many parties (both online and hopefully face to face) and so much more. Pride in our nation and what makes us interesting is what draws people to talossa.

Talossa is a shining beacon.
We are a great nation made up of many wonderful citizens and if we are elected to head the next cosa we want to show our nation to the world. We are what many Micronations have aspired to be and many other nations have followed in our footsteps. I propose we start taking an active role on the world stage including international talks and summits, re-invigorating our international outreach in the form of charitable organizations and donations. Our outreach will pay dividends to our wider reach and will drive up engagement and recruitment.

Immigrate and Flourish
As our Seneschal has noted in a recent address, we seldom get new immigrants to our country who get involved and stay involved in any meaningful way.  This should be priorities #1, #2, and #3 for any government.  Restart the TalossaAssistant program, then appoint a very active citizen as Minister for New Citizen Engagement (with a cooler name) in place of a Minister of Defense or Foreign Minister.  Focus on solving our real problems, rather than fighting an endless culture war.

Use It or Lose It
When few people in the government care about the language, is it any wonder that it seems like an abandoned hobby?  The only way for us to develop familiarity with the language is exposure -- use it and see others use it!  Government announcements should be at least partially in Talossan whenever possible.  Simple phrases should be translated for easy reference and deployed for style and profit.  ¡Cumpetens!

A Talossa You Can Hold In Your Hands.
There can be an overall larger focus on a physical and real Talossa, including a metal seal for the king for putting wax seals on official documents, a physical l'Chronicla, ID cards and citizenship certificates, and making TalossaWare a reality once more with real physical merchandise. Part of what's wrong with Talossa is that it's becoming a generic internet club. Make our country real.

We will restart the process of issuing talossan ID Cards, updating on previous designs. This will include a full citizenship certificate as well as a smaller card that can be home printed.
I also intend to ask his majesty and the college of arms to begin the process of forming an order of knighthoods for those who aid in our charitable outreach programs.

Calm, Cosididered Reform

We, the League of Centre Conservatives, see that support for the "Talossa Shall Choose Its King Amendment" stems not from any magical properties of a term length of seven years, but rather out of general discontent with the current Monarch. Consequently, we also see that the current Monarch is in the process of doing grave damage to the noble institution of the Monarchy, which we believe should, for the most part, continue to exist exactly as it does today. We will endeavour to modify the "Talossa Shall Choose Its King Amendment" to change its focus from the periodic election of a new King to providing a periodic opportunity to have a vote of no confidence in the current King. This will reaffirm the lifetime nature of the Office while making it easier to remove a King who is not performing well in the role.

Talossa must have a king, with all its history, pomp, and circumstance which has made our country great. We must end the turmoil that has made us look inward at internal conflicts and begin rebuilding, starting a new era of our nation where we can stand tall once more. We can reemerge like the groundhog in the spring to the fresh new world that eagerly awaits us.

Dialogue and non-public arguments are necessary to begin the rebuilding of our nation. Under my leadership, I have already begun the process of cross-party discussions with the free democrats' leadership as an attempt to keep an open line of communication between us both so that we can begin to avoid the unpleasantness we have been witnessing over the last few years.

I can think of at least three types of honour that the Queen of England has total or functionally total control over (in one case I am thinking of a now dormant convention, but one that would not depend upon any formal Government approval to resurrect). Given peers have no legislative power in Talossa - or indeed any power - this is much more like the OM in the UK. No need for Governmental mucking about.

What do you think would happen if Her Maj were to give one of those awards to Jeremy Corbyn, without telling Boris in advance? How would Boris and the lads react?

You see my point here. A lot of people only like the King acting "independently" when it cocks a snook at politicians they don't like. Which makes a mockery of the calls for a "non-political" Monarchy. Talossa cannot become the United States or northern Ireland, where the two major political factions spend their time on symbolic actions which are guaranteed to infuriate Those Guys Over There, esp. if it turns into Monarchy vs Parliament. That's how you get Greece 1916 or England 1689. (And if you don't understand why the investiture of the Baron von Tollbooth might be a problem for many people, I'm perfectly happy to explain by PM.)

There are two questions: what the King should be allowed to do, and what the King should do. A King who "does, just because he can" is not helping defend the Monarchy. Quite the opposite.

Welcome to Talossa,
I believe weirdness such as this is kind of what we do?
Throw eggs at someone's house back in the day, a knighthood for you.
Let's cut through some barbwire on an island that could have mines and unexploded audience on it, wow new province.
let's claim part of Antarctica that "no one else wants" (that we and at least 2 other micronations have also claimed), it is now ours, thank you very much.
The king of our nation picks some people who have been active citizens who have worked to better the nation and gives them a title as a reward, I don't see why this is so strange and weird in comparison to everything else we have going on.

I say, give us more!   

I believe you are trying to politicise this as a issue. Peerages have always been given for crazy reasons in talossa and they are given away in micronations all the time. We have the ordered of of the cone for goodness sake, and that was pretty much for thowing eggs at someone's house.
On a micronation level I can go online and pay for a Barronett position for sealand or a lordship in Scotland by buying a meter squardy of a feild.
I think our system of rewards when someone does good works just fine and acts as a filter and if anything stops any random citzan demanding one. I don't think we need more rules.
Also a side note, I think baron Davinescus appointment for being a Regent during the most tumultuous time for the monarchy is perfectly fitting.

Resignhaziun

With the advent of some excellent news, I hereby resign as regent to His Majesty, King John.  I have done my best in His Majesty's service these six months, and I have been honoured by the opportunity.

              —  Sir Alexandreu

Thank you so much sir for your tireless work that has truly maintained our great nation under your leadership and we await in eager anticipation of his majesty return and hopefully a reward suitable to your sterling efforts!

There has been previous discussion https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=740.0 regarding the upcoming election of the Lord Warden.

The previous election https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=354.0 after my temporary appointment (for 1 Clark) was thought to seat you for the forseeable future, yet the Chancery insists that election needs to be conducted yet again after your seating for a single Cosa session.  It would be much more reasonable for the period of service to be adjusted based upon that previous election.

The question which has been posed in various ways is

@Ián Tamorán

Do you wish to remain Lord Warden, the representative of Cézembre to the Senäts of Talossa (which at the current time is a Kingdom)?

I believe the timetable for your declaration of such would need to take place by 14 May as per https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=738.0 to be in sync.

You appear to have been too busy to respond to discussion asked for in https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=737.0 nor any other post in this Cézembre forum since January 18, 2021, nor any other post in any forum since February 16, 2021

Be that as it may, you do need to respond at least within a month from today.

Since it has been determined that by statutes in the Cézembrean Adminstration Guide (CAG) A9 Lord Warden Election Act: "If there is one sole candidate for the position of Lord Warden at the start of the election, no election will be held and the sole candidate will be considered elected to the position."
And as Sénéchal, and not standing for this election (as I had previously when there was an election for Lord Warden), I would thus conduct the non-election (since Lord Warden cannot be appointed as per the Chancery regardless of intention of Cézembre and thus need to be elected in a non-election) should no other person decide to declare within that same timeframe until 14 May.

Should you choose to ignore declaration of intent somewhere in the Cézembre forum by 14 May, and should no other person declare intent to seek the position of Lord Warden somewhere in the Cézembre forum, then that position would be left vacant.

As Sénéchal, I cannot conduct an election for that same position, should it be due in the current election cycle, but I will stand for that position, should an election be required.  There may be others interested in standing for that position.  The question remains as to whether someone will accept appointment as the Conducting Officer as part of the CAG A8: The Sénéchal Elections Act to hold either a non-election election (for one standing candidate), or an actual election (for more than one standing candidate).

Christ, is this you trying to build a consensus? I hear honey attacks more Bees then salt.

Considering we are both in the UK, I may take you up on that xD

Not sure if you have been paying attention... but let's just check this here... I of all people am... yes... aware of that.

However breaking everything into little bits before... let's just check that again... ah yes, didn't work either last time.

Simple conversational. I have tried before but it often was single words.

I don't believe the Taiwan analogy is the the best example of that. Mainland china does not recognise it as a country and refuses dealings often with bodies when they also do dealings with Taiwan. I would defiantly not support any system like that at all.

At minimum it definitely is not a situation to strive for!

As Conservative, I will always try to keep to the status quo, where I can. Secession is a big step and not one to be taken lightly.
We know where this road leads, history will repeat itself and the trauma will be passed to the next generation of citizens. We must end this cycle.

So.
The Change is, what exactly?
Artical 1 will still read " ...and the Regipäts Talossan."

So whomever the king is of talossa, thus will be the king of cazambre as written.

"The King of Cézembre is King John I, until his demise, abdication, or removal from the throne. Should the King at any time renounce or lose his citizenship of Cézembre, that renunciation or loss shall be deemed to imply his abdication of the Throne. Upon the demise, abdication, or removal from the Throne of the King, l'Etats will consider a new candidate." 

Thus as King John were to be removed from the Talossan throne, We as a province must consider and vote I assume on a candidate for the throne. Thus if one were to be chosen as king of Cézembre, they would be our chosen person for the throne of Talossa.

So as far as I read, you wish to add additional steps for cezambre to chose its representative and candidate for the Talossan throne?

It would also grant additional powers to the talossan throne that they may not else where be granted
Section 6

The King may grant titles of nobility and confer awards and decorations.

Am I reading this right?

Because if the above is not correct, your talking of succession? Your also talking to somone who holds the largest number of seats in the l'Etats. And I may not be too happy about that kind of talk?
