The fact that this bill was submitted at all is representative of a problem that has plagued Talossa for years; that no one feels like they are allowed to do anything unless they are specifically authorized to do so by law.

President Rôibeardescù, take it to heart that you have authority to act for the King in regard to the Royal Society insofar as it does not contradict Organic or statute law. If you want to increase your educational activities, you are free to do so. If you want to ask His Majesty's government a question on behalf of the Society, you are free to do so (I suppose they wouldn't be obliged to answer although, at least in the current climate, I see no reason why they wouldn't).

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 26, 2026, 05:49:25 PMI know that we keep citizenship eligibility at 14 for historical reasons but we should consider a minimum age limit for being an MZ. I would suggest 18 or 21 (if this does not run afoul of the OrgLaw). If we are serious about making  structural improvements to the Ziu then it might be worth considering whether 14 or 16 is generally just too young to effectively participate in national decision-making.

ADDED: I mean no offense to our youngest citizens but wanted to broach the topic.

In my humble opinion, this would be terrible.

I totally get why we might not want to have minors here at all (even though it would be unfortunate given our founding), but assuming they are here, why would we not want them to participate in the thing most people find the most interesting? The stakes of "national decision making" are, all things considered, much to low to allow for that.

First, thanks for responding Ian.

I actually do support a higher minimum age for citizenship, I do suspect though, for some, it is a non-starter. But there are other ways for our youngest citizens to be involved...political parties could still accept them as members, etc. Honestly, the proposal comes from observing recent events as I think the actions of a few of our younger members of national politics have been motivated by immaturity. A period for participation as an observer for those between the ages of 14 and 16 or 18 would allow for some learning and maturation before entry into the nation's parliament. I do not think it is a good idea to throw 14 years (especially) into a nation's political fray as soon as they are citizens.

The argument to keep them out of Talossan politics for a bit "for their own good" is one I might be sympathetic to, but while we're doing things for our own good, I have some bad news for most of Talossa's adult politicians...

Good to hear from you!
