WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since @Jack Morrison 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, language and culture, and

WHEREAS he has just today reiterated his excitement for 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,

THEREFORE I, Breneir Tzaracomprada, a citizen of good standing of the province of Florencia and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Jack Morrison, as specified by law.

The foreign affairs ministry has arranged possible diplomatic links with other nations, it is a shame that none has come to fruition but we have and continue to work towards this goal.

We have worked with the King on interacting in international groups. Some of which has been previously announced.

I thank the Minister for her reply.

I want to thank and welcome @Tariqzubair Tariq Zubair to the Green Party. It is a great relief to see steady support for the party despite recent antagonism. With our continued growth we are excited to maintain our efforts toward reform, accountable government, and an inclusive and engaged culture that does not solely focus on politics.

We will be releasing our Cosa list once the registration call is sent out from the Chancery.

Hi Luc,

Thank you for once again being so transparent in Chancery operations. I wanted to let you know I just sent a party message for distribution from the Green Party to you at the TalossaChancery gmail account.

Estimat Tùischach, the Royal Talossan Navy has made an announcement about the Talossan Naval Relief Corps on the Wittenberg Facebook group. They've been invited to repost it here, but no luck yet.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the Seneschal for answering for the Defence Minister. On a personal note I am looking forward to helping with the TNRC as it develops.

This enquiry is for the Foreign Affairs minister. @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir

We still have a couple weeks left in October and, of course, it could happen in a later term. But I am disappointed to see no activities from the Foreign Affairs ministry concerning celebrating the BHAID's tenth anniversary. This makes me more relieved that the Green Party led on the matter and more thankful for the cross-party support of the related Sense of the Ziu.

As we near the end of the term, what would the Minister say are the Foreign Affairs ministry's notable achievements over the course of the term?

Mr. Speaker, a quick reminder to Minister @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir that this enquiry is still unanswered.

This enquiry is for the Defence Minister @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN

The Seneschal responded in your stead last month as follows:

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on September 14, 2025, 04:22:16 PMTagging in here on behalf of the Minister of Defence, who seems to be incommunicado and not responding to Government messages. The Discord group of which the Minister spoke in his last response has been actively discussing plans for the end of the Cosa term, but nothing has been formalised yet.

What progress can be reported on end of the Cosa term planning from the Ministry of Defence?

Mr. Speaker, posting a quick reminder for the Defence Minister @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN as this terpelaziun remains outstanding.

Mr. Speaker, this enquiry is now overdue. A quick reminder for @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN that this enquiry is still unanswered.

Quote from: M:sr Pôl dal Nordselvă, D.Div, M.Ed on October 14, 2025, 04:04:10 PMThank you for the question.

In general I believe that the Ministry of Justice has operated as prescribed under law. When opinions or decisions have been necessary they have been forthcoming. I have tried to be transparent to all requests. Some take longer to respond to due to research or checking with other members of government for their opinions. I have read every law and statute that is currently being administered and used for governance. I have also researched any laws or regulations that can be updated or eliminated due to being unnecessary, redundant, or obsolete. I welcome any questions regarding specific laws or statutes.

Thank you for your interest in keeping this government accountable. It us only when citizens are involved that government can operate efficiently and transparently.

My best regards!

Mr. A-X, thank you for this fulsome reply and for your service to the nation over these past few months.

I'm looking forward for volume five.

I hope you will be willing to share a favorite recipe. And thanks for reading.

Volume 4 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine is now available!

The theme of the fourth edition of TBoC is described well by this Virginia Woolf quote:

Quote"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."

Hopefully these dishes can help one dine well. Such that the deliciousness of these recipes as representations of Talossan tastes may be another chord of rich connection in the fabric of Talossan culture.

I want to thank the following contributors:
@Iason Taiwos (the book cover photo is also from Admiral Iason)
@King Txec
@Carteir Montagnhă
@Zilect Uómbat Firă

The recipe book can be accessed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KHPgPXyumMmo8THVpSGg46mzzOn3gfgF/view?usp=sharing
A permanent link to this volume has also been entered into the Library of Talossa along with the other three volumes.

Commentary and/or pictures should you try one of the recipes is welcome in this thread or on the Wittenberg FB post.

Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Foreign Affairs minister. @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir

We still have a couple weeks left in October and, of course, it could happen in a later term. But I am disappointed to see no activities from the Foreign Affairs ministry concerning celebrating the BHAID's tenth anniversary.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on October 13, 2025, 09:13:27 AMMy main takeway is this - while Lex.D.8.5 needs reform, agreeing to simply not use it poses no harm or disadvantage. The purpose of D.8.5 is to ensure a free and fair election by providing all registered parties with the opportunity to contact all (opted-in) citizens, equally and uniformly. That is also the same purpose of the privacy-preserving election-time forwarding service. The D.8.5 list has not been divulged yet, so no party has gained an unfair advantage over the others.

What I propose is the following:

• Party leaders amicably and collectively agree not to request the D.8.5 list, as it would be tantamount to asking the Chancery to break macronational law;
• The Chancery retains its traditional forwarding service, and agrees to expand it so that it is available immediately, under the same restrictions as during election time;
• The incoming Cosă seriously looks at amending the existing D.8.5, so that it is no longer in breach of GDPR protections.

Agreed. I would suggest the amending of D.8.5 be led by the Chancery as the SOS has the power to propose legislation and has already proposed actions represented by the list itself.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on October 12, 2025, 02:26:36 PMEstimat Tuischac'h, the immigration form was rewritten on August 27th.

The Government credits the current boomlet in immigration in part to this minor reform - not only is the new form much easier to navigate, but it has cut down on the use of AI "slop" by removing the trigger word "essay".

I thank the Minister for her reply and hope that this immigration boomlet continues.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on October 12, 2025, 02:48:50 PMEstimat Túischac'h, no measures were deemed necessary, apart from keeping cxhn. del'Encradeir in all our best wishes.

I thank the Minister for the response.
