Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on <strong>Today</strong> at 11:37:37 AMI will take your suggestion that new citizens be automatically put into the pipeline for other things under consideration, and I thank you for it.

Thank you. I offer my assistance should it be desired.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 02:57:21 PMYou became the the Leader of the Opposition because you were "the leader of the party with the most Cosa seats assigned to MCs who voted NON on the last Vote of Confidence," and that will be true until the next Clark or until "the members of the Opposition decide otherwise by majority vote" (Lexh.H.4.3).

Seems like a clear need for updating if this allows for people who have resigned from the Ziu to be designated as LOTO. This is an odd situation (maybe only to the person who is claimed to be LOTO?)

I think I will submit a legislative proposal to the Hopper based on this odd situation. But it will need a sponsor.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on <strong>Today</strong> at 10:38:44 AMYour question doesn't make any sense. There's a lot of things going on, and we've gotten several new recent active citizens. The government is working on all kinds of stuff, both visibly and non-visibly, to engage with the people and bring new people to us.

If you have some material suggestions, I would be very willing to hear them.

I think your response highlights an important issue. I am referring to activity generally in the Kingdom not just government activity which is low despite the branding of minor items as remarkable breakthroughs. The other issue which was mentioned in my statement is that "we can bring new people" yes but can we keep them and encourage their contributions to national activity? How many new citizens have we brought in only for them to go silent?

On the latter point please re-read my statement with open eyes rather than resistance to a concern you expressed when forming the grand coalition. I proposed that TalossAssistants or some other kind of assistance extend their service to new citizens to assist with identifying their interests and connecting them to activities or starting them. There has been no response to this idea.

Where is the Royal Commission which was brought forward in Discord? Where is any mention of the crisis other than to justify the creation of the grand coalition? The crisis continues as it has for years and does not disappear by wish.

Quote from: Crement Itravilatx on October 21, 2026, 08:31:42 PMBrandon has withdrawn his own nomination about ten days ago. When will we receive other nominations for governor?

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir @King Txec
I am respectfully asking for the King to intervene. There is no progress to appoint a governor and our province needs leadership.

We established last term that the nimlet needs to make a formal proposal and vote on the matter to ask the crown to intercede

Without this the crowns hands are tied

But I'll discuss with the king options for when the resolution of the nimlet is passed 

Especially as the nimlet hasn't even tried to nominate a governor on its own.

There are protocols lain out in the florencia constitution that hasn't been followed

I think there was one nomination which was withdrawn so there was some kind of attempt. There has been no further attempt though. I hope the King will be able to work with you on how to move forward and I thank my husband for his urging for action.

If this is the right venue have there been any people indicating an interest in applying for Talossan citizenship?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 12:15:25 AMI've noticed zero discussion of an activity crisis since government formation. No royal commission, etc. We have also seen a rise in new citizens with no real increase in activity. I urge the King and the Government to recommit to addressing the terminal quiet in the country. For new citizens we should consider an extended "shepherd" that helps identify their interests and help directly connect them to ongoing activities or how to start new ones. We might also consider making the Talossan name and coat of Arms as automatic parts of this process (with an opt-out) to encourage Talossanization. We are doing well bringing new people in only for them to go dark only to be contacted during the next election.

If our purpose is to just bring people in as fodder for our politics then that seems to be working well. If we are genuinely interested in growing our culture then there is no much to show for that effort from the Government currently.

This is an urgent call that folks following through on the all-hands on deck approach.

Also weird to see no responses to my concerns above.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 07:29:17 AMYou still legally are the Leader of the Opposition until some other MC votes Non on the VoC, or this Clark ends, whatever occurs earlier - as I detailed in a comment on the MC for the 63rd Cosă post a few days ago.

Someone who is not a member of the Ziu can be Leader of the Opposition? That seems strange. Perhaps the position should be considered vacant.

@Moinul Moin Speaker, can you confirm that the Leader of the Opposition does not need to be a member of parliament?

Oh my gosh, this is very cool. I hope this will be a part of a MinProp post soon.

Also @Sir Lüc Could you remove the Leader of the Opposition tag from my custom title? I'm no longer in the Ziu so don't want any new folks to be confused.

@Crement Itravilatx I don't know if the Nimlet will ever come into true form but, if it does, it might be a good idea for the body to explore this idea once again. Florencia needs to be more than a vote harvest.

If no one will see to its functioning and activity then it needs to be merged. This is really a shame.

@xpb I hope the Ministry will continue this project at some point during this Cosa term.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 23, 2026, 03:32:04 PM@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir Now, as a resident rather than Nimlet member I am concerned that we may not see a gubernatorial appointment without your intervention.

I am starting to wonder whether Florencia qualifies for direct royal administration. The constitutional reform failure and difficulties with appointing executive leadership certainly make it seem so. Either that or the province should be merged. Right now it is just an extra senats seat representing an inactive group.

If we are to expand our military I hope we will also give consideration to expanding our peacebuilding capabilities. Perhaps a version of what Gandhi called a "Shanti Sena." I am not opposed to military institutions but want to encourage us to develop both our defensive and peacebuilding capabilities.

Just saw the sad news of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Rest in peace to the greatest ST captain.

I thought my poor little Shepherds were going to be obliterated by the Vuode Villains but we managed to keep it somewhat close in the first few games of the week.
