Quote from: Crement Itravilatx on September 26, 2026, 07:01:22 PMI wonder if we could use my okonomiyaki recipe as a Talaviachi recipe? If not, I think we should adopt musubi as a cultural food.

Musubi would be a lovely cultural food item! Looks like we will be including two recipes in the Book of Cuisine 😊

Celebrating 19 years of Talossanity today.
I look forward to 19 more.
Viva Talossa!

Hopefully we will be continuing with the Talossan citizenship milestone certificates.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on September 26, 2026, 09:14:10 PMThe Tuischac'h is the head of the Cosa, after all.  We'd need to write special provisions allowing that the Cosa continues even after its dissolution, but only in the person of the Tuischac'h, but also that they can't exercise any of the powers of the Cosa in their own person except for the ones specifically for their office.

+1 on this.
I also think some reform of the Electoral Commission is needed independent of the Tuischac'h issue.
We also need to move beyond the CRL framework. I still support first reading, second reading, etc.

Hello Mr. Secretary, I would like to Clark the following bills:

Sense of the Ziu: In Support of Decoloniality
Sense of the Ziu: When Agents Go Rogue
Sense of the Ziu: Climate Consequences

Quote from: Liz Quiehui on September 25, 2026, 02:07:46 AMDear Sir and Fellow Citizens,

As the weekend approaches, I would like to wish you all a very pleasant, restful, and rejuvenating time ahead. May these days bring peace, comfort, and renewed energy to everyone in our community.

Best regards,
Liz Quiehui

Thank you Liz, I send the same wishes to you as well.

Getting excited over here.
Per tradition, here is a peek at the TBoC Volume 5 cover page.

I have been thinking for some time of efforts to build subcultures as a way to generate unique activity in provinces. This has been inspired particularly by the work of the Cjovani pioneers @Iason Taiwos and @Vitxalmour in Belacosta.

So after consulting with @Crement Itravilatx we have created the seed for a subculture here in Florencia to be known as the Talaviac'hi. Within Japanese culture the Crane or Tsuru symbolizes longevity, peace, and happiness. These seemed like valuable attributes to represent our subculture and our hopes for the province.

We are currently developing our backstory with an eye for Florencian history. Our first project will be a new cultural recipe to be submitted to the Book of Cuisine.

Here is the Talaviac'hi flag thematically based on Japan's flag with colors from the Florencian flag:

More submissions are always welcome.

Confirming receipt of your recipe submission @Liz Quiehui
Thanks so much!

With the increase in submissions we are now looking at a December-January publication window.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 23, 2026, 03:34:49 AM@Moinul Moin would it be possible to use your Chicken Biryani photo as the cover for this edition? I had planned on using Crement's okonomiyaki photo but the Biryani looks tasty.

Yes, You can use it!(It's my pleasure)

Thanks

Felicia nadalca S:reu Flip. Happy heavenly birthday.

@Moinul Moin would it be possible to use your Chicken Biryani photo as the cover for this edition? I had planned on using Crement's okonomiyaki photo but the Biryani looks tasty.

Thank you so much @Moinul !!

I am hoping the answer is zero but I wanted to check. @Sir Lüc Did we lose any citizens to strikeouts after the last election? I figured it was something that needed to wait until after certification.

Have you taken the food photo and intend to show us?

@Tong Mun Kit Check out Post No. 5 for a picture of Crement's okonamiyaki in the Talossan Instafood thread I created here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3623.0
It's fantastic and not too difficult to make.

Quote from: Lee Kinrin on September 20, 2026, 09:46:01 PMHave you tried? Does it taste good？

Yes, Crement's recipe is delicious. If you try it please let me know if you agree.

I think the Senator's stance is reasonable and expressed in good faith and I have expressed gratitude for the current Governor's contributions. We will, however, in just under two weeks face the same issue we encountered in the last term if the boycott against me and potentially expanded to my husband continues.

Quote from: mximo on September 20, 2026, 06:21:44 PM1) My English isn't good enough to write a new constitution.

This is genuinely concerning, Mximo, as the PA has given you the majority of seats. You appear to be admitting an inability to participate in the most pressing challenge facing this Nimlet term. And to be resistant with using the threads that all other House members are using. I think the use of AI or some other kind of translation might be of assistance but we do need the Senator and holder of the majority of seats to be able to participate effectively.

I started a Jewish Talossan group called Chadaray a long time ago. I didn't want to revive an old thread though so am quoting from an important part of the thread in recognition of Yom Kippur.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 10, 2022, 10:22:26 AMThis was spoken by a fictional Black Jewish character but it affected me as soon as I heard it.
Besides being lovely it speaks to the state of the world inside and outside of Talossa.
I hope you will be moved by it too.

Lord God,
we humbly ask that you deliver us safely home.
Carry us now through this crucible of fire,
so we may show the world
that there is a better world.
A world beyond division,
and confusion,
and fear.
Let us discover a world beyond fear.
Amen.

A world beyond division, confusion, and fear. Amen. I really love that prayer set in a fictional world but worthy of work towards making it real.

On this Yom Kippur I publicly, without reservation or qualification, atone for my own actions and words which have caused pain or discord. And seek to set a better path through better actions and words. I ask for grace and forgiveness from those who feel bitterness at encountering me and pledge to give the same.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 06, 2026, 02:57:41 PMI too am happy with how this has turned out. I think I will be gifting mine to Crement and encouraging him to bring in the next family member to Talossanity.

A reminder about this promise. ;)

I am excited for you to have a piece of Talossa you can hold in your hands.

Still accepting recipes for Volume 5 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine. Our last edition featured Cambodian recipes from a new Talossan so I wanted to reach out to newer Talossans now:
