Completely agree, these are fantastic.

Thank you hun for your support. @Crement Itravilatx

We are a small party but are always okay with getting bigger. We desire a Talossa where politics is a feature not the feature of national culture. And a Talossa where politics is not used to run people out or ostracize but to bring people together.

Agree? Join us and as the American civil rights legend, John Lewis, urged "we will make good trouble together."

• Constitutional amendment vs. constitutional overhaul -- should the current constitution be amended in specific places, or replaced outright?
• Form of the Executive -- should Florencia keep the current method of choosing the provincial executive? Should some alternative -- direct election, collegiate executive, etc. -- be implemented instead? Is legislative confidence necessary, or would some other form of democratic mandate be preferred?
• Form of the Legislature -- is the current "Real Nimlet" method of partisan election still preferred, or would Florencians prefer something like the "citizens' assembly" model used in some other provinces?
• The Legislative Process -- from V-C Tzaracomprada's statement above regarding Article IV, it would appear that amendments to Florencia's legislative process may be worth examining in further detail. I invite him to expand on this point at his leisure.

With thanks to Governor Autofil, I offer my own answers to the agenda items.

-I support a full constitutional overhaul.
-The current structure of the Provincial Executive has in this most recent episode demonstrated its weaknesses. The Governor is aware of my sympathies for a collegial or directorial executive so I would support that. But I would also be in support of a highly limited and purely administrative executive office with the legislature being in nearly all matters supreme.
-I am in complete support of moving towards a citizens assembly model used by other provinces. (And would also recommend the creation of a provincial secretary of state to cover scribery-like, election, and record-keeping duties). This body should review the successes of Fiova and Belacosta. I have done this personally and moved to enact examples here in Talossa.
-If we move toward an overhaul with a limited administrative executive then I think the Article IV reforms may not be necessary.

Checking in. This post was about two weeks ago. Any deliberation is welcome.

Congratulations and welcome, No·ac'h!

Quote from: Marcüs Causch on February 23, 2026, 02:39:31 PMThe Close Encounters of the Third Kind, would never bore me.

Marcus, if you like Close Encounters I hope you plan to check out Spielberg's next alien flick, Disclosure Day. Comes out in June in North America, not sure if release delayed internationally.

I watched Project Hail Mary over the weekend and it was good. Was faithful to the book, with a couple of notable departures (both for the purpose of humor.)

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on March 09, 2026, 02:51:48 PMI am delighted to announce that with the assistance of an international volunteering grant from the German Mennonite Peace Committee I will be travelling to Palestine (Al-Khalil/Hebron) later this year. I will be participating with human rights workers from Community Peacemaker Teams (CPT) and this will be my first human rights/peacebuilding mission since Colombia in 2019. I am beyond grateful and appreciative of this opportunity to participate in peaceful resistance to occupation.

For Talossa, this will mean that I will be taping some segment to show what the Occupation looks like on the ground.

I can now confirm I will be in Al-Khalil/Hebron in October. I suspect this means then that the special will likely air sometime between mid-November to mid-December depending on how much time I need to put everything together.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on March 18, 2026, 10:49:18 AM@Sir Lüc Pluribus is good but some folks have complained about it being slow. I confess that I found myself liking the Joined.

I am currently planning to watch the new seasons of Paradise, For All Mankind, and need to restart watching Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

Saddened to report that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has been canceled after its next season.

I feel bad about this. There's so much hate for the show I personally don't get it.

The haters seem to have misinterpreted Star Trek as it has always been "woke.' Shatner's response detailing the reaction (in the US South) to one of the first interracial kisses was perfect. I would like to introduce them to the Vulcan term, IDIC or infinite diversity in infinite combinations. Any program that is six decades old needs the ability to boldly explore creative expression.

QuoteThe convention also expresses its regret that the Progressive Alliance have seemingly decided that sexual harassers can get away with it if they just act shameless for long enough; and also expresses its sincere sympathy to Crement Itravilatx for, you know, everything.

@Iason Taiwos It got deleted by the URL leader but I'll post it here. As a URL senator do you support this kind of behavior? Using a family member in political attacks.

With news of the April recess, Talossa's premier news channel announces that it has made some programming changes. For the April edition of its flagship political program, Abbavilla Digest, we are pleased to announce a special edition interview with new Talossan, @Moinul Moin.

The discussion will cover the recent remarkable political changes in Bangladesh from the perspective of a Bangladeshi-Talossan. Sincere gratitude to S:reu Moin for speaking to the Digest!

Broosking.

The last incident of major party broosking occurred with posts made by Senator GV. We now have an announcement of an unnamed PA member broosking an applicant citizen. We will cover this in the upcoming third episode of the Abbavilla Digest.

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on March 22, 2026, 01:28:29 PMToday, Propaganda has published links to the second 2026 edition of the independent media "Abbavilla Digest", on X/Twitter, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Instagram and r/Micronations

Huzzah! Merci Tgerxh!

Not much of a debate so far unfortunately.

You have just inspired me to make some dirty rice....

Tric'hard you may have just unintentionally reduced future citizenship petitions to one simple sentence. I know that's what I'll be doing moving forward.

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on March 21, 2026, 02:38:42 PMI gave this topic some more consideration, and decided fried chicken is actually my most beloved food.

An excellent choice, Iason. Do you have a favorite restaurant? I am partial to a place in the Louisville area called Indi's.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 21, 2026, 10:18:04 PMHas anyone been in contact with @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù regarding her request for assistance on an official email for the Royal Society? The response may have been delivered privately or this is not the right department but wanted to be sure.

Celebrating one month since this post. @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù was this request fulfilled or did you drop it?
