Recommendation for Membership

Your essay's central thesis is fascinating, not an area I could have spoken to, and sheds light on Diasporic Coping Mechanisms that I had never considered. I can, however, speak to the "absence-guilt", having felt it myself when my grandparents died. My Nana died 4 months before I attained citizenship, and her funeral was the day I left for my gap year, and I was unable to attend. It is heartening to me that this is not just something I feel but indeed is part of cultural and spiritual practice in cultures I am not even familiar with, truly eye and soul soothing to me.
Autoethnography is often a fascinating form of study, and in terms of this society's future work, it offers an accessible yet meaningful alternative to wider academic forms of phenomenology. Our pool of potential participants is relatively small, but it offers greater insight than many quantitative studies can capture.
I do, however, have some Peer Review Feedback.
Although not a failing in writing, I do feel that the ontological or philosophical alignment between the specific drumming tradition and the Bon Odori may not quite be clear. To elevate this past the risk of aesthetic extraction, the paper needs to briefly explain if/how these two traditions share a common understanding of rhythm as a spiritual portal or community anchor. Speaking as a media academic, the drum beat and its representation and use in such applications as horror is often used to represent the heartbeat and the feelings on an automatic level of the characters being portrayed, fast for high tension, slow for despair, etc. There is something primal about this, and I'm sure transcendent across many cultures; I just feel that your essay should attempt to state it outright.

To conclude, I find your paper to be an excellent fit for the society. Your qualitative research methods, somatic studies, and advocacy for a structural shift away from sedentary, silent, and internalised sorrow toward active, expressive, and cross-cultural physical performance is truly inspiring. The Talossan culture as a whole lacks some of our funary traditions, and this could be explored further in future study and an opportunity to look into how we might learn from other cultures, considering the diasporic nature of our nation.

I, therefore, as President of The Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge, Commend to the peers of this society and call upon its members to second my nomination for Crement Itravilatx to join our ranks as Senior Fellow, having offered a paper as their form of lecture and having attained at least a 2-year college degree. What say we?

Hi @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù

Is the voting period for Crement's membership open-ended?

With Limited recent precedent, I thought I would allow 2 weeks?

However the Spotify idea would help get a idea of the music the station would play?

Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on February 24, 2026, 07:55:12 AMWell for clarity, I feel like I do. If we could have some help with funding, I'm happy to proceed, if a group of us are intrested that is, I don't want to have to solo it. Set us up as a group, point me in the direction of any Talossan music we already have, we may want some governmental oversight via MinProp, as well as direct ties to governmental agendas and events.

What is your back of the envelope funding idea?  The original idea of the King was to provide a place for playing of musical hits associated with the kingdom. that could be accomplished with a Spotify or Pandora list. If it's something that's evolving into news and information or other custom content, a more detailed plan would need to be built.  An interim step there might be to associate with an existing public station that has web broadcasting, make requests there for songs, and also place public service announcements that would be read occasionally.  This could prototype any kind of station that the kingdom would eventually enable.

I feel the genral idea was somthing along the lines of a 24 hour music station, with potential for on air and pre recored content.

Somthing like: Folk Friday radio

The Internet radio website appears to be more of a signposting to indervidual streams sites, but it does look like sites are run by companies like https://www.radioking.com/?utm_campaign which lowest is 19 dollars a month which could suit our needs

Thoughts in option 2 and kinda option 1,

I does depend on definitions and legalisams, is it wear the music is being streamed from or what country is hosting the domain that needs the licence, however its my understanding it would be where the music is being played rom that would be the place where licence would apply.

 Key Considerations for Royalty-Free Music:
Definition: This is music where the artists are not registered with major PROs (Performing Rights Organisations) like PPL PRS, allowing you to bypass typical licensing fees.
Usage Rights: While you don't need a public performance licence, you often need a subscription to a specific service (e.g., Background Sounds) that provides the music.
Commercial Use: Ensure the license specifically allows for commercial, public, or online use.
Risk of Mislabeling: Some music platforms may incorrectly label music as "royalty-free," which could cause issues

Not to complain, but some euro-cizts may not be able to access the imager files "content not viewable in your region "

Honestly, if we can avoid any unreasonable out of pocket expences, sure, I'd even be willing to offer up my machine, Synology DS918,+ to host. My expertise is limited in certain areas, mostly domain hosting and website design ext, but in terms of the hardware and software stuff, I think I'm up to the challenge.

I mean it could be less, I only said a doller as a nomanal number

We have been made aware that the RSftAoN doesn't actually have a official email or poi t of contact, would that be possible via this department?

Im happy to try and get in contact with the principality of Sealand

Do we have any... data on even just engagement numbers per captia of citizens on Wittenberg? Just curious

Just as an example

Quote from: Mximo Malt on February 12, 2026, 12:29:30 PMI was thinking of having a block of faith-related programming, would this violate the First Covenant in any way? I think it would since we're establishing this as part of the Government.

If this were a Government project, then the Government would run it.  This would be a private project, and accordingly you could do faith-based programming at your whim (and based on the desires of any collaborators).

However, I'd be happy to contribute in a private fashion just like His Majesty to some kind of joint thing; not religious, of course, but maybe a short weekly show about what the government has been doing or issues of concern.  I mean, a lot of interesting stuff happens... today I informed someone who applied under the name "Adolf Hitler" with the alias "Osama bin Laden" that their application was incomplete, for example.  (Somehow I doubt that the gentleman's application is going to work out.)

Quote from: Mximo Malt on February 12, 2026, 12:29:30 PMAlso, should we have a licence to fund RNT?

I don't think you need any kind of license to do broadcast "radio" over the Internet.

I meant a licence comparable to that of the BBC

Ooooh you mean like a "radio license" for listeners, which contributes offsettign the cost of running? A noval idea the BBC is even considering bringing back radio licences like the TV Lincences. In the BBc case I think thats a terrible idea as they will probably end up finally driving the public away for good from the service.

In our case however having it more like a subscription service of a nominal fee would be helpful. Like say 100 % citzan listership would net us $250 at a dollar a head a month, which is both more than we need and... well practaicly impossible. Bbc has a listernship of about 53% across all radio services, so say off that number thats about $132. Music licences would tend to be charged per year and I guesstimates around that sort of price point so we would only maybe need a dollar form 132 people say to operate?

Im just late night spitballing here

The lump sum option is probably for the best but considering how multi national we are im sure we could find a way to host it at the cheapest way possible, shop around maybe?

It does depend on country of hosting, but tbf, im sure plenty of Pirate radios exist still online, and honestly I doubt it would be easy enough to find out the licencing status of each song... or even if it had been perchance and Owend by the broadcaster

Run it as a music station primarily, and basically just announce that we when we will be either having a on air chat, news ect.
