I moved this yesterday but forgot to notify anyone. Heads-up to @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP , @Béneditsch Ardpresteir and @Tric'hard Lenxheir that this one and three other bills need a quick review by tomorrow in order to be Clarked.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on February 25, 2026, 07:04:33 PMI would like to reclark the Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment.

I have Opinions(tm) regarding how best to denote Lex.H.2.1.6.1 reconsideration votes such as this one on the Clark.

If it was up to me, my preferred way to deal with veto overrides and reconsiderations would be to introduce a separate one-liner resolution with the appropriate required majority, so as not to have duplicate bills with the same title and content on the books. However, clearly, this method is not supported by current law.

(EDIT: It should also be said that, in macronational parliaments, switching the author's vote to against is the trigger that makes them eligible to offer a reconsideration resolution - well, a motion technically - in the first place. This is why the law was written to be this way in Talossa as well, except we never made any provision for reconsideration resolutions.)

Precedent varies wildly, from Scribes marking bills as "take one/two" post-facto, to at least one former SoS putting the same bill with the same xxRZyy code in two different Clarks (not confusing at all), to recent practice allowing for a new bill with a new xxRZyy code, containing the old title and content (better, but still redundant).

I will probably just provisionally adopt this recent precedent but postfix "(Override)" and "(Reconsideration)" to the title as appropriate.

The three new citizen MCs have been contacted with database credentials. @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu still needs to reassign 20 seats by tomorrow.

Quote from: Marcüs Causch on February 27, 2026, 05:21:52 AMI'd also like to claim a seat in the Cosa.

So granted.

Further small note for the historians. Since this other small note, which I issued when the Database ticked over 600, I have identified 10 Dandelions who were listed as former adult citizens, and one former Talossan who had been deleted from the rolls outright without reason. Besides, the Database now contains a (hopefully growing) number of new Implinds who are not, and never have been, (underage) citizens of Talossa and should not be counted in related tallies.

As a result, I am removing the N-th citizen counter from the writ, until I replace it with a number that is more meaningful.

For the record, Marcüs is the 544th adult citizen of Talossa and 587th overall, when accounting for 43 former underage citizens (Dandelions), 11 of which are now Implinds.

WHEREAS Marcüs Causch has completed all the legal requirements for admission to the Kingdom of Talossa, and has satisfied the nation and us of his interest in Talossan citizenship (the Best Thing Money Can't Buy), of his intention and desire to participate in our national life, and of his loyalty to the Crown, we are pleased and honoured hereby to admit Marcüs Causch to the exalted status of a NATURALISED CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF TALOSSA, and of the province of Cézembre, with all the rights, privileges, and duties thereunto appertaining.

Done by my hand in the name of King Txec and under his Royal Seal this 27th day of February in the year of the common era 2026, in the second year of the reign of our gracious sovereign King Txec, and of the independence of Talossa the 47th.




Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretar d'Estat / Secretary of State

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since @Marcüs Causch first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS I don't normally issue petitions, because I would be petitioning myself, but

WHEREAS Marcüs seems like the kind of guy we should encourage to stick around, and also

WHEREAS I have a bone to pick with copy-pasted petitions and a point to prove, so

ANYWAY, where was I going with this?,

WHEREAS Marcüs has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, language and culture, and

WHEREAS the above point is proven by, for example, him adopting a Talossan name so early, volunteering to serve as Clerk of Courts, and being pretty active on multiple threads here on Wittenberg, and

WHEREAS Marcüs wants to be a citizen and he'd make a good one, and

WHEREAS see? it took me five minutes to write an original and honest petition!, so

THEREFORE I, Sir Lüc da Schir, a citizen of good standing of the province of Belacostă and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Chancery to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Marcüs Causch, as specified by law.

The call for bills for the March 2026 Clark (the third of the 62nd Cosă) is now open. You may post a link to a bill's Hopper thread underneath in the usual fashion, provided it has passed the Hopper according to Lex.H.2 and you are entitled to Clark bills.

I will accept for Clarking any such bills (except for any that fall foul of H.2.7) that are presented between now and February 28th 11:59 PM TST, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the European morning of March 1st.

The request has been reflected on the Database. You will receive the required credentials for voting before the Clark opens.

All of the above should now be correctly reflected!

Additionally, I've been hard at work at correcting and integrating the official historical record; I will give everyone an update in a more relevant thread later.

20 seats formerly held by Baroness Cjantscheir are now available to the Progressive Alliance for reassignment. @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu

For the record, a few people were in attendance, but no session was held as the Government was completely unrepresented. Better luck next time. We still managed to squeeze in a lively chat so I'm thankful for attendees for showing up.

The time allotted for voting on the Clark has expired.

The Cosă and Senäts have passed the following bills and resolutions, which are sent to His Majesty @King Txec for Royal Assent:

62RZ06 - The Budget for the 62nd Cosă Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 86-31 (63 abstained), by the Senäts 3-2 (2 abstained)

62RZ07 - The Executive Power Reform Act and Amendment
Agreed to by the Cosă 180-0, by the Senäts 7-0

62RZ10 - The Blanking Blank Act Baron Alexandreu Davinescu
Agreed to by the Cosă 157-0 (23 abstained), by the Senäts 7-0

62RZ11 - The Pseudo-Real Cosă Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 90-55 (35 abstained), by the Senäts 4-1 (2 abstained)

62RZ13 - The Relabeling Title H Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 157-0 (23 abstained), by the Senäts 7-0


The Cosă and Senäts disagreed on the following bills:

62RZ08 - The Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment
Rejected by the Cosă 61-95 (24 abstained), agreed to by the Senäts 5-1 (1 abstained)

62RZ09 - Upper House of Review Amendment
Rejected by the Cosă due to missing the required supermajority 94-66 (20 abstained), agreed to by the Senäts 4-3

62RZ12 - Sense of the Ziu: Anticipating the Consequences
Agreed to by the Cosă 78-42 (60 abstained), rejected by the Senäts 0-0 (7 abstained)


The Cosă passed a Vote of Confidence in the incumbent Government 86-31 (63 abstained).


I'm afraid that both Baroness Litz Cjantscheir (MC-PROG) and Andrïeu Cabischabuerg (MC-URL/NC) did not vote for a second time in a row and therefore have forfeited their seats in the Cosă. I would like to extend my heartfelt well-wishes to Baroness Litz and hope to see her back on Wittenberg soon and in full health.

Béneditsch Ardpresteir (Senator-MA) cast his votes a few hours beyond the statutory deadline, but unfortunately that still counts as not voting.




Sir Lüc da Schir, UrB

I'm on it and will contact you back in a few days with the required info.

I'm afraid that, pursuant to Lexh.B.10, this vote was posted a bit more than three hours too late.
