WHEREAS Ethan Smith 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 Ethan Smith to the exalted status of the 599th NATURALISED CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF TALOSSA, and of the province of Vuode, 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 1st 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.

As per Lexh.E.7, the Minister of Immigration cannot present a citizenship petition:

QuoteThe Secretary of State shall, on a date of his choosing, but within a period of ten days after receiving a petition from at least two citizens, neither of whom shall be the Minister of Immigration or anyone to whom they have delegated their powers, [...]

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Yesterday at 08:43:08 AMWhy would the 21st be too late, out of curiosity? If the session was held at the same time as on January 11th, it would comfortably still be within the voting deadline.

I figured the deadline was on the 21st, but I wasn't sure about the exact time. For what it's worth, here's a link to a schedule finder thing that I've just created: <clichetz aicì>

The exact time would be 7:30 PM TST / 2:30 AM CET of the following day.

Why would the 21st be too late, out of curiosity? If the session was held at the same time as on January 11th, it would comfortably still be within the voting deadline.

I don't think it's a crime to skip a session in February, but it would be unfortunate to have the Ziu not have an opportunity to debate the Budget face-to-face, since it's supposed to be a pretty consequential affair.

I will likely have other stuff going on for St. Valentine's Day. Someone may have to look at how to host and record the session without relying on my Zoom.

Voting on the February 2026 Clark (the second of the 62nd Cosă) is now open, until the 21st of the month, at 19h30 TST.

You can find the Clark at: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark (database) or at https://wiki.talossa.com/images/8/81/February2026Clark.pdf (pdf)

MCs and Senators can all vote on the new Database using the credentials you have been sent by email: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark/vote

If you wish to vote on Wittenberg, MCs can vote here and Senators can vote here.

If an Informal Joint Session is held, votes cast there will also be counted. As of today, February 14th has been mooted, but no final date and time has been announced.

Idk why this is being done on behalf of someone else but sure.

Done.

Heads up to the Minister that I am ready to move this bill to the CRL as soon as he requests me to.

Done!

I personally have Windows 11 on my laptop, which effectively is my work machine, and Linux Mint on my desktop, which I largely use for gaming. I did run Linux-only for some time until August 2023, when I smashed my old laptop that was running Pop! OS. Since I had to urgently get back to work on the new laptop, I kept Windows 11 (with some debloating tweaks) and never replaced it since, mostly because of laziness and being afraid some work stuff won't run on Linux.

My application server runs Ubuntu Server and my NAS runs TrueNAS (which is either BSD or Debian, idk)


I am considering getting a Macbook at some point to get the most of both worlds on top of the excellent battery life and build quality.

Hi Bråneu!!!

I can only speak Italian and English, though I've taken a short A1.2-level German course last semester, after dabbling with it on and off for years (not counting three years in middle school ages ago), and I've been surprised at how I can actually understand quite a bit of written and spoken stuff now. I'm really hoping there will be an A2.1-level course next semester; can't wait to get back to learning.

If I could learn whatever language I wanted without caring about whether it was particularly useful to me, I'd probably try with Dutch or Portuguese next.

Of course, I consider myself as a Talossan speaker as well, though I was better at it when I was actively developing L'Översteir, just through increased exposure.

Quote from: Françal I. Lux on January 27, 2026, 06:02:08 PMPlease Clark: The Budget for the 62nd Cosa.

This bill cannot be Clarked yet, as it has to lay in the Hopper for ten days first, meaning until January 30th, and then go through the normal CRL approval process.

The call for bills for the February 2026 Clark (the second 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 January 31st 11:59 PM TST, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the European morning of February 1st.

Azul, I am pleased to post for preview a transcript of the January 2026 Informal Joint Session of the Ziu, containing the Terpelaziuns that were asked and the debate on the Clark that took place. A PDF will be generated later to be stored on the Wiki for posterity, as well as potentially creating a Wiki page.
