Ooh, I love it.  Let me look into that and see.

TalossaWiki is one of our country's treasures, with page after page about our history and culture.  It's an organizing tool, the record of our laws, and a key part of Talossan life in the modern era.  But it's been a long time since it looked modern.  In the fourteen years since it was created, most of the essential templates have remained the same as when it was first set up.  But not any more -- finally, we're giving a new modern look to our national wiki!


In addition to the overall layout change, we've also reorganized a little bit, condensing some categories and adding a vital "New to Talossa" section.  Some of the categories never made much sense with how small they were, and this new approach makes way more sense in terms of real priorities.

More importantly, the wiki is now mobile-friendly!  On almost every device now, the layout reflows in order to accommodate the available size.  Each "card" will shift to make room, and the clickable icons are still the right size for most views.


This isn't the last update to our web properties in the works, since soon we'll also be looking at our website and Wittenberg (with the gracious partnership of our Minister of Technology @Danihel Txechescu  and the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc .  Our websites are our public face, folks -- they need to better reflect the amazing wonders to be found within!  Stay tuned for more!

(We also redesigned El List del Seneschal, but that's less interesting.)

Please post your Learner Record or Learner Verifications for the course, which do not require a purchase.  Please see this page for directions on how to do this.

Oh, you want what I just said signed by the other party leaders?  @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be and @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC , you good with signing onto my previous statement?

I'm baffled by what you want at this point.  We would be prepared to consider these two steps as evidence of an attempt at good character, and you would no longer be considered ineligible for public appointments or positions of trust.  You would have demonstrated an effort to "convincingly change your ways."  I will say as much in these very words.

You may think that we're pressuring people to exclude you or something, but we're not -- there's no boycotting effort.  I think that probably people just don't like to deal with you because of your reputation and the way you treat them.  You have been pretty rude to a lot of folks, and it will be a while before you can convince them you're growing as a person.  That's not something we have any control over.  But certainly this would be a good first step for that, too.

As I just said: we would be prepared to consider this as evidence of an attempt at good character, and you would no longer be considered ineligible for public appointments or positions of trust.

Currently, because you have sexually harassed another citizen, you are not considered to be eligible for such positions -- if that's what you mean by "boycott."

You're right, your harassment campaign was a long time ago. It took a year of public pressure before you finally agreed to make a real apology, taking responsibility. Unfortunately, the fact that it took a year of encouragement before the bare minimum of apologizing tended to undercut it. However, you are also right that it is not reasonable to just have this status quo go on forever.

In response to that, we presented you with two things you could do that would demonstrate that you were actually sorry and trying to change: resign from the legislature for one term, and then take a course we selected on how to avoid avoid harassing others and the importance of consent.

You should do these things, not because we are demanding them, but because they would show that you actually are sorry and weren't just forced to it. They would show that you are actually interested in learning.

Your insistence on making a bargain where you agree to do these things and then get something in exchange is gross. However, as already indicated, we would be prepared to consider this as evidence of an attempt at good character, and you would no longer be considered ineligible for public appointments or positions of trust.

However, your behavior has also otherwise been pretty unpleasant. And so we cannot possibly promise that other folks are going to want to associate with you. We have no power to make you likable. Only you have that power.

D:na President @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù , please let us know if we can assist you at all.  We'd be happy to work on things like wiki pages, help supply some graphics or information, or whatever else might be helpful.

I'm not even sure how to answer this!  I've done a lot of things in Talossa over the last twenty years!

For now, I'll just say that I have the honour of serving as the head of the government as Seneschal.

lol... "Non vala non" isch una cosa unfáþil à aprendar.

Anyway, for everyone else:

The map will be changing a bit before publication.  I have switched in all the correctly-accented labels (easy enough) and adjusted that border to follow the onramp (more annoying, but still done).  I have also been fiddling with the spacing, since it seemed too busy with all the infoboxes on the sides.  I think I can scrunch them down without making them seem cramped.

My response answered your question, and I posted it right after your comment.  Please read posts in a thread before responding.

Alternatively, if you have a question you feel didn't get addressed, try sending a private message with a direct inquiry.

Yes, if you nag you will often eventually get a personal response.  But you insist on nagging in public, after short periods of time, over and over.  It's really obnoxious.  You didn't even read my response to see that it answered your question about print size.

Taps the sign.

Still seems a bit hard to read

I heard you, which is why I already stated the intended print size is large.  See above for dimensions.

The nagging is really annoying.

It's like... 3 acres, I think? It's a very tiny amount of land.

On the water tower, M-M law states: B.2. Maritiimi-Maxhestic rightfully claims the Historic Water Tower, but also recognizes Vuode's claim to the water contained within the Tower.

But I know Vuode has not recognized that, and national law trumps on this one, so realistically I think the thing to do is split the tower and then add a note to the places list (which will also be funny).

Updated like ten million times as I fix all the little bits and bobs of naming and borders.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 11, 2026, 09:54:03 AMTafi, I wanted to save you some trouble, so I tried my hand at the diacritics.  I think these are the ones that needed to change: Fiovă, Florenciă, Fluvia Montevudio, Cüfeir, Las Inaltans Maxhestici, Vilatx Freiric, and Dun Cestour?  We don't use that circled I at all or some of the accented Es, right?  I edited my bill to fix the old spellings in other places, too.

Heres the full list of changes:

Flúvia Montevúdio --> Fluviă Montevudio
Cüféir --> Cüfeir
Las Înaltàns Maxhéstici --> Las Inaltans Maxhestici
Florencia --> Florenciă
Sandadia --> Sandadiă
Taglheiria --> Taglheiriă
Zuerieiria --> Zuerieiriă
Ovestia --> Ovestiă
Vilátx Fréiric --> Vilatx Freiric
Dún Cestour --> Dun Cestour
Fiôvâ --> Fiovă

Everything else stays the same.

Okay, I give myself a C+ for my list.  That darn Romanian a!

QuoteAlso, I did some investigation of that border.  There's an onramp that it seems to be following, which is weird.  I think that legally I am more correct, since the tracts were the basis for the law but not the actual law.  If I were to have the map follow the onramp, we'd need to change the law to reflect what are in effect new borders and a change in territory, I think.

Considering that the canton borders were originally defined in terms of census tracts, it would be in the spirit of the law to follow the onramp. If that requires a change to the letter of the law, so be it.

I'm okay with it the way it is, I think.  If we do transfer that territory, then we can handle that then.

The wiki is updated.

EDIT: Also trying to fix the styling up a little bit, but I may have forgotten how to mess with the wiki CSS since I set it up twelve years ago

FURTHER EDIT: Fancier!  I also see a lot of other things I want to improve about the wiki, though.

What is the ultimate goal of Talossa?  That's a great question, and you're going to get a number of different answers (just like you would if you asked what the ultimate goal of the United Kingdom might be).

For myself, I think my ultimate goal is to help create something wonderful that lasts.  Talossa is independent from the whims of any one person, and if you make changes or work in service here, then there's a good chance you can build a legacy that will continue for a long time.  If you're a politician, you can have a big impact on policy decisions and guiding the country -- we're small, so your voice will always be influential.  And finally, I'm here to have fun... it's just fun getting to try new things!
