Yeah, I refreshed it.  Thank you for the notice!  If you couldn't see it, no one else probably could, either.

I don't think the side widget is updating and those posts weren't right -- the site needs some maintenance, I think.

Congrats, Moinul!

This prospective has not made a post within a month of their introduction, so per the law, their application process is discontinued.  They are welcome to try again in the future.

Stickied it back up -- glad it's still going!

It's just you.  The February one is on its way, and there was one for January (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=5070.0) and December (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4916.0).

Something we have planned to do is put together an archive of important and useful files like that, for just these sort of amazing initiatives. Obviously, there's been a lot going on right now in terms of government projects, but I might try to bump that one up a little bit and get it set. Have to talk to MinTech some more about best practices.

Some people are uncomfortable not at the workload, which is minimal, but at the level of responsibility.  I think that's perfectly justified.  As an MZ, you help make decisions that chart the future of our country.

Am I allowed to mick petitions?

This citizen is now available for petition... congratulations, @Moinul Moin !

Three years?!  That's a huge commitment.  You should let the person who made the site know -- I bet they'll be impressed!

I'd be happy to explain myself, but I think you know why people like me are reluctant to follow your leadership in the Ziu and other contexts: you sexually harassed another citizen.

I'm not willing to vote against the moral stand you propose for our country, but I feel generally uncomfortable endorsing your perspective on ethical questions.  The safety of our citizens has to be my first priority, and it feels weird pretending that you've never hurt others.  So I'm abstaining.

Early this morning and at the direction of their president, Donald Trump, the United States of America invaded the sovereign territory of the state of Iran and murdered an unknown number of people.  These actions of war were taken without authorization from the United States Congress, a necessary step according to their constitution, and without the authorization of any international entity which might conceivably have provided a legal basis for these crimes.  By all reports, there was no imminent threat.

The Kingdom of Talossa regrets that this is the third time we've been forced to condemn such behavior in as many months, but sadly expects further repetition in which the sovereignty of another country is violated without any legal basis.


Signed,
Alexandreu Davinescu, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan es Baron Davinescu del Vilatx Freiric

As to 62RZ14, The Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment (Reconsideration), I abstain, in keeping with the the Progressive Alliance's agreement with the URL.
As to 62RZ15, The Cunstavál Reform Amendment, I vote per.
As to 62RZ16, BHAID: Humanitarian Assistance to Sudan Resolution, I vote contra.  At the urging of the bill's sponsor, the government has recently appointed someone to make themselves an expert in humanitarian aid and recommend how we should distribute the funds, and I don't want to immediately undermine her.
As to 62RZ17, Party List Priority Act, I vote contra.  There's an error in how this is approached: if someone on a party list is ultimately unable to hold seats, this law would still obligate that they get seats and then strike out.  I recommend another version that cleans up this language.
As to 62RZ18, The Immigration Application Cleanup Act, I vote per.
As to 62RZ19, Zuavs Name Correction Act, I vote per.
As to 62RZ20, Sense of the Ziu: Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence, I abstain.
As to 62RZ21, Sense of the Ziu: Iranian Freedom & Democracy, I abstain.

Well, okay.  That's a long time from now, but I'm game.

I'll put those on my calendar, and on those days I (or my successor, hopefully) will declare a special Day of Observance: 8 Jan 2027 will be a Road Sign Day of Observance, and 12 Feb 2027 will be a Number Plate Day of Observance.  When we get to those days, what would you like me (or my successor) to do to celebrate?

So I'll be happy to declare a day of observance on those days, but they're very far away.  It's going to be a long time waiting for them, and there's no guarantee that I will still be Seneschal.  I can pledge on behalf of the office to celebrate them, but may I suggest just requesting the days and telling me how I might celebrate them for you?  Then I'll announce a Day of Observance for everyone to celebrate on a date that's a lot closer, probably within a few weeks.  Waiting for so many months seems like a hard thing to do!

Any interest in the morning of the 14th instead?

As a reminder, this opportunity is available to anyone who wishes to edit TalossaWiki or our Wikipedia article.  Make 20 edits on TalossaWiki or 5 edits on our Wikipeda article, and I will issue a Prüm Diktat declaring an official Day of Observance of your choice for the entire Kingdom of Talossa.  I will also post a picture of myself celebrating your Day of Observance as best I can, no matter how difficult or silly.  In the past, we've had Days of Observance for "Coffee Day," "Day of the Automobile," "Potato Day," and a day dedicated to a very gross sandwich that Sir Ian gamely tried to create and consume.

I will send you a personal message about exactly how it works with the database and the schedule. It definitely is complicated!

Thank you!
