Just to throw out a first attempt, here is Or, a cat rampant Sable, a point dexter Gules.  The cat is depicted in standard heraldic fashion, with a patterned background of color and metal together.

Yes -- he has applied again twice since this, but I think we can consider this closed, lol.

It's been busy, and obviously we've been very successful so far -- and this is with relatively little promotion, since so much else has been working!

For period: 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026
----
Incomplete: 4
No Wittenberg: 17
No post: 4

'Incomplete' refers to those applications which were not filled out correctly or completely, and which were returned with an explanation. 'No Wittenberg' refers to those applications which were complete, but in which the applicant did not go on to make an account on Wittenberg. 'No post' refers to those applications from the period in which the prospective never made a post and so the process has been terminated.  'In progress' refers to those applications from the period which were complete and in which the applicant is still being considered. 'No petition' refers to those applications which were complete and considered, but for which no petition was received. 'Successful' refers to naturalizations completed.

No, there are no video lessons.

Sign this man up as a philosophy lecturer at the society, immediately!

I guess I'm not sure what you imagine could be happening, beyond what is? You have citizens who haven't been as engaged getting involved, like Iac, you have relatively new citizens getting more involved, like Moinol, and you have brand new citizens jumping in with both feet, like Nolan. I mean, you're so busy that you need two accounts. Things are moving pretty well, and we're on an upward trend.

I will take your suggestion that new citizens be automatically put into the pipeline for other things under consideration, and I thank you for it.

Your question doesn't make any sense. There's a lot of things going on, and we've gotten several new recent active citizens. The government is working on all kinds of stuff, both visibly and non-visibly, to engage with the people and bring new people to us.

If you have some material suggestions, I would be very willing to hear them.

Estimats Membreux del Ziu:

I have some more to share about the Government's current activity.  I know it hasn't been a month since my last update, but unfortunately that's the burden you must bear with active and busy governance.

Pirmeis, MinCult @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC has been preparing for the upcoming language contest that we promised to host, working on the exact parameters, judging, and how we're going to deploy it.  This is obviously in addition to her work as Avocat-Xheneral, where she has sought out a new active Clerk of Corts, to make sure the integrity of our legal system continues.

Doualaiset, I probably don't need to say anything about MinFor @xpb 's excursion to the Whaat?! festival.  I think I speak for the nation when I say we are grateful for his enthusiasm and the astonishing breadth of materials he brought to display.

Petosch, I have been consulting with MinTech @Danihel Txechescu and the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc on a very regular basis as we work to update the wiki, and as they build out the infrastructure to make big improvements to Wittenberg. Additionally, the Secretary of State has been updating the database to allow for official national surveys.  So much of their work is quiet and invisible, but it is nonetheless absolutely vital.

Ocså, MinFin @Françal I. Lux has gotten the budget finished and submitted and will be working on some management responsibilities for his ministry.

Finalmint, I personally was busy with management for my ministries (getting them moving again) and some extra-Talossan stuff over the past couple of weeks, but obviously we had the unveiling of the first official map of the territory, fixed a lot of territory-related issues, and I created a PDF workbook of the first six of my language lessons.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

This past week, obviously I was not very present as it was a very busy week for me. However, the minister of foreign affairs did get me to make a PDF workbook of the first six lessons. Tafi already looked it over and found some mistakes I accidentally introduced when copying everything to my doc. I will add it to the site when I next update it.

There was a cereal quiz?

You became the the Leader of the Opposition because you were "the leader of the party with the most Cosa seats assigned to MCs who voted NON on the last Vote of Confidence," and that will be true until the next Clark or until "the members of the Opposition decide otherwise by majority vote" (Lexh.H.4.3).

You guys don't even know the half of what our wonderful MinFor has been doing for this event -- he's gotten a huge number of accessories and supplies ready.  He even got me to make a physical PDF workbook of our first six language lessons so they could be available at Whaat?!  Well done, XPB!

The Coletx is in receipt of this request.  My apologies for the delay -- I have been busy this past week.  Since both the Rouge Elephant Herald and myself have outstanding applicants, I will be assigning the Foxmouth Pursuivant, @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be , to this task.  I will also assign the Oblivious Auditing Fellow, @Moinul Moin , to assist as he learns the ropes.

-SVA

The Coletx is in receipt of this request, and we are happy to admit a new member.  I echo the joy of the Rouge Elephant Herald at this expansion of our ranks, since we are always in demand.

The Coletx recognizes Moinul Moin as the Oblivious Auditing Fellow, seeing as His Majesty has already assented to such.  Welcome to our new OAF.

Your first task will be to read through and familiarize yourself with our Rules of Heraldry.  We stick to these rules; exceptions are surpassingly rare.

-SVA

Congrats, Nolan!  We are so happy to have you -- let me know if you're interested in helping with the language lessons I've been working on gradually over the past couple of years.

Congrats and welcome!

Oh, of course.  That makes sense, since it's a Sense of the Cosa.

I apologize to my esteemed colleagues in the other chamber for intruding.

As to 63RC01, Sense of the Cosă: Rules of Procedure for In-Person Events, I vote për.
As to 63RZ05, Between-Cosas Limbo (Eliminating) Act, I vote për.
As to 63RZ06, Apologies to Maine and Tuvalu Act, I vote për.
As to 63RZ07, Border Cleanup Act, I vote për.
As to 63RZ08, The Third Talossan Transparency in Government Act, I vote contrâ.  The bill is flawed, since the Scribe is not a member of Government and does not ordinarily have access to Cabinet communications.
As to 63RZ09, Budget for the 63rd Cosă, I vote për.

@Françal I. Lux Now it's eligible to be Clarked.

For approval, tagging the CRL:
