Wittenberg / Re: Talossan Radio
Yesterday at 05:28:02 PM
Historically, for audio stuff there's been:
  • RT Radio
  • Beric'ht Auscultaval
  • The Talossan News Project
  • and the once-official Regipäts Televiziun (RTV)

I feel like I'm missing something, though.

I've added you to the rolls as a private.  Any cultural thing you do will earn a promotion to Private Second Class, and then it takes two more to be promoted to Private First Class.  And so on.  Welcome!

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be , I'd still love to get the files for this, when you get a chance.

SKA @Béneditsch Ardpresteir , just wanted to check to make sure this didn't slip away.

Appointment of el Capitan del Altahal

Recently, we had to bid farewell to Sir Ian Plätschisch, el Capitan dels Zuavs del Altahal Rexhital (the captain of the Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard).  As we were making inquiries about which individuals might wish to be promoted to fill the position, His Majesty wrote to offer his efforts.  This act of enthusiasm and patriotism will not surprise anyone, and His Grace is a particularly fitting person to be in charge of our premier cultural force.

Els Zuavs del Altahal Rexhital are dedicated to the recognition of the amazing work of our citizens.  Doing things like designing new cultural artifacts, running a competition, translating something, or most any other cultural achievement becomes a vehicle for promotion to higher ranks in the Zuavs.  A high rank is something that has serious bragging rights, since it shows you've done a great deal to make our little country into a bigger and more vibrant place.  His Grace has done an enormous amount of this, and we are sure that he do a wonderful job recognizing the contributions of others on a monthly basis (with assistance, of course).

Accordingly, as acting Minister of Defense, I hereby appoint @King Txec as el Capitan dels Zuavs del Altahal Rexhital.

If you are interested in joining the Zuavs, please let him know (or post here).

So many polyglots!

The draft has already been published and will be up soon after we have a chance to double check it.

I am the acting Minister for that post. Someone has already been volunteered and I just haven't had a chance to do the appointment yet.

As anyone in the Cabinet can tell you, we were quite careful and insistent to ensure that anyone of questionable character would neither be held forth as a representative in any way, nor given power over anyone in any way.  That's the bright line we've drawn.  I thought I communicated that clearly in the two-sentence policy statement, but either way, this guideline is firmly established now.

"Members of the nobility and knights are ineligible for the award, although any awards earned by such persons before receiving a peerage or knighthood are retained by them."
#11
I don't think that restriction makes sense, so I'm removing it.  We have way too many members of the nobility and knights at this point for that to be feasible.

Under the provisions of El Lexhatx E.4, as no petition for a grant of citizenship has laid before the Secretary of State within the first sixty days of this prospective's examination period: with great regret, the immigration process for the prospective citizen is terminated.

Sure -- the role of information liaison was very carefully designed so that it was not "a position representing their fellow citizens or wielding government authority."  Such a liaison is gathering information, but is specifically not empowered to represent the Kingdom of Talossa and has no power to make any decisions.  There is no current prospect of the Information Liaison for Asgardia being placed in a position of power or serving as a representative of the Kingdom of Talossa.

How is my citizenship application going?
A citizen has petitioned for you, and then the king micked it. So now you just have to sit tight for a little bit and the Secretary of State will send you the citizenship oath. Once you've taken that, you will be certified as a citizen, with all the rights and privileges that confers.

It's great that things have been happily busy for you!

At least one of the recent changes has been reverted, since there's no source.  However, you can cite the current Organic Law as a source to add them back in.

I'm open to some version of this, personally, but I absolutely will not vote for this version.  The very obvious implication is that it's referring to His Majesty as a "strongman," and even though it's reassuring to hear that this is an accident, I'm still not going to vote for it in its current form.
