Yes! Fixed.

This concludes my appointments at this time.  Your Majesty, may we have your agreement to this gaggle of worthies?

And for the final Cabinet post, the nominee is a name so weighty with knowledge that no blandishments could ever do him justice.  While he has often stayed out of the day-to-day hubbub, he's another political theorist whose contributions to our civic thought are only outmatched by his linguistic accomplishments.  Indeed, it is to him that we all turn to look for certainty in our language.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Propagandă, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial to the office of Minister of Propaganda, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

Since the tasks of Public Records remain minimal, I will retain them for my own as well, updating Infotecă regularly.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà continuadra Alexandreu Davinescu àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Beric'htårs Püblici, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Alexandreu Davinescu in the office of Minister of Public Records, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

The only other person holding multiple jobs in this Cabinet (aside from me) will be again one of our comrades from the Union of Free Reformists, the extraordinary Miestră Schivă, who has agreed to take on the Culture portfolio and will bring a great deal of expertise in our language to bear on reinvigorating our affairs.  Thank you again to her!

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta Miestră Schivă àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Cúltură, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint Miestră Schivă to the office of Minister of Culture, and I urge her to serve the Organic Law and her King to the best of her abilities.

...but if there were someone else who'd rank with universal acclaim, it would be our vaunted Minister of Technology.  One of those rare Talossan jobs that requires you have some specific domain knowledge, this is a demanding one -- particularly in a term when we're determined to remake the face of Talossa's web presence and bring it more in line with what we need and the country needs.  Thank you to our long-suffering and long-serving Danihel Txechescu, who must surely be approaching some kind of record with this third appointment.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà continuadra Danihel Txechescu àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Tec'hnoloxhà, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Danihel Txechescu in the office of Minister of Technology, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

One of the most universally praised ministers of this past term has been the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we expect that this upcoming term will be no different for the Sir X. Pol Briga.  We are all grateful he has agreed to extend his service, and we look forward to him representing us to the world.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà continuadra Xhorxh Pol Briga àl óifisch del Ministreu dels Afaes Utphätseschti, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Xhorxh Pol Briga in the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

Taking a second position within the Cabinet will be Mic'haglh Autófil, who will also take on the role of Minister of Defence.  We are grateful he has agreed to pull double duty on our behalf in service to the nation, the citizens, the Government, and the Union of Free Reformists.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta Mic'haglh Autófil àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Zefençù, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint Mic'haglh Autófil to the office of Minister of Defence, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

My next nominee is a legend in her own time, whose passion has helped remake Talossan culture during her time within and without the Kingdom.  With a fierce willingness to challenge injustice wherever she finds it, whenever she finds it, she brings this drive and many years of experience to this role.  We are honoured to welcome her to this Government.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta Miestră Schivă àl óifisch del Avocat-Xheneral, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint Miestră Schivă to the office of Attorney-General, and I urge her to serve the Organic Law and her King to the best of her abilities.

My next nominee has had some concerns take him away briefly, but that didn't stop him from discharging his duties to the people.  He is not just a model of probity, but also of kindness and dedication.  All of us should hope for the same.  This past term, he oversaw the budget process.  This year, we believe he will be working with others to realize those dreams that need a few extra bence to happen.  With gratitude, I am glad to have Françal I. Lux still in the saddle.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà continuadra Françal I. Lux àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Finançù, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Françal I. Lux as the office of Minister of Finance, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

Immigration remains a central focus of this Government, although we do not expect to need the wholesale reinvention of the technology that we saw last term.  Instead, the focus will turn to the process itself and any rough points.  We have the data now, and so we're going to use it to keep making things better.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà cointinuadra Alexandreu Davinescu àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Inmigraziun.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty continue Alexandreu Davinescu in the office of Minister of Immigration.

Some pageantry, please!


My nominee for Distain has been a citizen of our country for only four years, but in that time he has risen to become a powerful voice for his beliefs and a tireless advocate for improvement.  He's contributed to our understanding of politics with his co-founding of l'Institüt del Agroïcismeu Political (the Institute for Political Nerdery), and he's one of the leaders of the Union of Free Reformists.  I have no doubt he will be a vigorous and potent servant of the people.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta Mic'haglh Autófil àl óifisch del Distain, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint Mic'haglh Autófil to the office of Distain, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

By the authority granted me by Org.VI.3, I would like to ask His Majesty, the King of Talossa, to appoint some select few to assist with the work of government.  These shall serve in the Cabinet, and I know they will serve with honour.  Many of these individuals have already planned out their goals, while others will have work enough in the days to come.

As I set about this task, I wish to express my gratitude to them for agreeing to serve their fellow citizens.  Our officials serve without pay and without pomp, enduring criticism and tedium for the joy of seeing a vision realized and a trust fulfilled. Thank you, my friends. And thank you to the people of Talossa, for believing in a bright future to come.

                                      Fidéămint,

May it please Your Majesty:

The Secretary of State has concluded a general election of the citizens of the Kingdom of Talossa. We, the undersigned Members of Cosa, command a majority of seats.  As directed by Article VI of the Organic Law, and on behalf of the Cosa of the Kingdom of Talossa, we ask Your Majesty to continue Alexandreu Davinescu as your Seneschal.

                                      Faithfully,


Sir Xhorxh Pol Briga, UrN of the Progressive Alliance
Françal Ian Lux of the Progressive Alliance
John, Duke of Lupul of the Progressive Alliance
Moinol Moin of the Progressive Alliance

joined in coalition with

Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC of the Union of Free Reformists
Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP  of the Union of Free Reformists

On this day in 1981, Dan Lauriéir was sworn in as the first elected Prime Minister in Talossan history. The ballots had been counted the day before, and the winner of our very first democratic election was the Democratic Dandipratic Party, which had campaigned openly on a promise to destroy Talossa and hand it back to the United States.  The electorate numbered six.  The King's party lost.  Lauriéir's premiership lasted thirteen days, and democracy itself was declared dead within two months -- but it came back, and the next time it stayed.


Forty-five years later, a month after another general election, the 63rd Cosa is getting to work.. That's progress, but democracy still isn't something that happens to us. It's something we do.  It's the elections we run, where we work to convince the voters and accept the results of their will.  In modern Talossa, democracy has triumphed over despotism.  Let's celebrate that!


Signed,
Seneschal Alexandreu Davinescu, Baron Davinescu del Vilátx Fréiric

Welcome, Liz!

Whew, I guess I have to update now that we have what are likely the last few applicants of this term.

For period: 1 January 2026 to 1 October 2026
----
Incomplete: 30
No Wittenberg: 106
No post: 54
In progress: 11
No petition: 7
Successful: 13
Total applications: 221

'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.

I'm not sure your tweaked #1 will work, since the Tuischac'h automatically leaves office at the end of the Cosa because the Cosa has been dissolved and there are no more MCs.  The Tuischac'h is the head of the Cosa, after all.  We'd need to write special provisions allowing that the Cosa continues even after its dissolution, but only in the person of the Tuischac'h, but also that they can't exercise any of the powers of the Cosa in their own person except for the ones specifically for their office.

I do agree that #3 is not a good idea... too easily manipulated.  That would essentially just be according any new Government the opportunity to extend their authority an additional month, since a majority can delay the election at will.

I think the solution might be simpler: rely on seniority when there is no elected Tuischac'h.  Whichever MC has been in office the longest should be accorded the privileges of Tuischac'h until one is elected.  In this case, I'm almost certain that would be Miestra, and (if she's conflicted out) MPF second.

Yes, absolutely, and welcome aboard! I will add you to our private forum.
