I have always been fascinated with flags but probably not smart enough to be involved in academic study of flags...I am probably the only person in the world who would go on a cruise and come home with photos of the flags of each country we visited LOL

I prefer the current governmental setup with both a senat and cosa, I do however support a fixed election date, I have never really understood why our elections move around, it makes it quite confusing. A yearly election makes much more sense to me.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on October 07, 2024, 02:00:01 PMAs you pointed out earlier Talossan already has tens of thousands of words, more than enough to have saying, colloquialisms and proverbs. Though their development depends on the language being used extensively, which so far has not been the case (the only person right now to do that is Iac), so ideally we would want a campaign to encourage citizens to learn and use the language instead.

KR1 apparently made up a whole heap of proverbs but of course only he ever used them. But as to learning and using, that goes back to the Culture Ministry's top priority, which unfortunately seems to have gone onto the "too hard" basket. However, the responses to this thread show that the repressed demand is there. We just need "prüms päçen", to coin a phrase.

None of them are on my keyboard I have to use alt characters

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 07, 2024, 10:44:19 AMI think they work together then. More words provide more opportunities for sayings, colloquialisms, and proverbs to be developed naturally.

How about lessons on how to type out some of these characters in Talossan?

PER! PER! PER!

I shall give it a try

BUILD THE WALL!!! That is basically what I see in this bill. We want immigration but only smart people who have lots of time on their hands.

We now have 7 teams I would love at least one more!

We are up to 6 teams. If it makes everyone feel better, I will be depending on the computer to draft my team as well LOL I didn't check the schedule for my hometown junior hockey team which I have season tickets for and the first game I can attend is...you guessed it...tonight LOL

Just one day left to join up! Still have room for up to 7 teams (more if necessary I just need to change some things) hope to get at least a couple more. No real knowledge is necessary!!! Come on, I joined TCAT and I know absolutely nothing about cycling!

We are up to 5 teams, room for 7 more!!!

I will also note that while I am worried that this will hurt the immigration rate, I don't think anyone but people with quite significant disabilities or who speak English as a second language are likely to be put off by this... I think even with this new restriction, you'd have been welcomed to Talossa.

I think you are wrong. I would not even know where to begin in writing an essay.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on September 22, 2024, 08:54:15 PMSo what you are saying is that only prospective citizens who are intelligent enough to write an essay are capable of becoming useful active citizens?

No

That is exactly what I see in this proposal. You MUST write an essay basically to show how intelligent you are to be considered for citizenship. I for one could not write an essay that would be accepted by the academic elites and intelligence police on this website to save my life. If it were to be instituted retroactively I would immediately lose my citizenship. Not everyone is capable of hashing out an intelligent sounding essay in english, or even in their own home language. I like to think I have been somewhat active and involved, I know I am not intelligent enough to hold any office higher than that which I hold now (senator). I turned down the opportunity to hold cabinet level positions because I knew I couldn't do the job. That does not mean I am not capable of being involved. A nation (even a micronation) needs citizens, not all of them need to be highly intelligent members of the government or judges in the cort. I feel that this proposal will lead to a MASSIVE drop off in applications for citizenship and likely lead to a majority of applications being rejected.
