I'm very pleased to come in second place in a sport I barely understand!

For what is worth, the Senate has its own provisions for determining questions of eligibility such as this one, and I'm not interested in keeping seats vacant rather than moving on with our jobs either. If no info from the Treasury is forthcoming in the next few days, I will just rely on each of you's honour and let the Senate determine by itself if everything is in order.

I believe it is possible that @xpb might be out. He told me he'd be having knee surgery sometime this month.

Quote from: xpb on September 02, 2026, 10:51:49 PMBest wishes on your procedure!  I met with my surgeon today and she will replace my left knee on September 18th so I will rehabilitate in tandem with you.

I hope it goes well. I had my hip replaced about 20 years ago. My shoulder is rotator cuff repair from my high school years on the swim team. Now that I'm 54 the damage is pretty bad. Ick.

Azul,

I am undergoing shoulder surgery in the morning so I will not be active for a few days. I don't anticipate I will be needed as of yet, so soon after the election, so I've decided not to appoint a regent. I expect I will be able to get back to work in plenty of time before my new government is formed.

Thanks

I am so pleased and overjoyed to hear an update on the dear Baroness!

It is with deepest condolences and solidarity with the People of Nepal and Tibet as well as surrounding countries that We issue this Royal Proclamation as those countries deal with the horrific events now unfolding in the region.

Today Talossa stands with our friends in Nepal and Tibet as they navigate this challenging time, and we acknowledge all the relief workers and nations of the world flowing resources into the region to assist in this tragedy.

We further call upon our BHAID to investigate how the People of Talossa can alleviate, in at least some small part, the suffering now unfolding.

Given under Our hand Royal at the city of Riverside this twenty-eighth day of August, in the year of salvation 2026, of the independence of Talossa the forty-seventh, and of Our reign the second.

It is with deepest condolences and solidarity with the People of Norway that We issue this Royal Proclamation Honoring the life of His Late Majesty King Harald V and welcome His Majesty King Haakon VIII as he ascends at this sad time for Norway.

Today Talossa stands with our friends in Norway as they navigate this challenging time, knowing they will rise to their full greatness and with time embrace the new reality of their ancient Kingdom.

Given under Our hand Royal at the city of Riverside this twenty-eighth day of August, in the year of salvation 2026, of the independence of Talossa the forty-seventh, and of Our reign the second.

Congratulations and welcome officially to Talossa.

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on August 25, 2026, 05:26:32 PMI think we should make it January 19th, her birthday. Dolly Parton entering the world was a better event than her departing it.

I agree and I've made the change.

-Txec R

She was probably my favorite singer of all time and her joy and music will never be replicated.

Proclamation of Mourning in Honour of Dolly Parton

The Government of the Kingdom of Talossa notes with sorrow the passing of Dolly Rebecca Parton, who died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on the 25th of August, 2026, at the age of eighty. While the world will rightly remember her as one of the great voices of American music, it is for her works of generosity and compassion that we particularly remember her.

Dolly Parton understood, from the poverty of her own childhood, that dignity is not a luxury. Inspired by a father she loved who never learned to read, she built the Imagination Library -- now the largest early childhood book-gifting program in the world, with more than 300 million free books delivered to children across five countries (including my own). Through her Dollywood Foundation, she reduced her home county's high school dropout rate from thirty-five percent to six, funded children's hospitals, and created thousands of jobs in a region that badly needed them. When wildfires struck the Great Smoky Mountains in 2016, she raised over twelve million dollars for displaced families. When the COVID-19 pandemic threatened the world, her million-dollar donation to Vanderbilt University helped fund the early research behind the Moderna vaccine -- and then she rolled up her rhinestone sleeve on camera to get the shot, because she knew her people trusted her more than they trusted a press release.

The Kingdom of Talossa extends its deepest sympathies to the Parton family and to the countless communities she lifted. Her legacy is not measured in platinum records, but in children who learned to read, in families who kept their homes, and in lives that were saved because one woman from the hills of Tennessee decided that she could help. May she rest in peace.

I would like to countersign this proclamation. I had the great pleasure of seeing Dolly in concert some years back at the Hollywood Bowl. My heart aches at the loss but it also feels great joy when thinking of all that she did for the world and her love for life, music, and her fellow humans.

(Baron you beat me to this as I was going to post my own proclamation when I had a few moment!)

I would as King like to take this one step further and declare that henceforth, January 19 shall be known as Dolly Parton Day.

As a matter of public record, I have voted on the database with a vote of present, as is tradition. The Queen has also voted.

Best of luck to all the candidates and I look forward to working with whomever is chosen to lead my next government.

That's odd. I've uploaded it to the Chancery's Drive account: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1njogxDYEmTnZZ0gaOgMFqDoyxZ23ZEhJ/view?usp=sharing

I was able to access it with no problems, and by the way, it looked great!

The Queen is not very active on Wittenberg so she would not be a great steward. She keeps updated by my constant conversation about the kingdom :-)
