Yeah, I think it'd be a good idea to alter the link so it doesn't link, even if the text stays the same.

Nowhere I stay permanently. I just have an Ohio driver's license.

My current location of residence is within the boundaries of our Big Brother's state of Ohio, which, as far as I can tell, is within the catchment area of the Province of Belacostă.

I think I'd like to make that state of affairs official.

I resign as governor.

You two are perfect for each other.

Apologies for the delay on this.

The XXIVth Nimlet is open.

Under article III section 5, it appears this Nimlet will have 9 seats. 9 Florencian ballots were cast for parties this election, of which 7 were cast for parties that are currently extant, plus a seat for Senator @mximo and a seat for the Governor, who I guess is still me.

The distribution is as follows:
6 seats for the Progressive Alliance
1 seat for the Green Party

The leaders of those parties, @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu and @Breneir Tzaracomprada, are called to nominate residents to hold these seats.

Governadeir da Florenciă

Ah, right, on it

Another way is to just have everyone who would be running individually be on the same pseudo-party slate, with a maximum number of seats per person, totaling to a contextually-appropriate number, and the rest going unfilled. I'll even pay that pseudo-party's fee.

Welp, I guess this idea's already dead.

The idea isn't so much strengthening individuals as it is to get new parties without pre-existing rivalries to join the Cosă, while giving the existing parties a chance to cool off and take a break from each other, if you like. That last bit is covered by excluding current members of existing political parties from forming or joining new parties.

So, it seems to me that Talossan politics is pretty fractured. The two main parties hate each other enough that one of them nearly formed a government with and gave a cabinet position to an antidemocrat.

These two parties won't be able to form a majority without some kind of reconciliation, which neither seems willing to do. Thus, however the deadlock gets resolved, I'd like to propose the following.

Whenever elections are next held, I propose that every currently extant party in Talossa agree to suspend their campaigns for a period of one Cosă term, with every person seeking membership in the Cosă for that term who normally does so under the banner of a currently extant party instead running as individuals, and every such member thereafter voting according to their conscience, rather than their party affiliation.

I am not currently a member of any political party and have nothing to gain from any party's accession to this agreement. I'm just thinking a reset of some sort wouldn't go amiss.

Don't anybody let it be forgotten how he sees himself.

My guy, it doesn't take anyone casting you as anything but what you are for your authoritarian politics to be objectionable. Absolute monarchists could be the ruling majority and they'd still be repugnant.

By golf scoring, I've won by a landslide.

(I'm honored and humbled by the decision to promote me, and I'm grateful. However, if my contributions are worthy of such of a promotion, I believe those of the Ladintsch Naziunal, Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP, are deserving in equal measure.)

With apologies, I believe it would be best to forfeit my games, including my current one against Glüc. Just can't really expect people to be down to play on a day's notice or less.

Mayhaps could match people on a bye against my would-be opponents?

Apologies for the delay. With 0 votes for and 0 votes against, the resolution of confidence in the current governor passes.

I'd first like to follow up on the Cort's advisory opinion by accepting @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC's assignment of the ¡AVANT! Coalition's 1 seat to @Açafat del Val.

However, I'd still like to introduce a revision to the Constitution.

The updated seat distribution is as follows:

Governor - 1 seat
Mximo Carbonèl - 3 seats (senator's seat + Green Party's 2 seats)
Açafat del Val - 2 seats (¡AVANT!)
Vacant - 2 seats - Progressive Alliance (I guess we're kinda past the deadline for assignment.)
