The eras leading up to the declaration of the Republic in 2004 are more significant than the ones after that. The pre-Internet era, for example, was completely different from what followed.

There are indeed pictures!

The concert in Uppsala Cathedral was amazing. So was upholding the tradition of meeting with GV every nineteeen years. Always a pleasure.

Oh my, completely forgot this memorable holiday. At the time I was an ex-citizen, having been blackballed by King Ben (completely unconstiutional, of course) for being a "troublemaker" (which meant that I was a peacemaker and not a warmonger). A couple of days before the event, I was tipped off that something would happen on June 1, and lo and behold! A revolution! I joined the Republic at once.

Ah, those were glorious days. However, the Kingdom was more exotic to Americans, being a monarchy, and outperformed us in the long run when it came to immigration. A pity.

Voted in ElectionBuddy.

Alas, we used to, but we no longer have. And no need for apologies, even though the TSF&WS was never dissolved, it doesn't mean it has been active in any meaningful way. Anyhow, you are its glorious leader now.

My apologies!  Does the society have a dedicated message board, or web presence?

Talossan Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Whiskey Society (TSFFWS) is here by re-established.

What do you mean, "re-established"? We never went away! I hereby hand over the reins to you. What's the whisky of the week? I'm OK with the added "fantasy", but please remove the "e" from whisky!

Blessings,

Ián

As fate would have it, on April 20 I would be unable to participate because I am hosting a traveller from the GTA - not a citizen himself, but he is at least an acquaintance of an Old Growther.

Congratulations to the winners (and to be honest, 30 votes isn't bad for the FreeDems, considering the circumstances). And special congrats to the PDR, who stood for election for the first time and ended up becoming the kingmaker of this election!

You will always be Talossan, Audrey, whether you are a citizen or not.

... and the NPW delegation to the Cosă just abstained on this bill that the Party promised to vote for.

I just give up on Talossan politics, as long as there's no way for a party to be put out of the Cosă in an election. There is just nothing to stop people making agreements and then just tearing them up without reason, logic, or explanation. You can't make multi-party deals in such circumstances and therefore doing anything "important" is impossible.

Which is why we desperately need to downsize the Cosa.

@anglatzara , any thoughts?  @GV ?

No thoughts or comments. I have given you all I have and I have no clues about how to retrieve stuff that's still missing.

So I have zipped up what I have - and it's a jumble of things, though more proclamations, newspapers and photos etc than actual records. And it's completely unsorted, so it's more archaeology than history. I'll send y'all the link, AD & GV.

Thank you so much!  Some of the correspondence stuff in here is fascinating, as are the laws, and so much of it is new to me.  Excellent!

I don't think there's more correspondence than a letter I sent to King John (sadly ignored by him) and one I sent to a prospective citizen, unless you found something I didn't see. I do of course have tons of correspondence saved away, but going through all that and sorting out the non-personal stuff would take forever, so I'm not giving that to anyone.

I have some folders scattered on various hard disks, with citizen lists, versions of the Constitution etc. I will sift through it, delete personal details like birth dates, addresses etc, and see if I can get a zip over to you.
