A touch of some Talossanity would be something I'd say.

yep there will at least be a flag or crest somewhere on the craft!

Putting in an application for https://www.redbull.com/us-en/events/red-bull-soapbox-denver/ hoping to get selected for my 6th Red Bull event

Seeing no discussion as of yet I will set a poll during the month of recess of the Cosa for l'Etats to consider on or before Wedesday, April 29 (4 weeks from today)

Shall Pétanque boules be the official leisure sport of Cézembre?

for those interested, here is one source from a consolidator (there may also be direct ones)

The following uniform, defined as "A suit, bendy Argent, Gules, Vert, repeated" shall be the uniform of the current Foreign Ministry.

Are there any in our midst that could potentially attend in September 2027 to https://eu.microcon27.com/register/ ?

I can pledge 50€ towards the effort.

As a follow up, I don't see or understand the method to add calendar items
I can see this months calendar at https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?action=calendar;viewmonth;year=2026;month=3; can anyone instruct me on technique?

I am quite interested in the results of this one. Any results from Mximo, @xpb ?

I believe that is still in progress

I thank the Minister for his reply; while the other information is indeed welcome, it appears that at its core, his answer to my question is "no", so as a supplementary question, why was it the Government was unaware? The current government campaigned in the last election on a fifty-word statement that said in part: "Promote the fun stuff that's happening... and let the world know about our amazing little nation!" Participating in this event along with many other micronational delegations would have been a fantastic opportunity to "let the world know about our amazing little nation", and it seems a major oversight on their part not to have investigated. The Seneschal is in the MicroWiki discord, the same place I myself learned of this event. How did the Government manage to drop the ball?

It would be great to take part in lots of events, and it was unfortunate that this one was missed this year but perhaps can be placed on future calendars.

Of note for next year is that both the King and I have registered to MicroCon 27, and others are encouraged to do so while the early bird pricing is still in effect until 5 April in the USA and likely a similar time in Europe  https://us.microcon27.com/a-warning-from-microcon-27/

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on March 18, 2026, 12:50:33 AMEstimat Tuischac'h,

I rise this evening with a question for the Minister for Foreign Affairs, @xpb . I had initially posed this question to the Minister, represented by the Seneschal, at the Informal Session. However, as the Seneschal admitted he would not be able to accurately account for his Minister in this case, he recommended I pose the question to the Minister directly in order to get an answer. Therefore:

The 2026 eSports Games, an event of the Micronational Olympics Federation, recently began competition. The event features competition in multiple events, including Battleship, Chess, Uno, Pac-Man, and a "National Pride" event reminiscent of the former Olympic art competitions.

I will give fair warning, as I did at the Informal Session, that this question is a two-parter, but the first question is very simply: was the Minister aware of this event?

thanks for the posting I was unaware of this event and I'm sorry if I missed any kind of direct messages regarding it.  in the past I've encouraged people to take part in online activities such as youplay.it and learnedleague.com to which at least a couple of citizens have participated.  I've also challenged the kingdom prior to my appointment as minister to the world quizzingg championships which take place the first Saturday of June each year. I would assume this e-sport event would be of interest to some in our midst.

@Glüc and @Sir Ian should have data from TMT
Talossan Music Top (various years numbers genres)

There is actually a spotify list of every regular edition tmt nomination: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6HlnZVMlpgAXNhzkqHg9gY

A YT Music playlist would be nice too, I don't have Spotify.
Seeking to possibly download it

maybe some bot could harvest the YT links from the voting lists and create a channel?

@King Txec

The Foreign Ministry proposes the following additional postings in impulse #2 for your consideration:

@Breneir Tzaracomprada as Information Liaison for the Dominion of Vancouver Island

note: data collected by Breneir duing impulse #1 for Asgardia not including SWOT analysis has been submitted to their foreign ministry for review of accuracy - this is an information gathering step only, not establishing any specific relationship

@Moinul Moin as Information Liaison for Ladonia

@X. Pol Briga as Information Liaison for the the Republic of West Who

###

Impulse #1 ongoing assignment @Mximo Malt as Information Liaison for the Republic of Slowjamistan

###

The following entities have made inquiry regarding a diplomatic relationship that do not yet have a volunteer information liaison

Cultural Republic of Auralis

Principality of New Rome

Socialist, Democratic, Popular Republic of Saint Précheux le Marais

United Socialist Republic of the Stapler

I stand ready to respond to any inquiries you may have regarding these recommended appointments, and encourage others to send a personal message about their interests for impulse #3

X. Pol Briga
as Foreign Minister 62nd Cosa

Keep an eye out to the list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vpj7FD31PbEan0JZXZeXWKION0WpNZG2vdJ6xm7uaKY/edit?usp=sharing

When an external contact comes in, I will place it under Information Liaison as "External Request" - these would be potentially be the most active ones, although some are very new and may not have much information yet. Another entity I reviewed indicated they don't even consider diplomatic relations until a specific micronation has been active for at least a year.

There are a couple of DRAFT Factbook links - note that the basics of these will be sent to be verified by the external entity as correct (without our internal-only SWOT analysis) and then move to a prepublished level.  Having a Factbook entry does not indicate diplomatic relations, but is a precursor to any potential relationship.

Sounds like an interesting idea - in the US that would be by state (province) so maybe a CZ one would be appropriate first.

oops voted in thread then deleted it and sent PM

Thank you for your inquiry into the Foreign Ministry and your research even prior to becoming a citizen.
