I say that we keep the essay, but, entries made by AI will be denied.

Keep in mind that AI detectors think that the US Declaration of Independence (and many other historical documents) were written by AI.

PS
I'm hoping I tagged these people correctly

yes, I received mine!

Trying to find simple verbs like "been" or "was" returns "Your query didn't yield any results." or "no exact match" with a bunch of words that simply have those letters.

It would be super helpful if there was a searchable document that had the list of Talossan words with their English counterparts.

I could have done a "sanity check" if I could have found a functional online Talossan dictionary.

I guess I shouldn't have relied upon ChatGPT to translate.

here's the poem in English:

The Kingdom of Dreams

There was a man from Milwaukee,
     who, out of boredom,
in his bedroom,
     created a micronation.
Forty-five years have passed
     and King Ben's dream lives on.
The years have seen changes,
     in the style and form of this nation.
With citizens across the globe,
     one man's dream has spread.
Talossa became bigger
     than one man could dream.
And may we all always remember:
     Miehen Huone on Hänen Valtakuntansa.

Congratulations to the new King of Talossa!

I have some unfortunate news, after my own review, of Florencian Constitution. We do not have a Governor. For more information please review Article 7 in the section concerning the Appointment of the Governor.

I can confirm I never fulfilled the obligation to sing the provincial anthem in the presence of the Constable.

I am also going to take this opportunity to suggest a more active and involved Florencian for the office of Governor. @Zilect Uómbat Firă

Zilect may also have a better singing voice. @Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN should you recognize that the office of Governor is actually vacant then I support the appointment of my colleague in the Nimlet.

Breneir

While I appreciate the nomination, I will decline as I need to focus more on my other obligations.

Quote from: Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN on October 28, 2024, 07:21:14 PMIt appears to me that Article IV, Section 6 of the Constitution of Florencia has not been adhered to, as I see no evidence that the Governor has invited the Constable to consider any resolution for approval. This procedural step is essential under the Constitution to ensure the lawful enactment of resolutions.

Regardless, under my authority in Article IV, Section 6, I am formally disapproving the Statutory Law Codification Act. My objections are grounded in the resolution's apparent inorganic provisions that impose obligations upon the Crown to maintain and administer provincial laws. Should the office of Constable become vacant, this requirement would place a direct administrative responsibility upon the Sovereign, which is neither appropriate nor consistent with constitutional/organic intent. The Constitution nor OrgLaw does not envision a province requiring the Crown to undertake provincial administrative duties, as this fundamentally misinterprets the nature of the Crown's role.

Further, the resolution breaches Article III, Section 1, as it misinterprets the role of the Constable. The Constable is a representative of the Sovereign of Talossa, and the administration of provincial laws is not an obligation of the Crown but rather a duty of the provincial legislature, the Governor, or bodies created by them.

Per Article IV, Section 6:

QuotePresentation to the Constable
Whenever the House of Shepherds has passed a resolution, the Governor shall close the question, sign the instrument forthwith, and invite that Constable consider it for approval.
... If the Constable disapprove a resolution presented by the Governor, then the former shall return it to the consideration of the Shepherds with his objections in writing: and if the same resolution should earn again at least twice as many affirmative votes as negative ... the Governor shall close the question and promulgate the resolution forthwith.

For these reasons, I am returning the Statutory Law Codification Act to the House of Shepherds for further consideration, citing these constitutional/organic objections.

After taking another look at the Constitution of Florencia, I agree that this duty should already apply to the Governor.

Since this does not appear to be happening, should the Nimlet consider a bill to equire the Governor perform this duty?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 27, 2024, 03:32:25 PM@Zilect Uómbat Firă Well, while we wait for King John to abdicate and make Txec's ascension final I have an update. We do actually have a constable: @Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN

In light of this, I wanted to confirm you would still prefer for me to petition Txec once he is officially king?

I'll defer to your discretion

Lo Reign de los Rêvos

Era ün om da Milvoc'ht,
     qi da enuxhità,
en sia cambră,
     creava üna naziun.
Qatorçh-cinc ars aint paßat
     e l'anavál del Réx Ben vivera.
I ars aint vêzut cangiăs,
     en lo stil e forma de questa naziun.
Cun citoyens across lo glob,
     ün om's anavál spandit.
Talossa deveni mai granda,
     che ün om podi rêvar.
E che nos tots toz mument aint remembrar:
     Miehen Huone on Hänen Valtakuntansa.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 20, 2024, 06:29:36 PMExcellent point and it definitely seems unattended. Would you be OK if I waited until Txec is officially King to submit the petition? If memory serves me well, last time I had to submit this petition it went unaswered so I'd like to present it to the likely more active monarch.

makes perfect sense!

That seems to imply the position is either vacant or generally unattended.
Per Article III §1 of the Constitution of Florencia (2020): "If the office of the Constable be ever vacant or generally unattended, the Governor shall petition without delay that the Sovereign appoint a new Constable and shall repeat this petition so often as may be necessary to effectuate the appointment."
