Quote from: Carteir Montagnhă on April 13, 2026, 09:46:43 PMhello everyone, lately, i haven't been really active or engaged with any of my fellow Talossans due to personal reasons.

today, i would like to know what has occurred, basically anything, any kind of event, so i can catch up with everybody else.

thank you!

I bet very few people will get the reference, but in the 70's there was a sitcom called "Welcome Back Kotter." The theme song from that show came to my mind on your return, so, "welcome back Carteir!"

thank you! your majesty.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on April 14, 2026, 06:59:02 AMI don't know how long you've been gone, but a lot has happened recently!  Assuming you haven't checked in since your last post in September:

Politically: there was an election, and the Progressive Alliance won the most seats but not quite a majority.  We had a coalition with the IDF, and then their leader (who's still figuring things out) said some ignorant stuff and we broke the coalition but they continued to support us.  We also have a coalition with the Independent Greens in some kind of way, and we have a confidence-and-supply agreement with the URL.  So the Green Party is the Opposition right now, mostly because none of the other parties with form any kind of alliance with a party led by a sex pest.  Oh, and I'm the Seneschal.

Legally: there have been some big reforms, such as getting rid of the Seneschal's ability to permanently make new laws, adding a check to the immigration system by mirroring applications to an independent account, and changing the Cosa to only 20 seats in size (this hasn't come into effect yet).

Culturally: the music contest TMT finished up, hockey is in the playoffs, there's a new political science institute, the prime minister's patriotic award is set to be the first physical award sent to Talossans, we're systematically investigating and reporting back on other micronations with volunteers,  and we're making promotional videos now.

That's all that comes to mind off the top of my head.

Carter, Alexandreu missed a few things "off the top of his head."

The Green Party is now the Official Opposition because his party made an informal agreement with the URL. As a part of that agreement the URL has been abstaining on votes of confidence and receiving support on its Democracy Agenda branded bills from the PA. The unexpected consequence of that agreement is the latter, as the largest non-Government party, being unable to serve as the official opposition. When I pointed this out it was confirmed by the Tuischach and the Secretary of State. Oops. Alexandreu's party despite his statement above is still receiving support from the IDT and encouraging their leader to work on things like a translation of the Organic Law.

In the meantime, there have been some news and cultural activities. I have brought forward the fourth round of the El Pretz Per Tomas poetry contest (winner announcement coming soon). There will also be a fifth edition of the Talossan Book of Cuisine later this year.

My Youtube Channel, Fora Talossa, as Talossa's only active newschannel has created a couple of news videos on Talossan political events with a third coming this week to include a special from one of our newest citizens. Here is the latest edition:


thank you!

that's a lot, thank you for helping me out, and congratulations on your victory to become the Seneschal! i wish you success and good luck in your journey of being Seneschal.

As far as Talossan Republicanism goes, we may have been on the losing side, we're still not convinced it was the wrong one.
ohh, such a fascinated history, thank you for answering my question!

i have this question stuck on my mind since the day i discovered about Fiôvâ.

hello! i just got my Talossan citizenship today! and i would like to get to know everyone here since i am now a Fiovan myself :)
#15
i applied for Talossan citizenship around 19 August, and now it's 8 September, so it has been approximately 20 days, and i'm still waiting for my citizenship petition. i'm fine with waiting, but i'm just curious how long it takes for each petition.

anyway, i'm really enjoying chatting as well as reading stuff here so much. i've learned a lot about how Talossan society works. overall, this forum is full of kind and creative people. i hope to get to know everybody here and be friends with each other.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on August 22, 2025, 05:00:19 PM@Carter Montana In one of my responses I mentioned being involved in something called the Talossan Book of Cuisine. We collect favorite recipes from Talossans. I know you are not yet Talossan but by the time the next issue comes out you hopefully will be.

Do you have a favorite recipe that you'd be willing to share for publication?
thank you for asking, i've been a fan of food all my life, i really like to cooking food for myself and learn new technique.

i have a few favorite recipes, and they are all from my homeland, such as:

1. Chha Kh'nhei (ឆាខ្ញី – Stir-fry with Ginger)

4. Add shredded papaya and carrot. Pound and toss until everything is combined.


5. Sprinkle peanuts on top. Serve fresh.

(i strongly recommend doing more research, such as watching videos on YouTube, if you're not sure, because i understand that the process of making these dishes can be a bit complicated.)
