Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 25, 2026, 08:45:15 PMI would suggest tracking how many terpelaziuns are answered by the minister in question, Crement. I am not in the Ziu currently but the Opposition might want to track how often the Seneschal answers on the minister's behalf.

This is a good idea. I will do this only if it becomes a pattern that the prime minister answers for the minister. In my first question the Foreign Affairs minister also answered which was appreciated.

I am not interested in baseball despite its popularity in Japan but this is GOOD news!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 25, 2026, 08:25:52 PMAnswering on behalf of my Minister: thank you for your question. Money is being appropriated through the budget process. Once the budget has passed, we will donate funds according to the advice of our permanent secretary.

As Burgermeister I stand ready to distribute funds as directed by the Minister of Finance after budget approval

As Foreign Minister I will support whatever action is approved by the Ziu.

xpb

Thank you Minister.

I agree with the Finance Minister that this is in principle a good idea. I am reviving this for that reason.

---

Whereas, the Finance Minister is authorized by El Lex D.2.8.8. "to create, manage, and promote a voluntary fundraising campaign to the citizens of Talossa and other interested parties each year," and

Whereas, recent news of Talossans experiencing illness or grief ignites a desire for official acts of solidarity and kindness by their government, and

Whereas, such official acts of solidarity and kindness while small and limited can be a meaningful contribution to the good and welfare of Talossa's citizens.

Therefore, be it resolved, by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that the Finance Ministry is encouraged to promote a voluntary fundraising campaign for the purpose of establishing a Good & Welfare fund for Talossans encountering hardship, grief, or illness, and

Be it further resolved, that before the commencement of such campaign the Finance Ministry is encouraged to:

Develop guidelines defining hardship, grief, or illness for the purposes of accessing the fund, and

Develop guidelines that ensure procedural fairness and transparency, and

Publish procedures for disbursement.

@Sir Lüc Can you please move this to the CRL?

Hello Speaker,

I first wanted to thank the Seneschal for his October updates. His updates failed to answer a question that a member of the Opposition has posed without response. It was most likely overlooked and is a regrettable error. To get an answer to this question I pose it to the Foreign Minister @xpb who is in charge of the ministry responsible for the BHAID.

I first refer to the following response from the involved Permanent Secretary:

Quote from: Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir on September 07, 2026, 06:10:44 PMMy apologies for not responding to this been having a low energy and mental health period.

In terms of BHAID, I have no access to the fundd and have no information of the actual balance of the funds we have to our organisation.

But I would recommend that we donate to charities helping in the relief effort, one for both nations effected, and have a citizen drive to also donate to the same charity organisations

I don't have any specifically in mind, apart from maybe the Red Cross. Other than that, people can recommend charities, and we can review

In addition to the Nepali Red Cross here are some other great options operating in Nepal/Tibet:

Direct Relief
Project Hope

I wonder if the citizen donation drive could be done in cooperation with the new Talossan Naval Relief Corps?

I have no reason to not suggest that our donation be spread between these three charities and have a drive that encourages talossans to donate to all three
This is what I officially recommend

This was nearly a month ago and was in response to urging from His Majesty, King Txec. What is the status of implementing this recommendation?

WHAT is my name?

Crement Itravilatx

WHAT is my request?

If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs

WHAT is my favourite colour?

Orange

Brandon has withdrawn his own nomination about ten days ago. When will we receive other nominations for governor?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 18, 2026, 12:02:56 AMBumping this.

I know you have not received an answer yet but the budget has money for BHAID which is good news. Hopefully the three organizations will receive support.

Can you tell us more about your advocacy for oppressed peoples and your noncorformity?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 14, 2026, 09:36:54 PMAlright, now to Talaviac'hi food. The first cultural food item, as approved, by the only other Talaviac'hi on Earth is something that is a fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian tastes.

It's musubi.


Consulting the wiki oracle for additional information:

QuoteSpam musubi is a form of musubi that originally came from Hawaii, a popular item in the lunchboxes of Hawaiian plantation workers. The origin of Spam musubi is disputed. Survivors of the Japanese American internment camps on the mainland of the United States claim to have invented the precursor to Spam musubi, when they placed seasoned slices of Spam on white rice in a baking pan. However, most origin stories focus on Spam's ubiquity in Hawaii during and in the aftermath of World War II. With few other options, the canned meat was incorporated into local cuisines wherever American troops were stationed. For example, South Korea's budae-jjigae, a stew of surplus U.S. military foods, included Spam. In the United Kingdom, where Spam was ubiquitous during the hardship of the postwar years, Spam acquired a stigma exemplified by the 1970 Monty Python sketch. Spam may not have been abandoned in the Pacific like it was in the UK simply because of the comparative economic deprivation experienced in the Pacific region.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin said of Spam musubi in 2002, "There is no definitive history for this aberration." Still, the newspaper relayed that a 2001 cookbook stated that the potential creator is Mitsuko Kaneshiro, who began selling them out of City Pharmacy on Pensacola Street in Honolulu and by the early 1980s was selling 500 handmade Spam musubi servings a day out of her own shop, Michan's Musubi. The other person said to be the creator of Spam musubi is Barbara Funamura of Kauai, who sold it out of the Joni-Hana Restaurant in the Kukui Grove Center. The Garden Island in 1983 described it as, "Spam and rice, two local favorites, are combined in an enormous musubi (rice ball) wrapped in nori (sheets of dried seaweed)."

The fact that it is cheap, easy to prepare, and delicious combines three important aspects of Talaviac'hi cuisine. That it can be found in gas stations is also a notable aspect of the foodstuff. Any Talaviac'hi worth their salt knows that gas stations are havens of delicious gastrointestinal destruction. But do check the prepared date just to be safe.

An easy spam musubi recipe will be included in the next edition of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.

I think we should include a paragraph-length description of musubi in addition to the recipe. It could be something similar to this Wikipedia article.

Don't forget about this :)

Yes, that is correct. The primary change is in 8.9.4 and accounts for a vacancy in the Royal Archivist position.

At least she came out and admitted it. She receives points for honesty. But you are still here.
