A failed fact-check from the URL:

QuoteIn his introduction post, "Independent Progressive" Breneir Tzaracomprada claims to be "a founder of Talossan Progressivism". Unless S:reu Tzaracomprada is Danihel Laurier come back to us, we rate this claim false.

My Talossan middle name is indeed DanihelLaurier. So yes I am Danihel Laurier come back to you lol. More seriously though as a founder of Talossan progressivism I am proud to see it nearing twenty years of presence in the nation's politics.

As an independent Progressive I am excited to continue serving within this proud tradition. I appreciate any and all support from the voters.

Fellow Talossans,

As a founder of Talossan Progressivism and now as an Independent Progressive I am asking for your vote. After some wise encouragement from my husband to make a simple apology and allow the Greens to move on I have set out on an independent path. I wish the Greens great success, genuinely, and trust that the direction Crement will take the party will be one that allows for it to better contribute to the Kingdom.

For my part, in the next Cosa I will continue to propose legislation that makes the Talossan case for good in the world. That encourages a more peculiarly progressive take on Talossanity, and demonstrates that the character and behavior of others need not be cause for you to sink to their level.

Courage is contagious. And I hope that spreads in the Kingdom ever farther.

Breneir

At some point in the future, if we are going to continue to have turbocharged political cycles, we need to consider an election period moratorium on immigration. Perhaps, during the actual election, and the two weeks preceding it.

With the Factbook effort extending through the entirety of the last term it is disappointing to see it is now on hold. It would be of interest to know what caused the hold so as to know whether the hold is indefinite. Perhaps in private?

Hi Luc @Sir Lüc

Now that I've submitted my registration for The Independent Progressive (BREN) party would it be possible to get a thread in the parties area similar to what the URL, Greens, and PA have? If it requires me to send in the registration payment as well then I understand and will let you know once that has been submitted. If not, please consider this my official request.

Breneir

Party Name:
The Independent Progressive (BREN)

Party leader:
Breneir Tzaracomprada

50 word statement:
My readiness to serve the Kingdom endures as love for it will not allow me to withdraw. I call on all to summon the courage to look forward so we can move forward together. I will continue to serve my country. May this example inspire others to do the same.

Cosa list:
Just me :)

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on August 12, 2026, 09:41:57 AM@Sir Lüc I was reviewing the example ballot and came away with a question. Mximo Carbonel is a sitting senator (Florencia) and presumably can't hold both his current seat and be a member of the Cosa. Can he legally stand as a member of this list?

Yes he can, but of course he won't be eligible to accept Cosă seats should he be assigned any, unless he also resigns his Senate seat.

In other words: running for an incompatible position is legal, but accepting the election without resolving the incompatibility is not.

Thanks Luc.

Madam President @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù

Thanks again for assigning my application. I had a quick question for you as Eðo and C.M. are not very active on Wittenberg. If they are not responsive in, say...a month, what is the process for further consideration of my application?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on July 29, 2026, 10:50:52 AMHi @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù

I wanted to follow-up on my application for membership and also enquire as to the status of your own which was submitted about two weeks ago. Are there any updates concerning these applications?

@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù I hope you will forgive my additional follow-up. I am genuinely excited by your recent work to renew the Society so wanted to join and contribute in any way I can. I can certainly relate with a need to focus on non-Talossa activities (I am currently transitioning between jobs and the days are long). Once you are able I would love your comments on my application.

So sorry about that! I have been fairly busy myself, partly because I have decided I love academia so much that I do, in fact, want to do my PhD and have been writing proposals and such. I have looked over your submission and would be happy to give feedback; however, I would like to open the submissions's stewardship over to one of our senior fellows, not that I don't have time, more that i fear my understanding of the subject matter itself is outside of my personal wheelhouse of knowledge. I can give it merit on its style, format and such, however I perosally dont feel upto the task to judge its content.

Thank you Madam President. I am open to any questions and would be honored to join the Society and help shape its future.

I appreciate the openness and care and thought that is evident in the Secretary of State's materials here but I agree with Miestra. I would support Option 2.

Quote from: xpb on August 05, 2026, 07:36:15 AMThanks for keeping in touch on this.  I will have some strategy announcements coming soon (a bit swamped at the moment with trivianationals.org taking place this next weekend).  We submitted a couple of factbook sheets for review by other entities (West Who, Asgardia) but only one (West Who) acknowledged.

XPB, fantastic news on the acknowledgment from West Who! Looking forward to hearing more about the upcoming plans.

Is this effort on hold until after the election?

Quote from: xpb on March 14, 2026, 10:23:19 PMnote: 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

Hey @xpb

In starting to finally get to work on the second report for the Dominion of Vancouver Island I noticed this note concerning the Asgardia report. Have you heard anything back from Asgardian Foreign Ministry?

Asgardia did not reply to my March 2 inquiry: Establishing Asgardia information for Talossan Factbook 2026.  I most recently received from them their general newsletter on June 18th (their unity day) indicating that their upcoming 10-year anniversary 12 October 2026.

meanwhile there's an effort by Microcon/Slowjamistan to create a more terse directory that wouldn't have the details of the fact book but could be a starting point to collect information from.

Hey @xpb

I saw the idea of creating embassies but I wanted to check in on the information sharing project which I am surprised is not a part of the PA campaign. Unfortunately, I've not made any progress for my second report on the Dominion of Vancouver Island. Have any other participants turned in their reports? Any news from Asgardia on my report?

These will go very well with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs garb.
