Quote from: Eðo Grischun on March 10, 2025, 03:57:57 PMI, hereby, announce my candidacy for the Senate seat of the United Provinces of Vuode and Dandenburg.

Congratulations you win!

Hopefully someone who is much more politically savvy will take the lead on this as I agree with you that our constitution is a mess LOL Unfortunately I am not very good at writing laws

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on February 18, 2025, 09:53:18 AMAzul. I have been appointed to this position. I will endeavor to serve to the best of my ability. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns right off the bat.

Congratulations Baron!

Fellow citizens of Vuode, King Txec has requested that we nominate someone to be our new cunstaval. In the past it has been required that the cunstaval not be a citizen of the province. Since we have no true leadership right now I will take the initiative and open nominations. Does anyone wish to put forward a nominee?

I came into Talossa with a lot of enthusiasm, I quickly realized I was in way over my head. Yes it obviously takes enthusiasm for someone to serve in any governmental capacity, whether that is as a minister, senator, cosa member, king or civil servant, but it also requires intelligence. The ability to sift through all of the laws, and understand them. When I was a member of the TNC and we won the majority I immediately contacted party leadership and told them I did NOT want a cabinet position and when I was asked why, I told the truth. I am not intelligent enough to understand the inner workings of the government. I think a lot of the problem with finding willing people who stick out there terms as ministers is in some ways the same. Some people jump into the job and then realize they don't really understand the process. Another issue is the constant hurling of insults back and forth which inevitably lands upon the shoulders of the ministers in the form of Terpelaziuns. Pretty much everyone in Talossa has jobs and family in the real world which take up their time and inhibits their ability to effectively perform the tasks set before them. We simply do not have enough people who are active, have an understanding of how the government works, an understanding of the laws, the time to put into the job to do it properly and honestly the thick skin required to do the job. Hell since I have been here I have seen at least one person leave a post to seek mental health treatment, I think that speaks to the problem with the insults. I ran for senator at the behest of my previous parties leadership despite not understanding the job. I have held a seat in the Vuode provincial government up to and including both Premier and Presiding Officer despite having no knowledge of how to perform the duties of those positions, proving once again that we do not have enough intelligent active citizens. Until this problem is solved we will have a government run by a select few citizens who in my opinion have done fantastic work on both sides but are overwhelmed. Sorry about the longwinded rant but I needed to get it off of my chest...you may continue LOL

As to RZ19 I vote Contra

Quote from: Sir Lüc on January 03, 2025, 05:16:44 AMIt's usually been the first senator that got to it.

FWIW, in the next Ziu I plan on opening separate Cosă and Senate voting threads myself, with the Cosă thread moved to the Cosă board instead of the Lobby.

I like that idea.

Can any senator start a voting thread for the current cosa or is it up to a certain person to do so?

I was going to try it, I have a cute little christmas poem somewhere, my biggest problem wasn't going to be figuring out the words it was the grammar that was going to be the issue for me.

Since we do not currently have a standing government let me as the first citizen from Vuode to do so represent the province in congratulating our new king. I believe King Txec will be a fantastic leader of this country, I believe he will be fair and non-partisan in his leadership. I would also like to thank King John for his many years of service to Talossa. I wish I was better with the language because I would like to say this in Talossan but...LONG LIVE KING JOHN! LONG LIVE KING TXEC!!!

I have always been fascinated with flags but probably not smart enough to be involved in academic study of flags...I am probably the only person in the world who would go on a cruise and come home with photos of the flags of each country we visited LOL

I prefer the current governmental setup with both a senat and cosa, I do however support a fixed election date, I have never really understood why our elections move around, it makes it quite confusing. A yearly election makes much more sense to me.

RZ17-Contra
RZ18-Per

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on October 07, 2024, 02:00:01 PMAs you pointed out earlier Talossan already has tens of thousands of words, more than enough to have saying, colloquialisms and proverbs. Though their development depends on the language being used extensively, which so far has not been the case (the only person right now to do that is Iac), so ideally we would want a campaign to encourage citizens to learn and use the language instead.

KR1 apparently made up a whole heap of proverbs but of course only he ever used them. But as to learning and using, that goes back to the Culture Ministry's top priority, which unfortunately seems to have gone onto the "too hard" basket. However, the responses to this thread show that the repressed demand is there. We just need "prüms päçen", to coin a phrase.

None of them are on my keyboard I have to use alt characters
