Whereas, settler colonialism is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "a type of colonialism in which the indigenous peoples of a colonized region are displaced by settlers who permanently form a society there," and

Whereas, the Kingdom of Talossa is on land itself and is an enclave of the United States, a country fitting this definition, and

Whereas, the Kingdom in the diversity of its citizen's global reach has connections with many countries meeting this description (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa as examples), and

Whereas, land acknowledgments have grown in use as a tool to start conversations around historical witnessing and reconciliation in settler colonialist countries.

Therefore, be it enacted, that the following customized version of the land acknowledgment created by the Electa Quinney Institute of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is added to El Lexhatx Section F as a new subsection:

Quote41. LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Kingdom of Talossa acknowledges it is located on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America's largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin's sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present.

WHEREAS, at present, the catchment areas of provinces in Talossa are confusing and incongruous; and

WHEREAS while a balanced intake of immigrants, geographical contiguity and common cultural roots may very well be impossible to achieve all at the same time, this is still a step in the right direction to achieve just that.

Cabinet Personnel Update

The STUFF/Culture Minister, Carlus Eovart Vilaçafat, has informed me he has been hospitalized. First, I want to ask Talossans to spare a kind and positive thought toward his rapid return to good health. Second, he has delegated ministerial responsibilities (statutory obligations, terpelaziuns, etc.) until that return to good health, to his Deputy STUFF/Culture.

Whereas, Uganda has just passed a law stating that "a person who commits the offence of aggravated homosexuality and is liable, on conviction to suffer death, making homosexual acts punishable by the death penalty or life imprisonment," and

Whereas, this law represents another step backwards for the rights of LGBTQ people in Uganda and across the African continent, and

Whereas, this law is an escalated and egregious attack on the lives and liberty of LGBTQ Ugandans, and

Whereas, Talossans as free people and lovers of freedom, owe our witness and our voices, to those yet to be blessed with such freedoms.

Therefore, be it the Sense of the Ziu, to express its condemnation of the Ugandan Parliament's passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill and of the bill itself.

Whereas, government transparency is important to the maintenance of a relationship of trust, confidence, and respect between the governor and the governed, and

Whereas, this mutual relationship is a vital component for the maintenance of Talossa's free and open society, and

Whereas, the automated transmittal of non-confidential internal government communications to the Royal Archives upholds the current Government's pledge of transparency.

Be it enacted by the King, Cosa and Sënats in Ziu assembled that a new subsection is added to El Lexhatx D.8 to read as follows:

Quote8.9 Automated Governmental Information Transmittal

8.9.1 All internal government communications on Government-owned fora shall be transmitted to the Royal Archives as soon as feasibly possible after the conclusion of that Government's term of office.

8.9.2 These transmittals shall be released to the public by the Royal Archives seven (7) years after the conclusion of that Government's term of office.

8.9.3 No communications containing protected information covered by El Lexhatx sections D. 8.2, D. 8.3, and D. 8.4 shall be included in the transmittals.

Furthermore,

The transmittal scheme shall begin with the internal government records of the Tzaracomprada Cabinet (58th Cosa).

WHEREAS this rather cool word was created by the legendary author J. R. R. Tolkien, and

WHEREAS one way to celebrate this day might be for the word to be translated into Talossan.

THEREFORE I declare 25 March 2023/XLIV, to be Eucatastrophe Day.

Whereas, someone experienced in accounting and finance has informed that a balance sheet is not an income sheet, and

Whereas, this should probably be fixed in El Lexhatx.

Therefore, be it enacted, that C 1.5.6.3 which currently reads as:

Quote1.5.6.3. a balance sheet which clearly lists all expenses linking them to the relative sheet items in the budget bills approved in the Cosa,

Is amended to read as:

Quote1.5.6.3. an income statement which clearly lists all expenses linking them to the relative sheet items in the budget bills approved in the Cosa,

Whereas, there is a continuing interest in encouraging the development of provincial subcultures, and

Whereas, cultural development is one potential route to which we can revitalize provincial activity, and

Whereas, there is one shining example of the successful development of a provincial subculture in the Cjovani Benitians, and

Whereas, one way to encourage the replication of this laudable Talossan subculture effort is to memorialize and celebrate one of its first instances.

Therefore, be it enacted, that a new ziua auservada or Day of Observance is created by adding subsection 4.3.8 of Title F of El Lexhatx to read as follows:

Quote7 April. Cjovani Day. This holiday honors a trailblazing example of Talossan subcultural development, the Cjovani Benitians, and serves as a day for Talossans to consider the potential for future subcultures in their own provinces.

Subsequent sections are to renumbered as necessary.

Whereas, every Talossan goes through meaningful milestones over the course of their lives, and

Whereas, it is a reasonable prerogative of the Kingdom to participate in celebrating the most meaningful of these milestones, and

Whereas, the longevity of each citizen's membership in the Kingdom is one of the most meaningful of milestones for each Talossan.

Therefore, be it enacted, that a new section of Title D of El Lexhatx (2.1.2) shall be added as follows:

D 2.1.2: Each citizen meeting specific time thresholds as a Talossan citizen, may request a certificate, signed by the Crown and the Seneschal. The citizenship milestones are 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and 50 years.

The Land Acknowledgment Act

Whereas, settler colonialism is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "a type of colonialism in which the indigenous peoples of a colonized region are displaced by settlers who permanently form a society there," and

Whereas, the Kingdom of Talossa is on land itself and is an enclave of the United States, a country fitting this definition, and

Whereas, the Kingdom in the diversity of its citizen's global reach has connections with many countries meeting this description (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa as examples), and

Whereas, land acknowledgments have grown in use as a tool to start conversations around historical witnessing and reconciliation in settler colonialist countries.

Therefore, be it enacted, that the following customized version of the land acknowledgment created by the Electa Quinney Institute of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is added to El Lexhatx Section F as a new subsection:

Quote41. LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Kingdom of Talossa acknowledges it is located on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America's largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin's sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present.

Testing the waters here among fellow Sci-Fi and Whiskey fans.
Would there be any interest in having a national Sci-Fi & Whiskey watch party?

I am thinking specifically of the MST3K episode where they watch one of our national films: Manos and the Hands of Fate.
This would be doubly patriotic as MST3K is considered our national programme.

Here is the tenth episode in Fora Talossa's history series, This Month in Talossan History. Reviewing the month of March in the Kingdom's history.
