We, the People of the Kingdom of Talossa, after the multiple violations of the rule of law and human rights in The United States, and on behalf of our people, our King, and Government, as the King announced in an earlier statement, do hereby impose the following sanctions until the United States of America regains its rule of law and follows its democratic principles according to the United States Constitution and laws, along with Talossa's principles and Organic law:-

1:- We the People of the Kingdom of Talossa hereby demand that the United States of America do formally recognise the independence of the Kingdom of Talossa;

2:- Talossa shall place an embargo on American Beers and Wines. Talossans are requested to boycott such products until the sanctions are lifted;

3:- We hereby, until the rule of law is re-established in the United States, cut off all diplomatic ties with the United State's government until the rule of law is restored and those guilty are punished. His Majesty the King shall summon the US Ambassador to sharply scold them (once an ambassador is appointed).

4:- Our final sanction is freezing all United States assets in Talossa until the Government of Talossa shall lift these sanctions.

These sanctions will be reviewed once the circumstances change in the United States of America.

El Ziu/The Ziu / [Min Foreign] Treaty with Talossa and Carcosa

June 05, 2025, 12:32:22 PM

As per El lex
2.6.4. Any Treaty or agreements with any nation, micronation or organisation, that
a) has the force of law in Talossa;
b) relates to the official recognition of a foreign nation; or
c) relates to forming or joining any sort of alliance with another nation or micronation,
will only be valid upon ratification by the Ziu.

I present to the Ziu the agreed treaty between the Kingdom of Talossa and the Kingdom of Carcosa for ratification. So I ask that the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc to include this in the July (or next) Clark with the exact text as follows for the Ziu to ratify the treaty.

The treaty is as follows:-

"Be is resolved by our joint respective governments, that The Kingdom of Talossa and the Kingdom of Carcosa by ratification in our respective governments do hereby declare in this joint treaty:-

1. The kingdoms of Talossa and Carcosa (from now on referred to as Talossa and Carcosa respectively) do formally recognise each others sovereignty for as long as our respective governments consent
2. Each nation of Talossa and Carcosa shall set up "Embassies" and appoint ambassadors to represent our nations, and to create a point of contact for each nation. Whilst formally maintaining diplomatic relations

Should the Ziu ratify this treaty, and Carcosa's government does the same, the treaty shall come into force.

(As this is not legislation and isn't something that can easily be amended without reopening negotiations, I do not believe under the law this needs to go to the hopper, but it is something that requires a vote in the Ziu hence asking the SoS to Clark this on the next available Clark)

El Ziu/The Ziu / [MinForeign] Statement on goals for the 61st Ziu

May 14, 2025, 07:56:50 AM

The ministry of Foreign Affairs, over the course of the coming Ziu, shall work with HM the King to reach out to other micronations, to put Talossa in even greater awareness and to find good allies and partners.
The core aims shall be:-

* Look for micronations that share common values and principles with the laws and citizens of Talossa and reach out to them
* Strengthen diplomatic ties with others in the community of micronations
* Look at how Talossa may participate in events hosted by groups of micronations

We hope to work towards these goals over the course of the incoming Ziu session which we believe will be of benefit to Talossa. We will be willing to hear out requests from citizens with offers of help/ recommendations, and to other micronations, to hear and contemplate individual proposals from foreign nations.

Wittenberg / FreeDem Statement on the King

December 17, 2022, 10:59:21 AM

Time and again, the Talossan National Congress refuse to engage on the subject of monarchy reform. Those "reforms" they do espouse – such as allowing the King to choose his own successor – are diametrically opposed to the views of the Free Democrats of Talossa. When they are not a return to the old status quo, they suggest an even worse position.
Moreover, the close affiliation between the King and the TNC – whose leader he named as his stand-in during the entire Cosa term he abandoned his Kingdom – raises questions about the King's political impartiality, which is central to maintaining trust in our current Constitutional Monarchy. Add to this the King's use of his legislative veto to defend his own power and position (or even worse, based on personal preference), and – probably worse of all – his simple absence from Talossa for months at a time, popping in only rarely to grant us his presence.

If, on the other hand, the King does miraculously become more active if the TNC take over governance, that will just be a further sign to us of his political partiality and thus his disqualification from being a Constitutional Monarch. It is clear that further progress is not going to be possible whilst King John rules the roost.
So, the King must abdicate or resign, as he has constantly demonstrated he has little or no interest in the role. If he will not do so, he must be removed by the lawful method of Organic Law amendment.

As to how to choose a new Monarch, this is a question on which we welcome public debate. However – given his obvious political partiality – it seems clear that the King must not be simply entitled to choose his own successor. When he chose a Regent a few years ago, he chose the person most guaranteed to outrage reformist and republican opinion. It seems a pretty good bet he'd do something similar with regard to his successor – maybe even the exact same thing.

With the Free Democrats position on this now made clear, I would ask the TNC: how can you continue to support a monarch who does not support or engage with his country?
And further to this, given the clear conflicts of interest that will arise if the TNC do gain power, how would the TNC's defence of the absent King not be seen as anything but political pandering? A "vicious circle" of political corruption seems clear: the TNC defends the King, so the King favours the TNC.

The Free Democrats' answer is that the King has demonstrated he is not fit to be monarch and must either step down or be removed, for the sake of future political stability in Talossa. There is no way forward with John continuing as King. And the TNC need to answer why they continue to prop up someone who's job is to help heal divides in political dives, yet due to his actions, has just caused those divides to become chasms that he cannot close.

The King MUST GO!

Free Democrats / FreeDem statement on the TNC

December 17, 2022, 10:57:23 AM

The Talossan National Cowards... I mean Congress, have been dodging debating us directly on King, or really working with us directly for ages and when they did agree to anything they betrayed their word and agreements with us, and became ultra right wing, not caring about Talossa but self preservation and propping up an essentially worthless monarch, we proposed the Boycott as a last ditch effort to try to get them to engage, which the TNC responded with the cowards way out and avoided debate.

Then when we had ended the boycott, as we realised the stubbornness in the TNC won't allow them to see reason, months later they proposed something that was not acceptable and was in all honesty a step backwards and a non starter for us in the FreeDems, on the whole, and felt like a slap in the face to many of us.

Outside of this, was there a public discussion to engage us in what might pass? Was there a private reaching out? No, there were just months of dead air, with no engagement from the TNC at all, after repeated attempts to get them to engage.

The TNC might seem reasonable at first, but if you look closer, all they care about is power and restoring a "divine right" monarchy upon us, which the rest of the world figured out long ago only hampers progress and delivers little of anything at all to the people. Which it seems is TNC policy on the monarchy.

So due to all of the above, let me make it clear, under NO circumstances will the FreeDems enter a coalition with the the TNC, nor shall we accept their framing of the Boycott (which did help prove a point, and due to the silence and non engagement for months just proves that even if we didn't do the boycott, we would still be in the same position with reforms now)

We do not see the TNC being fit for governance especially with them so brazenly supporting a Monarch that is way to political and absent when people are running Talossa he doesn't agree with, therefore standing in the way of good governance which the TNC has been PROPPING UP by not engaging with us in any meaningful way, and blindly shouting their support for a King that has been pretty much absent and has mostly abandoned Talossa since the days of the RUMP governments years ago.

So to make things clear, due to all of this, A) we will not agree to a coalition with the TNC
And B) the King must abdicate or be removed from the throne

Free Democrats / Free Democrat Election Platform (Statement)

December 02, 2022, 09:21:40 PM

As we look to the next election, the task has fallen to myself to lead the party into the Next Cosa, and for this election there is one issue and one issue alone that I will, along with those who stand with us, is simple. King John has, since the RUMP days has treated subsequent governments with contempt, and the last few years has just been almost absent from Talossan life. Has vetoed legislation that he personally did not like, and has acted improper with how the world expects a constitutional monarch to behave, regardless of the powers the Monarch has, they should be in line with the government of the day in a democratic society that we have in Talossa, and for far to long Talossa has been held back by the inactive and unreachable "King" John.

The TNC is obviously favoured by the King, and if they gain power, it is likely that any hard-fought battles on monarchy will be flushed down the toilet. Especially if they gain a 2/3rd majority. This Cannot happen.

We in the FreeDems demand and will stand on one thing in the coming Election Cycle, REMOVING King John from the throne, and pushing for a more unbiased monarch before we move forward with any reforms, as the Monarch is standing in the way of progress, and has time and time again proved that he does not respect the office which he holds, and the country he serves, if he did, he would have been doing his job and been more active the last few years, instead he has been a monarch in hiding,

The only way we can and will move forward as a country is when this useless King is removed from power and replaced with someone upto the tasks the office entails. And the King MUST NOT have a say in the successor, the way forward on that is an issue to be decided later, but The King must either abdicate or be removed from office. And that will be our goal in the next Cosa.

Appointment of a new Poet Laureate

We at the Ministry of Culture and the government would like to thank @Óïn Ursüm for his decade of service as our poet laureate, and are saddened to hear his resignation.

As this position is now vacant, it falls to the Minister of Culture to recommend the successor, who we in the Ministry, and government cannot think of a better replacement than the recent winner of the El Pretz Per Tomas Prize, the poetry competition.

So as the Minister of Culture, I recommend to @King John to appoint @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat as the new Poet laureate of Talossa

I humbly request the colleges assistance from the college, as Minister for Culture, in order to create designs related to "Talossan versions of Letters Patent, State Awards, and other physical forms of the trappings of Monarchy and chivalry" so that these might be presented to the Ziu to be adopted for formal usage within the Kingdom of Talossa.

Wittenberg / Question for the TNC

June 01, 2022, 07:00:01 PM

Hi TNC, as you know I am a big supporter of the FreeDems, however, I feel that despite obvious political differences, I myself, have generally had good interactions with individual members of your party, so I hope that you see this what it is, not trying to be threatening, or force your hand with anything, but genuinely wanting to know what you would say in response to what I am about to ask.

First of all, Monarchy reform, as I understand it was an electoral promise that was stated, whether campaigned on or not, it has been promised in some way by your party to the electorate.
I will not comment on things under the Previous Seneschal as I do not know enough about that situation, but I will say that he did accept that he may have overstepped and apologised publicly about it, which did not have a response from your party at the time, which although disappointing to see, I can also see that time might have been needed to calm things down following how both sides perceived things differently.

But then, in the election campaign, there were several attempts to seriously engage with a political discourse with the TNC, which were met with silence, on a variety of issues, including asking for clarification on your position on Monarchy reform, which again was met with silence.

So, we come to now, where the FreeDems have committed to blockading legislation, which is antagonistic in nature, is the only time we have been able to get any sort of comment from yourselves on the issue.

Given the track record of not being open to discussing reforms before this, and it being a top issue for us, and that there is support for amongst the electorate, with a majority of Seats in the Cosa won by those who support reforms (including your own party, who unless your position has changed, is still supporting monarchy reforms), but not willing to discuss it, what other options did we have to even make you comment commenting on Monarchy reform?

Yes, in the past there have been mistakes from our party and your own, and has led to clashes, but we have tried to be honest and reasonable in engaging with you during the last elections, and seeking your stance now on reforms, but with nothing forthcoming, we have had to take this drastic action, as we felt there was no other way.
We knew the risks, and were prepared for the flack that came our way for *Standing up for what the electorate voted for* I do wish we didn't need to come to this, but with being met with silence, we had little choice. So I ask, what more could we have done to engage with you on this issue before we felt we were forced to take this position we are in now?

As, as far as I see it, and despite the respect I have for the sincerity of the other side wanting what is best for the country, I don't see how we could have proceeded otherwise, as your loud silence on this issue, one way or another could not continue, you may call it threatening or other things, which I grant it is, but it is also our last resort to stand up for the rights of the Talossan people, and their electoral wishes being put into action.

So once again I ask, what more could we have done?

El Müstair del Funal/The Hopper Archive / Slight Fix to Senechal elections

May 01, 2022, 01:39:24 PM

Thought id put my ideas for slight tweaks here.

Whereas, the recent Senechal elections have revealed a flaw,

Whereas, it is not fair on MC's to force them to vote for their opposition, in a two candidate race

Therefore, the following current text of law :-

QuoteThe method of election of a Seneschál shall be Ranked Choice Voting. Each member of the Cosâ shall have as many votes in the election as the seats which he hold in the Cosâ, but shall cast his votes as one bloc and have no divided conscience. The candidates for each such election shall be nominated by each political party which shall have earned representation in the Cosâ at the most recent general election. (54RZ23) (55RZ22)

No member of the Cosâ may abstain in the election of a Seneschál, and shall rank on his ballot at least two distinct preferences, which itself shall be made public. (54RZ23)

Shall be replaced by:-

QuoteThe method of election of a Seneschál shall be Ranked Choice Voting for 3 or more candidates, for 2, a straight majority vote of the Cosa will be required, limited to voting to one candidate only.. Each member of the Cosâ shall have as many votes in the election as the seats which they hold in the Cosâ, but shall cast their votes as one bloc and have no divided conscience. The candidates for each such election shall be nominated by each political party which shall have earned representation in the Cosâ at the most recent general election (54RZ23) (55RZ22)

No member of the Cosâ may abstain in the election of a Seneschál, and shall rank on their ballot at least two distinct preferences, which itself shall be made public. If the Cosa member wishes to, as a second or third preference, they shall be able to vote for any sitting Cosa member, as long as the First preference vote is for one of the named candidates in the election.

Atatürk / House Of Commons, 57th Ziu

April 01, 2022, 10:30:19 PM

The provisional votes for the Provincial HOC is as follows,

FREEDEMS   2
TALOSSAN NATIONAL CONGRESS   1
ABSTAIN   1
TNC   3
FREEDEM   3
ATATURK   1

Unless i am mistaken, this translates to

FreeDems:- 10 seats
TNC:- 8 seats
Ataturk: 2 seats

(if i have got things wrong please let me know)

These are of course, currently provisional, until the electoral commision has validated the election.

Until this time, i thought it would be good to start the thread for the new session and invite all party leaders to say who they would like to assign their seats to.
