I wish to propose a meeting/discussion as to the Royal Society's preferred referencing style for bibliographies.

There being many options to choose from, for example, Harvard, Chicago, Modern Language Association (MLA), APA (American Psychological Association) Et Al.... Or we could create our own style (which would be very us!).

An Example of our own referencing could be:
Talossan Wordsmith Association Theoretical style (TWATS): Number of order of reference, Authors last name, first name, Middle name (if available), Title of cited work, Chapter/section Title, page, year of work cited publication, Media of cited work (cocktail napkin/website/book/ect), City of publication, Province of Publication, Last beverage consumed at time of reference, date of beverage when said consumed, ISBN/Website address/link to pdf or photograph if possible.
In text citation, last name, order of reference, first 3 letters of beverage.

Example: "The answer to Life... the universe....  and everything ... is ... 42" (Adams,1,lem)

1. Adams, Douglas, Noel, "The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy",27, 182, 2005, book, London, Cezambre, lemonade, 03/12/25, ISBN 0330438956, can be read: https://www.deyeshigh.co.uk/downloads/literacy/world_book_day/the_hitchhiker_s_guide_to_the_galaxy.pdf 

Greetings to all those of academic persuasion,

As the newly appointed President of the Royal Society, I hereby announce The Royal Society Rejuvenation Project!

All those who have reached out for membership within the last 5 years, I call to submit your papers and lectures, That of 2500, and for the moment using the Harvard referencing style, however, I am looking to develop a native referencing style. There is no direct topic required, I am a sociologist and cultural theorist, a bent towards topics of use to the nation, be it economic, social or educational.

All Fellows and Sinor fellows are encouraged to post their positions below as I am looking to develop an Education and Editorial Board.

As Some of you may know, my vision for the Society is to begin a Micronational Studies Academic journal, with the view to working collaboratively with fellow micronations as well as micronational entities who have an interest in the study of our societies and cultures. We also are in need of a web developer for a website for this endeavour.

I also wish to begin looking into the feasibility of a Talossan Educational institution that can provide training and academic support and supervision for Academic Thesis and qualifications.

It's an interesting world we live in, and I feel it's our job as La Società Rexhital per l'Avançamaintsch del Säp to study it and share it!


 

In the view of devopling a micronational jeronal (more to follow), we are looking for an avalible devoper or softwear technition to set us up with a website.
I am told that popular web-creation platforms are wordpress.com, wix.com and weebly.com. Relojo-Howell suggested that it's also worth looking into the Public Knowledge Project: this provides Open Journal Systems (OJS), software designed to support the setting up and management of open access journals.

If anyone has any intrest, please state below!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Firstly...

Are you aware that's this: https://youtu.be/c1T6NF7PkcA?si=naeqCEFRJ4wW-TWs

Is your state's official anthem?

Secondly...


Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?!


Thirdly

... yes ok sure.... is it a bop... but...

Therefore

A FREEEKING SLIDE WISTLE?! WITH PLOKA MUSIC... IN A ANTHEM?!

sincerely

A British housed cazabiran you may have accidentally given myself a hernia trying not to wake my sleeping beside me partner with the the most barely suppressed laughter and until now no idea how to spell the states name correctly.

Stellaris is a 4X space game made by paradox interactive.

Now, at the risk of casuing uproar, what traits would a talossan unified earth government have? For that matter what would the species trait be?

I currently have the species traits set at: intelligent, Natural sociologists, quarrelsome, unruly and ingenious.

Government ethics:
Fanatic egalitarian and materialist, as I wasn't sure if we would be pro or against xenophilia, given our history.

Authority: democratic

Civics: idealistic foundation, byzantine democracy

Origin is prosperous unification.

I can get a list of the other options if that would help.

Does anyone else play stallaris? There is even a way for multilayer and co-op in the same empire. Very wargame, much fun.

Please contact me if you find yourself in possession of any level of musical talent for a forthcoming project

Azul everybody,

So, firstly, please pardon my absence, I recently got diagnosed with Autism, PTSD, Cronic Orchialgia and recently also recovered from Covid, so have had a lot on my plate for the last few months.

I apologise to both my party, the coalition and the citizens of Talossa and promise that now I am better I will return to our scheduled programming.

I have attempted to make a wiki account and answered the security question (which itself is out of date btw)

It didn't work, any help?

There are really only two pieces of our great nation. The Progressives and the Moderates. Whatever you think about the our honorable members across the political divide, all of their efforts are Progressive in order to keep our country going forward. The Moderates are the other half that has contributed to the structure's longevity over the years. Without this arrangement, our country will be lost, a land with ideas begun but never completed. Without the past to guide us we have no future.

The LCC must now be the party of the moderates, the conservators of our nation.
The moderate voice has been lost of late, with provocateurs on both sides silencing the call for calm, resolution and bridge-building. If you want to be part of this movement, please get in contact.

Talossa must stand tall once more, this involves us all getting involved in rebuilding our nation that has been slowly chipped away at for far too long. That's why I, As Secretary General of the League of centre conservatives, offer you our manifesto for the upcoming elections.

Talossa Standing Tall
Under the next Cosa, Talossa will reach its 42nd anniversary since our founding. The LCC will Endeavour to make a spectacle of this momentous event, for as we all know 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.We will make this year, the year of Talossa. Current plans for events include the launching of Talossa's second satellite to space, Organising trips across our great country (from Atatürk, Cezembre to Vuode),  arranging a Talossan flag be sent to Pengupats as well as many parties (both online and hopefully face to face) and so much more. Pride in our nation and what makes us interesting is what draws people to talossa.

Talossa is a shining beacon.
We are a great nation made up of many wonderful citizens and if we are elected to head the next cosa we want to show our nation to the world. We are what many Micronations have aspired to be and many other nations have followed in our footsteps. I propose we start taking an active role on the world stage including international talks and summits, re-invigorating our international outreach in the form of charitable organizations and donations. Our outreach will pay dividends to our wider reach and will drive up engagement and recruitment.

Immigrate and Flourish
As our Seneschal has noted in a recent address, we seldom get new immigrants to our country who get involved and stay involved in any meaningful way.  This should be priorities #1, #2, and #3 for any government.  Restart the TalossaAssistant program, then appoint a very active citizen as Minister for New Citizen Engagement (with a cooler name) in place of a Minister of Defense or Foreign Minister.  Focus on solving our real problems, rather than fighting an endless culture war.

Use It or Lose It
When few people in the government care about the language, is it any wonder that it seems like an abandoned hobby?  The only way for us to develop familiarity with the language is exposure -- use it and see others use it!  Government announcements should be at least partially in Talossan whenever possible.  Simple phrases should be translated for easy reference and deployed for style and profit.  ¡Cumpetens!

A Talossa You Can Hold In Your Hands.
There can be an overall larger focus on a physical and real Talossa, including a metal seal for the king for putting wax seals on official documents, a physical l'Chronicla, ID cards and citizenship certificates, and making TalossaWare a reality once more with real physical merchandise. Part of what's wrong with Talossa is that it's becoming a generic internet club. Make our country real.

We will restart the process of issuing talossan ID Cards, updating on previous designs. This will include a full citizenship certificate as well as a smaller card that can be home printed.
I also intend to ask his majesty and the college of arms to begin the process of forming an order of knighthoods for those who aid in our charitable outreach programs.

Calm, Cosididered Reform

We, the League of Centre Conservatives, see that support for the "Talossa Shall Choose Its King Amendment" stems not from any magical properties of a term length of seven years, but rather out of general discontent with the current Monarch. Consequently, we also see that the current Monarch is in the process of doing grave damage to the noble institution of the Monarchy, which we believe should, for the most part, continue to exist exactly as it does today. We will endeavour to modify the "Talossa Shall Choose Its King Amendment" to change its focus from the periodic election of a new King to providing a periodic opportunity to have a vote of no confidence in the current King. This will reaffirm the lifetime nature of the Office while making it easier to remove a King who is not performing well in the role.

Talossa must have a king, with all its history, pomp, and circumstance which has made our country great. We must end the turmoil that has made us look inward at internal conflicts and begin rebuilding, starting a new era of our nation where we can stand tall once more. We can reemerge like the groundhog in the spring to the fresh new world that eagerly awaits us.

Dialogue and non-public arguments are necessary to begin the rebuilding of our nation. Under my leadership, I have already begun the process of cross-party discussions with the free democrats' leadership as an attempt to keep an open line of communication between us both so that we can begin to avoid the unpleasantness we have been witnessing over the last few years.

Join the League of Center Conservatives
If you are interested in joining the league, please comment below, get in contact by personal message, or look us up on Facebook. Also check out our new official party political poster attached!

As Conservative, I will always try to keep to the status quo, where I can. Secession is a big step and not one to be taken lightly.
We know where this road leads, history will repeat itself and the trauma will be passed to the next generation of citizens. We must end this cycle.

As speaker I have neglected my duties these last month's and I wish to apologize humbly to the chamber. I recently got discharged from hospital after some surgery so thankfully I can get more involved now.

Honarable members, please come to order.
May the voting and discussion commence on this the third Clark of the 55th Cosa. Standard rules apply, I also wish for party representatives to make a statement to the house as to voting if they so wish.

As of the passing it is now a required for we of the committee greenlight bills to be Clarked.
Myself (as speaker), the Mencai and the attorney general will make it known here our opinions as to the clarking of such bills.

I would request this post is pinned to ease.

Order Order!

I call to order the first seating of the 55th Cosa.

For ease of discussion and moderation please indicate the bill in question OR it RZ number.

Firstly I wish to call The Seneschal ( @Miestră Schivă, UrN ) to the dispatch box for there opening statements, followed by a official retort from the Opposition (preferably from a member of the chamber) with a retort. Any further discussion is invited after these opening statements. Please address each other though the chair.
Voting Is Open, but I encourage the honorable members of the chamber to hear opening statements.

(I am trialing this format of discussion, none of the above is Organically official, feedback welcomed but preferably privately, encouraging pomp, ceremony and measured arguments )

Hear Ye Hear YE!

My Guys, Gals and non-binary pals
It was the 80's since we Talossans stepped foot on our provincial soil. I intend to help organize a trip back to the island so we may re-plant our flag where it belongs. There is a company based out of st malo France that charters boats out to the island for as little as 16 euros a head.
Those who are interested let me know :D
