As the initiator of this process in my request for an advisory opinion, I would like, if allowed, to publicly state that at no time did I as Sovereign wish to or intend to fail to fulfill my Organic responsibilities. Rather, when presented with a conflict in statutory law, I felt it was my obligation to seek out advice before exposing the kingdom to potential litigation. I'm sure many are frustrated by this process, but as with all other matters that come before me, I take this responsibility quite seriously and I hope it is resolved quickly.

We are pleased and proud to act on the advice of Our Squirrel King of Arms, his pursuivants, and the other members of the College of Arms to affirm and announce publicly the Royal honours granted to two worthy citizens of Our Kingdom.

WHEREAS there have come before Us certain honourable and dutiful citizens of Talossa requesting Our favour, which loyal subjects have humbly petitioned that We, by virtue of the Royal power conferred only unto Us, might grant and confer unto them, and their lawful heirs, a coat of arms; and

WHEREAS We derive from Our Royal grace and favour both the commission and the power to confer achievements of arms as a gift from Us, and to issue in such matters a Royal proclamation with the Great Seal of the Kingdom; and

Given under Our hand Royal at the city of Riverside this twentieth day of April, being the Tafsut Imazighen Honours, in the year of salvation 2026, of the independence of Talossa the forty-seventh, and of Our reign the second.

April 20 is fast approaching as the next Day of Honours. We have a couple future armigers in the works, including one I worked on for S:reu Moin. I would like to award them all but I will need the Coletx to help me determine who is eligible (and maybe help in preparing the grant). From what I can see The Foxmouth Pursuivant @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be  prepared a grant also. Anyone else?

-Txec R/REH

The Queen and I wish all Talossans a very Happy Easter. We hope each of you take time today to reflect on the good that is within all of us as we move through the seasons of life. Some of us are religious, some of us are not, but all of us can find purpose and joy in each other. We hope this day finds all of you well and that you allow yourselves at least a moment of inner peace.

Els Zuavs is a cultural organization, working to defend the throne and the country by creating, propagating, and promoting all work of a Talossan nature.  Anyone is welcome to enlist, but advancement must be earned.  Seniority is irrelevant, potential is irrelevant, and politics is irrelevant.  Instead, the guiding principle for promotion within the Zuavs is accomplishment.  The only way to be promoted within the ranks is through actual achievement.

When you see someone with a rank in the Zuavs, then you will know that they earned it.

This thread will contain all announcements for the Zuavs, including any policy changes and all promotions.  You may also post here if you wish to enlist or if you have a question or comment about something.

Azul,

How hard would it be for us to establish some kind of 24 hour Talossan radio station playing the hits of the kingdom? I have no knowledge of this but it was something I saw another micronation doing and I thought I'd bring it up.

-Txec R

So I bought two bottles of scotch yesterday. One is for "everyday" sipping (I don't drink it every day, not even every week so no intervention required!) and the other is for my upcoming 54th birthday. I picked up the Oban 14 for casual scotch evenings and Highland Park 18 for my birthday and other celebratory type of days.

I'm old school so I sipped the Oban while watching my favorite Star Trek series, Voyager. I was pleased with the flavor of the Oban.

I'm very much looking forward to next week when I can try the Highland Park! It will be my first bottle of 18 year old scotch. Has anyone tried it?

-Txec R

Happy New Year and Happy Flip Molinar Day from the Queen and I. May the new year bring many blessings!

We, TXEC by the Grace of God King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk, Azul àd ár citaxhiens es cestours:

Today marks the 46th anniversary of our Kingdom's founding. Nearly half a century ago, Robert Madison dreamed an impossible dream that became a living reality. The Kingdom of Talossa may have begun as a 'silly notion' in a Milwaukee bedroom, and perhaps in some ways it still is—but it has thrived, evolved, and matured into a resilient nation.

The past year has tested us, yet it has also been a season of remarkable growth. We have welcomed new citizens into our fold, conducted two general elections, and faced internal strife with a steadfastness that defines us. We Talossans are a unique people: resilient, idealistic, and always carrying a necessary touch of the magical.

Last Independence Day, I proposed two themes for our year: Community and Partnership. Looking back, I see those themes in action despite the miles between us. Whether through the TMT special edition, the Fantasy Hockey League, or our 'Coffee With the King' sessions, we have found joy in simply being together. Partnership was equally evident in our leaders, who chose to do what was required rather than what was easy during our most serious moments. While election seasons often bring incivility, I remain hopeful that this new government will rise to its own high standards while honoring the foundations laid by previous administrations. Our democracy is strong; it is our shared duty to keep it so.

Because of this, I am renewing our commitment to Community and Partnership for the coming year. While we rallied as a people, we also recognized that pockets of distrust remain. Talossa has the opportunity to rise above the fray and prove to the world that our 46-year experiment is not just surviving, but thriving. We must reject cruelty and demagoguery, striving instead to be what John Winthrop first envisioned and Ronald Reagan later championed: 'a shining city on a hill.'

I close today with the same words I shared last year, for their poignancy has only grown: What we have is precious. We must cherish it, foster it, and allow it to flourish. Let us work as one community to welcome new citizens, to speak and use el Glheþ as often as possible, and to weed our garden of anything that threatens our joy. We have a forty-six-year history that is rich, unique, and entirely our own. Let us honor it together.

The Queen and I mourn the passing of our royal cat Oreo. He was our baby from 2010-2025.

I am thankful to the people of Talossa and for all the creativity, perseverance, and even the strife. We are an amazing people and I look forward to many more years to come.

The Royal Commission on Immigration has concluded its work and makes the following recommendations issued via Letters Patent from His Majesty, King Txec.

The Royal Commission encourages the government yet to be elected for the 62nd Cosa to enact the following procedures, of which none require legislation:

• Revive the Talossa Assistant Program. There are many suggestions as to how this could be enacted, including as a requirement for gaining seats in the Cosa (this would require legislation). Other ideas include inviting recent immigrants to participate. Quite obviously, the method is up for debate, however, it is clear that in the days when new immigrants had a TA, they felt more engaged and stayed active in the long term.
• The Prime Minister's Patriotic Award has long been dormant. It should be one more method employed to encourage citizen participation in the immigration process.
• The New Citizen's Guide, while still relevant, could use some refining and refreshing to update it. .
• A renewed push for our existing institutions. For example, it used to be commonplace that new immigrants underwent the process to design and be awarded a Coat of Arms. This valued institution stands nearly dormant. It is also an excellent source of micronational activity.
• The King would like to begin issuing Royal Charters, granting special status to Talossan organizations and businesses, sporting events, and charities. While this does not require legislation, the King would gladly work with MC's to craft a bill enshrining this into El. Lexhatx.
• Continue with diplomatic efforts, led by the King and the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The Royal Commission on Immigrations recognizes that progress has been made in the area of immigration and celebrates our newest citizens. Significant work still needs to be done to continue to grow the Kingdom. As one member of the commission asked, the intent is not simply to inflate our numbers. It is to ensure the longevity of our Kingdom which has stood and grown for decades as a testament to its people.

We, TXEC by the Grace of God, King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk, Azul àd ár citaxhiens es cestours:

Having thought fit to dissolve this present sixty-first Cosa of the Kingdom of Talossa, do to that end publish this Our proclamation royal, hereby dissolving the said Cosa accordingly; and do discharge and excuse the Members of that Cosa from their meeting and attendance thereat from the conclusion of this month instant. And We being desirous and resolved for the better governance of these Our realms to have the advice of Our people in the Ziu assembled, do hereby make known to all Our loyal commons, knights, and nobles Our royal will and pleasure to call and assemble a new Cosa, and do hereby further declare that We have given order that Our Chancery and Secretary of State do forthwith issue out writs and ballots in due form, and according to law, for the election of a new sixty-second Cosa as well as Senators for Fiovă, Florenciă and Maricopa in their regular rotation.

Further, We desire at this time most heartily to thank and congratulate, on Our own behalf and that of the entire Talossan nation, the citizens who served in this now-dissolved sixty-first Cosa, especially thanking Dame Miestră Schivă for her faithful service as Our Seneschal during this last Cosa, and all the other members of the Government who so generously give of their time and effort for the good of our nation. Further thanks are due to Sir Gödafrïeu Válcadác'h, Mximo Carbonel, and Txoteu Davinescu, whose present distinguished terms of service in the Senäts will end with the upcoming election.

Given under Our hand Royal at the city of Riverside this twenty-sixth day of October, in the year of salvation 2025, of the independence of Talossa the forty-sixth, and of Our reign the first.

I'm very pleased to share an article from Milwaukee Magazine. Talossa is featured prominently on the cover, and an excellent article, for which I was interviewed over the summer, is also included. I'm excited when we get positive press coverage and this is a day to celebrate!

We, TXEC by the Grace of God King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk, Azul àd ár citaxhiens es cestours:

Upon advice from our Seneschal, Dame Miestrâ Schivâ, we happily appoint our faithful friend and servant Eðo Grischun to serve on the 62nd General Election Electoral Commission, with our thanks for his willingness to serve in this vital role.

Done under Our Hand Royal at our palace in the city of Riverside in California, the province of Maricopa, this 8th day of October, in the year of salvation 2025, the 46th of the Independence of Talossa, and of Our reign the 1st.

As I reflect upon today, the 13th anniversary of my citizenship, I smile warmly remembering all the people I've come to know, some of whom are either no longer with us by choice and some who are no longer with us for other, sad reasons.

Thirteen years is a long time, and I have accomplished much in those years. From the early years as RUMP leader and Seneschal to my accession nearly a year ago to the Throne, I am reminded time and time again just how much Talossa means to me and how much it has changed me.

My sincere hope is that my kingdom continues to thrive and grow and become much more than it was intended when King Robert founded it all those many years ago. Civility, grace, honor, humor - all virtues that we Talossans should strive for - have at times been missing. However, I have confidence in the people of this kingdom and in our future.

Long live Talossa!

Speaking of SciFi, I recently found a SciFi game that had all the elements I wanted - space flight, space battles, crafting, world building, etc. No Man's Sky is that game. I've been immersed in it so much, that I've been making planets after Talossan provinces, using Talossan to describe materials, etc. it's been real fun. Anyone else play? I'd love to make one of the planets a virtual Talossa.

Azul,

As it was recommended to me by Sir X. Pol Briga @xpb to suggest a book to begin on August 1st, I have given it some thought and settled on a book that is not difficult but also is a classic.

Starting on August 1, 2025, the Talossan Book Club will be reading:

The Call of the Wild, by Jack London.

We will have check-ins on August 15, 2025 and September 1, 2025. I will post some guiding questions in this thread prior to each check-in discussion.

If you are planning on participating in this inaugural event, please let me know below. I would like to have a list to help keep readers motivated.

GIVEN the importance of rock and roll, heavy metal, and an unholy aesthetic appeal of the darkness to not only many Talossans but many of our Cestour friends in the Greater Talossan Area;

AND GIVEN that he gave his final live performance on this Earth plane seated on a Black Throne of Evil, in line with the best Talossan traditions of ridiculous grandeur and pomposity;

AND GIVEN that it should be everyone's goal to be living their fullest life of all to within a month of our deaths;

THE KINGDOM OF TALOSSA notes with sadness the departure of John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne on an extended tour of Valhalla, and offers condolences to his friends, family, and fans.
