Cézembre / Provincial flag
January 03, 2025, 12:46:07 PM
Dear fellow Cézembreans

I'd like to open a discussion regarding our Provincial flag, following the question raised in this thread about Royal Academy of Vexillology.

As you may know, our flag is similar to the Breton "Gwenn ha Du".

You can read in Wikipedia:
The flag is the official banner of the region of Brittany. It is a symbol of the Breton identity used by Bretons in and outside of Brittany. For years the authorities considered the flag as a separatist symbol, but the attitude has now changed and the flag, no longer having any political connotations, may appear everywhere, even on public buildings, along with the other official flags. It is widely used throughout Brittany and can even be seen on town halls in the region. (...) The flag was created in 1923 by Morvan Marchal. He used the flag of the United States as his inspiration, seen as a symbol of freedom.

This extensive use can be witnessed in any tourist shop, as you can see below in the photos I took last week:
image2.jpegimage0 (1).jpeg

Even if I love Brittany a lot, I am kind of annoyed that we share the same flag.
For our beloved Province, what would you think about some slight changes to our flag?
It can be as simple as using the Bicoloreu Green colour instead of black, for the whole flag or for the stripes only?

Any thoughts on this?

Wittenberg / [PROPAGANDA] ideas for social media content
December 04, 2024, 11:39:57 AM
Following my nomination as PermSec of Propaganda (read here), I start this thread to collect your ideas, texts, photos, comments which will help me to create quality content on the following media :
 X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Talossa
 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Talossans
 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kingdomoftalossa/
 LinkedIn The Kingdom of Talossa
 Reddit r/talossa


In my opinion, our target should be in priority those who do not know our Nation, so be creative and imagine what could generate interest and foster immigration.

Cezembre_flag.jpg

We, members of l'Etats de Cézembre, have decided to honour the memory of our fellow citizen
Ián Tamorán, former Lord Warden,
who recently passed away.

Considering he often expressed the will to visit our beautiful Island,
be it enacted that the beach of Cézembre, located south of the Canton Zone Autorisée, will from now on be refered to as the Tamorán Beach.

Done on July 13th 2024/XLV,
þerxh Sant-Enogat, Sénéchal de Cézembre

The Green and Red Party changes its name to "Progressive Alliance" and details its 50-word statement
PROG logo.png

I took some good advice from @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu=. Green and Red colours are the one of our beloved flag "el Bicoloreu", but they are also associated with existing parties in bigger Nations.
I therefore announce the new name of the Party : long live the "Progressive Alliance" (in Talossan :  Aliançù Progreßïu), abbreviated as "PROG".

Our 50-word statement proudly remains as followed :

We strive to protect a traditional yet democratic Kingdom.
We want to continue fostering immigration, transparency, inclusivity, and goodwill among citizens.
We promote cross-party collaboration to make our Nation more visible and our government more active.
We are honest and committed.
We also think our Province is the best.

And I would like to detail our promise.

Dear Members of l'Etats de Cézembre,
as proposed in this thread, I present hereby for vote the following bill
According to Article 10 of our Constitution, please vote below this post, before Sunday 12 May, noon CET / CéST (@458 beats)
If a majority of the voters are in favour, the modified Cézembre Administration Guide will be submitted to referendum.

Whereas Senators are involved in the affairs of the whole Kingdom and not only those of their Province

Whereas there is no real interest in having elections for the Senäts organized at local level

Whereas simplicity can sometimes be the best route to efficiency

Therefore, be it enacted by L'Etats de Cézembre the following changes in the Cézembre Administration Guide, by replacing :

QuoteChapter V- The Lord Warden
Article 17.
Cézembre's delegate to the Senäts shall be known within the Province as the Lord Warden. He/she will be elected whenever this is required by the Organic Law, in an election conducted by the Sénéchal or his appointed agent, in accordance with provincial statutes. If no provincial statutes regarding the election of a Lord Warden exist, or if the provisions of provincial law regarding the election of a Lord Warden cannot be implemented for practical reasons,or if provincial statutes regarding the election of a Lord are in conflict with this Constitution or the Organic Law, the Sénéchal or his appointed agent will request the National Chancery in writing and in good time to conduct the election in accordance with National Law.

by the following :

QuoteChapter V- The Lord Warden or Lady Warden
Article 17.
Cézembre's delegate to the Senäts shall be known within the Province as the Lord Warden or Lady Warden, as preferred by the Senator. The Sénéchal de Cézembre will request the National Chancery in writing and in good time to conduct the Senator election in accordance with National Law.

Dear Members of l'Etats
I present hereby for vote the following bill proposed by @xpb.
According to Article 10 of our Constitution, please vote below this post, before Sunday 12 May, noon CET / CéST (@458 beats)
If a majority of the voters are in favour, the modified Cézembre Administration Guide will be submitted to referendum
.


Whereas some citizens have expressed the will to allow all citizens from our Province to participate in the democratic life of our assembly l'Etats (discussion)

Whereas the size of l'Etats may not be in accordance with the population of our province, with sometimes more seats that citizens

Whereas simplicity is in general the best route to efficiency

Therefore, be it enacted by L'Etats de Cézembre the following changes in the Cézembre Administration Guide, by replacing :

QuoteChapter II- L'Etats de Cézembre

Article 7. Legislative power in the Sovereign Province of Cézembre is invested in l'Etats de Cézembre. l'Etats shall consist of no more and no less than twenty (20) seats.
Seats in l'Etats de Cézembre can only be assigned to citizens of Cézembre. Citizens may hold more than one seat, but no more than six. One seat cannot be divided among nor assigned to more than one citizen.
Article 8. The chancery is requested to conduct elections to l'Etats. Elections to l'Etats shall be conducted at the same time as elections to the Cosâ and in accordance with the national election laws and rules. The Sénéchal (or the Governor-General in case the Sénéchal has been absent for more than one week) may request the chancery not to conduct those elections in no less than one week before balloting day. If the Sénéchal (or Governor-General) makes such a request, the Sénéchal (or the Governor-General) shall conduct the elections in accordance with provincial election laws and rules.
Article 9. After elections to l'Etats, each party will receive 20 numbers, which will be produced by dividing the number of votes the party received by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. The 20 highest numbers will be referred to as high quotients. In case the 20th highest number has the same value as the 21th highest number all numbers with the same value will not be considered high quotients. This will result in vacant seats in the assembly.
Each party will receive a number of seats, equal to the number of high quotients it received. Each party may divide its seats amongst Cézembrian citizens as it sees fit. If a member dies or resigns or is impeached by a motion receiving a 2/3rds vote of the L'Etats, the seats shall return to the party that assigned the seats.
Article 10. L'Etats shall have power to pass any bill into law by a simple majority vote of its Voting Members. Le Sénéchal shall send out a notification of voting period, of at least seven days. Each member shall have a prescribed amount of time in which to cast his vote (by email, telephone or forum post) before voting closes

by the following :

  • Lots of discussion about the succession of King John
    Let's give the mike to an external observer :
    Copilot, can you write a summary of the recent discussions about the succession of the king from wittenberg.talossa.com, in around 100 words?
    Copilot :
    Recent discussions on wittenberg.talossa.com have centered around the succession of the King of Talossa. The debate involves a proposed amendment that would establish a Council of Regency in the event of the King's demise, abdication, or removal. Participants have discussed various aspects of the amendment, including the possibility of electing a successor or reforming the monarchy to grant it more power. The community is actively engaged in refining the proposal, with suggestions such as a "sunset clause" to ensure timely succession and prevent the need for further amendments
    Well, not bad for an AI, but... to understand this important issue, you'd better read the discussions below :
    The Vacant Throne (We Really Mean Business Now) Amendment
    The Active Monarch Assurance Amendment
    and of course read this Message from the King

WHEREAS he has, this time again, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, culture, and

WHEREAS he will certainly spice up (with caffein) and enrich again our Talossan culture,

THEREFORE I, þerxh Sant-Enogat, a citizen in good standing of the province of Cézembre and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do by the present petition the Secretary of State @Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Bråneu Excelsio, as specified by law.

PRÜM DIKDAT




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


WHEREAS the position of Distain (in english "Deputy Prime Minister") is an extremely active position in the government, taking action for the Prime Minister in any number of the various cabinet ministries, and assisting the various ministers in completion of assigned projects.

WHEREAS the badge for the position of Distain is a very nice one, but gives some ideas for other ones


DistainBadge.png
Distain Badge

THEREFORE I , þerxh Sant-Enogat, Seneschal of the Kingdom of Talossa, issue the following Prime Dictate under the provisions of Organic Law VI.4:

The position of TRISTAIN is hereby created (in English "Deputy Deputy Prime Minister"), with the mission to assist the DISTAIN in every action he will undertake


The badge for the Tristain position is designed as followed: a hand, palm fronting, with three fingers raised, on a green field over a red field disc


TristainBadge.png
Tristain Badge


Important precision: even if it may seem logical, the position of SENESCHAL is not – I repeat, is not - renamed STAIN, and the related badge for the position is not updated to figure a hand, palm fronting, with one finger raised.

The official motto for the Tristain office is "El qi me crea isch ûn calucjeu del Avrïu"
