Wittenberg / Ministry of Culture Reconvenes SIGN
January 06, 2022, 03:18:53 PM
As newly appointed Culture Minister, I would like to personally invite all language heads in Talossa to discuss our ever increasing need for BASIC language learning materials for those interested in learning our national tongue.

As we are pressed for time before the end of this Term and we are all busy with other responsibilities, I would like to set just 1 goal for  CultMin before the next election: COMPLETE the updated Vocabulary Primer on Memrise and offer it to all citizens so that we may use more Talossan in our day to day parlance on here.

I am able to do all the nitty-gritty parts of making the course, I would just like some volunteers for the audio portion of the course.

RESULTS OF THE 1ST CLARK OF THE 56 COSA RELEASED
56RZ1 (Talossa Shall Choose its King Act) FAILS with 90P/77C/33A
    After months of negotiation and a contentious election, the planned reform for the powers and duties of the monarchy fails to garner enough votes. It is uncertain if the government will pursue further action on this issue.

56RZ2 (The Talossan Criminal Law Reform Bill #1) PASSES with 167P/16C/17A
Several key reforms to the Talossan law codes have been enacted with the passing of this bill. Namely, the assimilation of certain statutes previously adopted wholesale from Wisconsin law into native Talossan law. This reform package targets key statutes regarding classes of misdemeanours and felonies such as unlawful usage of official Government and Royal seals and emblems and damages caused by any individual to public records and archives.

OFFICIAL STATE OPENING OF THE ZIU COMING SOON
After a series of delays, the government is poised to begin the official opening of the Ziu. The matter of who will take on the role of Leader of the Opposition is still being sorted out by relevant parties. A video of the event will be created for the national archive and will be provided as soon as it is available.

CRIMINAL LAW REFORM BILL #2 PROPOSED
Following the passage of the first part of a series of law code reforms, this 2nd bill will specifically target offences perpetrated by individuals who bring Talossa into disrepute. It contains amendments to current statutes specifically addressing how the Ministry of Justice and the Talossan Criminal Justice System would act in situations relevant to such matters mentioned.

PROCEDURAL REFORMS FOR LEGISLATION PROPOSED
Two reform packages have been proposed that would address current standards of legislation in an attempt to make more efficient how bills are taken on and debated.
    Proposal 1 (A Two-Reading System) would require all bills to be reviewed and approved by el Comità da Redacziun Legislatïu (Legislative Advisory Committee of Talossa aka CRL) before it is presented for a vote in the general body of the Ziu.
    Proposal 2 (Separate Cosă and Senäts Debates) would decisively separate the two chambers of the Ziu as it pertains to debating, amending and voting on bills. It would also allow for the two chambers to potentially create their own procedures regarding how they would carry on this task.

TALOSSASSISTANT PROGRAMME REVIVED
The Ministry of Interior is encouraging all citizens to participate in the revival of the TalossAssitant Programme in an attempt to generate more activity and interactions within the Immigration subforum. Several volunteers have spoken up and will be assigned to prospective citizens on demand.

I'd like to announce the appointment of Ian Plätschisch as Deputy Secretary for Immigration.

These are trying times and the government believes an office as critical as Immigration should have a dedicated public servant at its helm. Sen. Plätschisch has proven himself a good administrator and will do well in this new position.

Wittenberg / Reviving the TalossAssistant Programme
August 01, 2021, 03:35:35 AM
My fellow Talossans, friends and colleagues, in accordance with my duties as minister of Interior, I would like to make a public appeal in an effort to revive this vital institution. I don't need to recite numbers to point out that the number of new, active citizens in Talossa is worryingly low. There are many issues that contribute to this problem, many of them require complex and multifaceted solutions, but the one thing we can solve very easily is reviving the TalossAssistant Programme.

While the rate and number of applicants are relatively the same, the number of people who ACTUALLY stick around and PARTICIPATE in Talossa is very low. The fact that prospects are just dropped off at the immigration sub-forum to fend for themselves without any committed assistance absolutely does not help. How can we expect them to develop the level of respect and patriotism we all feel towards this country when we don't bother giving them a helping and guiding hand to understand how Talossa works let alone why they should bother actually staying? In my opinion, it is a civic duty of ALL Talossans to help encourage new folks to appreciate Talossa the way we all do.

In an effort to revive this vital institution, I hope to appeal to all of you so that you volunteer to help the Interior Ministry and our Immigration department with this task. We cannot hope to exist as a nation in the future if we cannot convince new people to participate in our national discourse. Please make your voices heard and sign up--plus we don't need a lot, 5-8 volunteers will do for a start given the number of applications we get in any 14-day period.

I hope we can get this thing up and running at the very least. We have many great programmes and policies already on the books that would truly make Talossa rich and accessible to everyone, we just need the collective effort to make it so. This is a great place to start.

Wittenberg / Domestic Migration

I'd like to request a change of province. I have flown the coop from rural Middle Tennessee to the bustling cities of the San Francisco Bay Area. I believe I'll be in the Province of Maricopa now. I'd be happy to update any and all information with the office of the Secretary of State.

A specific question in the recent survey issued by the Government reminded me of an old project of mine for Talossa that I might just revive if anyone's interested.

Talossan Broadcasting Company, which is a YouTube channel I made some years ago, has been in hiatus for awhile. I had a little chat show on there that I hosted once a week where I discuss everything Talossan with a panel of guests. Besides that though, I've always been interested in opening it up to people who want to contribute. Maybe some learning materials for new citizens or even language lectures eventually(?)

I just want to gauge interest and see if we can revive it as a community. I know we're all looking for ways to be more active on here (I know I am), so give me some feedback!
