Yes, both of those bills are Clarkable. I archived The Charitable PermSec, Again Act by mistake (I probably checked the initial submission date). Both it and the Sentient Rights Act have passed the Hopper by the provisions of H.2.1.6, having laid in committee for thirty days.

Thank you, and I mean it.

I have, I hope understandably, been reluctant to speak publicly about the incident that sparked all this. I was deeply disgusted by it, and remain disgusted about the numerous efforts at deflection, gaslighting, whataboutism, the lack of any sort of apology or self reflection. It's disheartening, but I am relieved to see Talossa at large will not stand for harassment and I hope nobody will have to endure what I did ever again. I urge all MZs to vote for this resolution, and pledge to comply with the Ziu's wishes should it pass.

So thank you again, for the leadership you have shown, for the support you have given me in public and private, for giving me a voice when mine wasn't working so well.

Added questions on age and civil status (as on the previous census) and on education level (seems to make sense for a census).

Lastly, one small reminder that there are five bills and resolutions in the Hopper which do not need CRL review and can go straight on the Clark, just so I can restate this somewhere central where people can see it:

• The two Senses of the Ziu, but not before they have laid in the Hopper for ten days;
• The treaty ratification resolution, pursuant to H.2.1.2.2;
• The Perþonest reappointment resolution, pursuant to H.2.1.2.4;
• The Census question review bill, pursuant to C.1.2.2.2 and H.2.1.2.5.

The call for bills for the July 2025 Clark (the third of the 61st Cosă) is now open. You may post a link to a bill's Hopper thread underneath in the usual fashion, provided it has passed the Hopper according to Lex.H.2 and you are entitled to Clark bills.

I will accept for Clarking any such bills (except for any that fall foul of H.2.7) that are presented between now and June 30th 11:59 PM TST, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the CEST morning of July 1st.



Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretary of State

I don't wish to comment on the merits of the bill but I have to say this H.1.2.5 should go on some sort of handbook for how to write an addendum that is consistent in form, tone and style with the preexisting legislation.

I largely wrote and laid out the List of Seneschals page in its present form and the eras on there are more about separating different political systems/power structures than actual history.

The ones on the History page are more accurate, although the 2007 "modern" era arguably ended with Reunision and we could be considered to be in yet another era with the accession of King Txec.

The time allotted for voting on the Clark has expired.

The Cosă and Senäts have passed the following bills and resolutions, which are sent to His Majesty @King Txec for Royal Assent:

61RZ04 - The 61st Cosă Budget Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 170-0 (30 abstained), by the Senäts 7-1

61RZ05 - The Flip Molinar Ziua Auservada Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 200-0, by the Senäts 7-1

61RZ09 - The Database: End Of An Era Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 194-0 (6 abstained), by the Senäts 8-0

61RZ10 - Sense of the Ziu: The ICC and Upholding International Rule of Law
Agreed to by the Cosă 62-42 (96 abstained), by the Senäts 3-2 (3 abstained)


The Cosă and Senäts have passed the following amendment with the required supermajority:

61RZ08 - The Seneschal Appointment Anytime Amendment
Agreed to by the Cosă 179-0 (21 abstained), by the Senäts 7-0 (1 abstained)


The Cosă and Senäts have disagreed on the following bills and resolutions:

61RZ06 - The Let the Chief Legal Advisor Advise Amendment
Rejected by the Cosă due to missing the required supermajority 124-76, rejected by the Senäts 1-6 (1 abstained)

61RZ07 - The Clarification on Confidentiality Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 66-27 (107 abstained), rejected by the Senäts 2-6

61RZ11 - Sense of the Ziu: the exemplary X exit, a.k.a xXx
Rejected by the Cosă 85-94 (21 abstained), agreed to by the Senäts 6-2

61RZ12 - Opposition Redefinition Act
Agreed to by the Cosă 127-26 (47 abstained), rejected by the Senäts 2-5 (1 abstained)


The Cosă passed a Vote of Confidence in the incumbent Government 152-48.

I am pleased to report all MCs and Senators voted.



Sir Lüc da Schir, UrB
Secretary of State

Yes, a reappointment vote would be within the rules given that we are indeed "in the Cosa immediately preceding the expiration of the Judge's term", with all likelihood.

To this effect, I suggest you Hopper a simple resolution ending with the following clause:

QuoteWHEREAS, (...),

THEREFORE, (we the Ziu etc etc), hereby re-appoint Judge Istefan Éovart Perþonest to a seat on the Uppermost Court, pursuant to the provisions of Organic Law Article VIII Section 4.

or somesuch.

I would additionally like to clarify that, pursuant to Lexh.H.2.1.2.4., such a resolution would not be subject to CRL review.

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on June 09, 2025, 01:55:45 AMNo questions should be mandatory

This is already the case as per Lexh.C.1.2.2.1.

(This set of questions is almost entirely lifted from discussions that took place around the time of the past Census.)

WHEREAS, El Lexhatx Title C Article 1.2.2.2 states:

"Other questions on the Talossan Census shall be identical to the questions on the last census. These questions may be changed by the Chancery, either of its own volition or on request from the Seneschal, but any changes shall be approved by the Ziu, without needing to go through committee."

WHEREAS, a biennial Census is due this summer; and

WHEREAS, several points regarding the current set of questions were raised following the last Census in 2023; so

THEREFORE be it enacted by the King, Cosa and Senäts in Ziu assembled, that the first Census following passage of this Act shall contain the following questions, pursuant to El Lexhatx Title C Article 1.2.2.2 and in addition to those provided by C.1.2.2.1:

• Gender, with the listed options of Male, Female, Nonbinary, and Other
• Age, with the listed options of 14-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, and 60+ years
• Civil Status
• Household size, expressed as a range from 1 to 10+
• Industry, instructing respondents "choose category that best describes your occupation" and with the listed options of Agriculture, Arts, Business and Finance, Clergy and Community Services, Construction and Trades, Education and Childcare, Engineering and Computer Science, Healthcare, Homemaking, Hospitality and Food Services, Legal Services, Manufacturing, Military, Sales, Sciences, Transportation, Unemployed, and Other.
• Ethnic self-identification
• Religious Affiliation, with the listed options of Buddhism, Christianity (Orthodox), Christianity (Protestant), Christianity (Roman Catholic), Hinduism, Islam (Shia), Islam (Sunni), Judaism, Nonreligious, and Other.
• Education Level
• Household Income, with options allowing for a wide range of answers and denominated in both louise and euro and United States dollar equivalents.

• Location of physical residence, with a suggestion respondents reply down to the precision required by provincial catchment legislation.

FURTHERMORE, the Chancery may privately contact respondents whose place of residence doesn't match their current provincial assignment to advise them of their right to move to their province of residence if they so choose.

Uréu q'estradra så,

Sir Lüc da Schir, Secretary of State

Azul. You appear to have no fewer than four registered accounts. I have rationalised them so that your most recently used one is "GV".

Please visit https://wiki.talossa.com/Special:PasswordReset and enter your username (GV) to receive a password reset link.

The appointment is now reflected on the Database and Senator Nouacastră has been provided with credentials to the database for voting on the Clark.

(Apologies for the delay - I've been traveling for work and attempted to type this response on mobile earlier, but I accidentally lost all work midway through and didn't have time to re-type it again anymore. I chatted with the King earlier so, by the presence of the resolution I suggested in the Hopper, he may already have communicated my full stance to the MinFor anyway.)
