Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on April 11, 2024, 02:49:46 AM@þerxh Sant-Enogat do you accept my proposal? As soon as I can I will include the fanfare that @xpb made. Then the melody will be finished.

Azul @Barclamïu da Miéletz . The choice for an Anthem for Cézembre has to be decided by l'Etats, the Provincial Assembly of Cézembre. It is not a decision of the Sénéschal, as you wrote on TalossaWiki.

I will tell you if Talossa is mentioned

After an internal vote, The TNC has decided to endorse the Bill.

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


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



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"

Excellent idea !

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since Makenzie ( @makenziesundquist ) first posted on Wittenberg, following her introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS she has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, culture, (and because she loves Milwaukee) and

WHEREAS she desires citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa, and

WHEREAS by all indications it appears that she would be a loyal and dedicated citizen, and a credit to this nation if she obtains the grant of citizenship she requests, and

WHEREAS she will certainly spice up and enrich 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 Makenzie Sundquist, as specified by law.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on March 29, 2024, 10:59:50 AM@þerxh Sant-Enogat I really don't see a problem that if our province were to have an anthem that it would base on a country's anthem. Atatürk uses Türkiye's anthem 

Yes, but Türkiye's anthem is logical for Atatürk.. As Il Canto Degli Italiani could be Benito's for the same reason. And.. you know.. French are always making jokes on Belgian natives :-) 
La Brabançonne is a nice anthem but would ring immediately Belgian for people in the Cézembre region.

Congrats ! I encourage you now to choose a Talossan name, and go on building Talossa's history with us all. Welcome to our Nation  @DJ_POLE !

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on March 20, 2024, 03:19:24 PMI'm getting detxa vista (Talossan déjà vu) here. The TNC have decided that a senior civil servant is impermissibly "double jobbing" and is trying to make it illegal. The funny thing is that this was not a problem when the current Clerk of Corts was named A-Xh by the TNC Seneschál not one month ago. What has changed - apart from the fact that the Clerk/A-Xh is no longer a TNC member?

The quoted (re)nomination was not contrary to any laws in force, and was - to my opinion - fully in line with the skills, the experience and the probity of the incumbent.
To make something illegal, you need first to be able to discuss a law ;-), and to then gather the necessary majority of votes.

Quote from: Bentxamì Puntmasleu on March 22, 2024, 04:19:42 PMOh, nice! I was wondering what this 68 day countdown was about but decided I preferred to wait and see. I really liked the books but I had no idea they were making a series. I guess I'll have to get Netflix.

I just binged the 8 episodes.. Scenario credibility is weaker on film than in the books, and the westernization of most main characters is a bit weird, but there are very impressive images allowing me to remember my bewilderment when reading the books.
Now longing for next seasons to get into the better parts of books 2 and 3. But I highly recommend the lucky ones who haven't read the trilogy yet to do so !

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on March 19, 2024, 03:35:15 AMWhat do you guys think? Melody could be Belgium's anthem "La Brabançonne"

Thanks Barclamïu for the proposal ! and the nice lyrics too.
After a few days now, I wonder if it is a good idea to base our Provincial anthem on the national anthem of another country, and Belgium has no real logical link with Talossa or Cézembre. The French anthem would be a bit more logical geographically speaking, but it is the anthem of the country from which Cézembre seceeded on 1982.
Could we imagine another music ? more related to Brittany, such as in this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9mup3aA08Y
All suggestions welcome !

Immigration News

During February XLV we received 5 immigration applications from all parts of the world :

• Arnaud Valenti, from France
• Sean Graham Able, from Hong Kong
• Ekaterina Bukharina, from Russia
• Brooke Kamishlian, from the USA
• Muhammad Muhammad, from Nigeria

And we welcome one new citizen : Damian Adams @Dumzadams, since 10 February

Ok then, I calm down my eagerness to grow the country population.
I withhold my last 2 citizenship petitions until possible further involvement from prospective citizens.
May be we should think of another set up for citizenship agreement, like a black ball vote, a secret vote or a minimum number of petition support ?
