I have already done the Civics test, but there were problems with the ID card application.

I'm sorry to hear that! Can you tell me what the problem was? Did it not work?

I couldn't upload a photo of myself and my signature. Perhaps it's my school's wifi. I could try to do it right now from home.

Quote from: e.iwuagwu on February 12, 2024, 12:35:14 AMI think I would mainly prefer this one to the other one with Red and Green..lol this looks more beautiful.
Is there a way we can have it to be the Tal on the Left , beneath it, it should have the province. all should be in the same blue column, you know evade copyright stuff. If not, we can leave it, i think this is very very okay. Nice design.

European plates work like this: on the left side, there is the country with either the EU flag if it's a EU member state, its country flag if it's in Europe but not in the EU (exception countries are Switzerland, Andorra, The Vatican, San Marino and Liechtenstein) or no flag at all if it's a transcontinental country (for example Türkiye)
The Euroband (the blue stripe) on the right side of the plate is optional; can be found in France and Italy (Albania as well iirc)
Iceland doesn't have the Euroband at all, it's their flag + the registration code "IS" on a white background. The Åland Islands territory also has license plates, but they are closer to American license plates.

The right side is for the province Emeka

Oh! I get it now. It's a good concept then!
Why didn't I think to this direction?

Here is my original concept: My license plate concept

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on February 09, 2024, 02:35:57 PMAzul, I was wondering if there would be a proper TTS for Talossan. I would need it for another concept of mine.
Best regards,
Barclamïu

What is TTS?

Text-to-speech, it stands for text-to-speech. Would be interesting to have but for Talossan

Thanks. Sounds like a great idea.

It would be very useful as I have a concept in mind that would require TTS

Guess what I just made? EURO-STYLE LICENSE PLATES! Codes for provinces are the same (CEZ - Cézembre etc with Maritiimi-Maxhestic being MMX) as for the standard plates, with the difference being the format. It's now AA-0000-AAA. Example plate shown below.

Happy the concept was liked by other citaxhiéns :)
For Talossan citizens living in Germany:
If you have a Leichtkraftfahrzeug (= light motor vehicle) or a vehicle with the top speed reduced to 45 km/h, you can display any other plate (including a Talossan plate) on the front bumper as moped license plates are used. These are only mounted on the rear. (I remember seeing an Opel Rocks-e, a rebadge of the Citroën Ami with a US plate at the front.) I'm unsure about "normal" vehicles (as in your traditional car).

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on January 21, 2024, 01:38:19 PMWhat would be the features of such a e-governance website, and is there something live that you could show us ? How did you get your expertise on the subject ? Good ideas and skilled volunteers are always welcome !

Basically a website where people can apply for e-residence cards like that of Estonia and Liberland and also apply for passports (in the near future) , secondly where we could have representations and have people to see us as a real republic , just everything like those nations aforementioned above.

Owning a Talossan passport would be dope, although I'm still waiting to get an ID card

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on January 26, 2024, 05:29:47 PMGuys, umm, I was stupid enough to reset my laptop WITHOUT MAKING A RESTORE POINT and now I'm trying to get it back. My browsing data, cookies etc are obviously gone so I can't make perfectly aligned Talossan license plates. I hate myself... (I have reset my laptop just to get rid of my school account on it, stupid Microsoft logic). I've made a question on Microsoft's support forum and I'm waiting for an answer. If they can't help me, I do not see any other choice than to make a clean install of Windows. Hopefully they can help me...
So please don't ask me etc to make a license plate for you until I have the issue resolved.

Update: The support couldn't help me. It makes zero sense to have my laptop as it is... I'm doing a clean install

Yet another update: Did a clean install, I'm waiting to get my phone so I can install Authy and log into Wittenberg. License plate requests will be taken from me on approx. 10.02.2024. Why not sooner? Because from 05.02. to 08.02. I will have school project days. People who attend the school choir (including me) go there. So, that means that you can request me to make a plate for you.

I could technically visit Talossa, the closest Talossan territory to me is the island Cézembre

Then get in touch with the Cézembre island tourist office, I will be able to organize a visit

I can't visit it right now, I don't have time
