Is there any talossan music?

And of course the monthly issues of La C'hronica also summarise what happens in our Kingdom !

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 06:59:02 AMI don't know how long you've been gone, but a lot has happened recently!  Assuming you haven't checked in since your last post in September:

Politically: there was an election, and the Progressive Alliance won the most seats but not quite a majority.  We had a coalition with the IDF, and then their leader (who's still figuring things out) said some ignorant stuff and we broke the coalition but they continued to support us.  We also have a coalition with the Independent Greens in some kind of way, and we have a confidence-and-supply agreement with the URL.  So the Green Party is the Opposition right now, mostly because none of the other parties with form any kind of alliance with a party led by a sex pest.  Oh, and I'm the Seneschal.

Legally: there have been some big reforms, such as getting rid of the Seneschal's ability to permanently make new laws, adding a check to the immigration system by mirroring applications to an independent account, and changing the Cosa to only 20 seats in size (this hasn't come into effect yet).

Culturally: the music contest TMT finished up, hockey is in the playoffs, there's a new political science institute, the prime minister's patriotic award is set to be the first physical award sent to Talossans, we're systematically investigating and reporting back on other micronations with volunteers,  and we're making promotional videos now.

That's all that comes to mind off the top of my head.

Carter, Alexandreu missed a few things "off the top of his head."

The Green Party is now the Official Opposition because his party made an informal agreement with the URL. As a part of that agreement the URL has been abstaining on votes of confidence and receiving support on its Democracy Agenda branded bills from the PA. The unexpected consequence of that agreement is the latter, as the largest non-Government party, being unable to serve as the official opposition. When I pointed this out it was confirmed by the Tuischach and the Secretary of State. Oops. Alexandreu's party despite his statement above is still receiving support from the IDT and encouraging their leader to work on things like a translation of the Organic Law.

In the meantime, there have been some news and cultural activities. I have brought forward the fourth round of the El Pretz Per Tomas poetry contest (winner announcement coming soon). There will also be a fifth edition of the Talossan Book of Cuisine later this year.

My Youtube Channel, Fora Talossa, as Talossa's only active newschannel has created a couple of news videos on Talossan political events with a third coming this week to include a special from one of our newest citizens. Here is the latest edition:

thank you!

Very welcome, Carter. :)

Quote from: Carteir Montagnhă on Today at 10:27:50 AMthank you!

No problem!  There's a lot of stuff beyond that which I'm sure I forgot, but just snoop around and get back into things, and you'll remember.  Glad to have you back!

Welcome back, Carteir!

Well I've learned some good news that Craig Alanson is indeed planning a spinoff of a primary Jeraptha character named Uhtavio Scorandum.

The bad news? I am about to finish Book 19 in the series and will have to wait for the next one to come out...
