Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 07:08:08 PMThat section is the current language from existing law, as it has been for many years. And respectfully, I find your version actually a little bit more confusing than the simpler version. Invalidating candidacy sounds like you just can't run for the office or something. I'm open to the idea, but could you explain to me why you think this is an improvement?


I grant the way I phrased it may not have been the best,
But the intention is to clear up a loophole in the language you presented which, as the prohabition against being a Cunstaval in the same province you are from, as this bill would do, it doesn't prohibit you being able to hold a provincial government head and the position of cunstaval in the SAME province. Which is what I was trying to stop in the suggested change I put forward earlier

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 05:04:55 PMThis is inaccurate. PMQs in my country and I believe in Britain are submitted with a few days notice so that the Government can prepare a proper answer. That said, supplementary questions are extemporary.

Could I get those sent to me in advance as well, considering they are formally addressed to the Túischac'h?

This author produced a two volume Atlas of Micronations. Fortunately you don't have to pay the $105 for the print version (that's $210 for both volumes), or $40 for the ebook, the entry on Talossa is in the free sample. (You'll have to scroll down a bit.)

A fantastic reference item apparently. I just checked out the sample and it looks well done.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 08, 2025, 12:09:31 AMWe affirm that a Green Party Government will take formal stances on issues of global import such as climate change, international peace and security, and the protection and furthering of human and sentient rights.

Quote from: xpb on Today at 05:46:18 PMCON regarding 62RZ05    Sense of the Ziu: Big Neighbor Democratic Backsliding

Talossa is not an island. If we are to move beyond isolationism we need to speak on issues based on our values as a nation and people and that are of importance globally as members of the international community.

Our "big neighbor" is experiencing democratic backsliding and while our ability to influence the outcome is limited we have many American dual citizens. We should be willing and able to speak, on the basis of our own struggle to consolidate democracy, to the importance of the preservation of democratic culture and institutions.

I hope I can be a diplomat for our noble nation someday (as long as we speak French, gotta make Ernest Hemingway proud somehow!)

The Cunstavál Reform Amendment

Whereas the role of Cunstaval is decades out of date and mostly out of use, and yet there is a place for His Majesty in every province, and

Whereas the provinces are probably best-equipped to decide what the role might be, and

Whereas the limit on cross-provincial power seems unnecessary at this point, since we don't know what provinces will want to be doing,


THEREFORE the fourth section of the ninth article of the Organic Law, which currently reads

Quote1. Every royal power that the King possesses as granted by this Organic Law shall also apply to the provincial governments; with the exception that the provincial royal powers need not include a right of dissolution if provincial elections are held concurrently with Cosâ elections.

2. The King may appoint a Cunstavál (or Constable) for any Province to exercise these powers on his behalf, for a term not exceeding three years. The King may reappoint a Cunstavál. The terms of existing Cunstaváis shall expire no later than three years after the adoption of this amendment.

3. Until such time as the King or Cunstavál proclaims a provincial constitution providing otherwise, the King or Cunstavál shall serve as Military Governor and may exercise all the powers of the provincial government.

4. The King or Cunstavál shall not proclaim any provincial constitution, nor shall any province pass a constitutional amendment, which conflicts with any provision of this Organic Law or with any other national law.

5. The King or Cunstavál shall not proclaim any provincial constitution which has not been approved by a referendum in which at least either a majority of all citizens of the province or a two-thirds majority of votes actually cast is in favor of the constitution.

6. No person shall be at the same time Cunstavál of one province and the leader of the provincial government of another province.

shall be amended to read

Quote1. Every royal power that the King possesses as granted by this Organic Law shall also apply in a commensurate fashion to the provincial governments.

2. The King may appoint a Cunstavál (or Constable) for any Province to exercise these powers on his behalf.  A province may pass laws setting a term of office for its Cunstavál, specifying who is disqualified from the role, and assigning the Cunstavál a role in their government.  Unless otherwise fixed by national or provincial statute, the term of office shall be three years.  No person shall be at the same time Cunstavál of one province and the leader of the provincial government of another province.



"No person shall be at the same time Cunstavál of one province and the leader of the provincial government of another province"

I think this should be clearer in language to something along the lines of
"No person shall be at the same time Cunstavál of a province and the leader of the provincial government of any province at the same time, to hold one role invalidates their candidacy for the other as long at they hold either office"

The intent is the same but the language is less ambiguous
