You're being too modest. If I, as someone who only started learning English at age 8 and has never set foot in an English-speaking country in his life, count as fluent, then you definitely do as well.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 04:56:34 PMI'd be interested in Westarctica, Ladonia, and would suggest we add the Dominion of Vancouver Island which is active and nearby (for Talossans in Canada's British Columbia).

Also Asgardia seems to be another self-serious outfit.

I suppose the sequence of events here would be to first act as a liaison to gather information, and to determine if there would be mutual interest in establishing formal relations.

I wanted to confirm then, under this process, I would act as an investigator for:

Asgardia
Dominion of Vancouver Island
Westarctica
Ladonia

Okay, I think this has a good nautical theme and looks good.  All of the colors are on their own level, so it will only require one color change and won't waste much filament, and I can print them in bulk, twenty or thirty at a time (I haven't worked it out exactly).  I can fairly easily print out two or three hundred and take care of our needs for the foreseeable future.



I have designed a press-fit channel underneath that should print well to hold a 2mm nylon cord.



The cord can be easily cut and then melted on an iron to seal the end neatly, and it should hold any kind of bead we care to get for this purpose.  I already ordered it.

I'll print out a prototype soon.  It's too cold for my printer to work properly where I am right now, but once the temperature goes back over 20 or 30, it should work okay.

All of this is going to total up like $20 worth of materials, so I'm just going to make it my donation.

2.6.7.1 Any Talossan citizen living in another country can petition the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish an embassy in the country of their residence.
such as
Bråneu Excelsio Monterrey, Nuevo León. Mexico
[...]

Sadly, that Embassy closed in 2024. CC: @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN.

None fluently but I can get by with English. I know a few words in Talossan, Spanish, French and German but not enough to effectively communicate

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on Today at 09:18:14 AMI'm only fluent in German and English. I can read and write Talossan well, but I can't speak it conversationally yet.

Aside from that, I mostly dabble with constructed or ancient languages like Interlingua, Ithkuil, Sumerian, or what have you.

ithkuil? it's really hard, but interesting

Personally, I speak Spanish, English, I was learning Esperanto and now I like to try the talossan. I really like conlangs :D

The Government has some requests for advice from the Coletx for updating or inventing new symbolism for difference offices.

1.  The Poet Laureate currently does not have any badge for his office, and we should remedy that.

2.  The Directorate of STUFF should probably inherit the symbol for the Ministry of STUFF, but I thought I'd seek input first.

3.  The Ministry of Propaganda needs some sort of badge.

4.  The Ministry of Public Records also needs some sort of badge.

5.  And finally, it's 2026: do we want to possibly change the Ministry of Culture's badge?  Last time we voted to retain it, but it's open to misinterpretation and it can be seen as an insensitive "mascot" rather than a Berber tribute, especially considering that the overwhelming majority of people who see it won't know about the Berber thing.
