Azul all,

I've been working on expanding the Database and, partly due to the progressive citizen numbers recently ticking over 600, I caught the opportunity to finally formalise the status of 31 people listed on the Chancery's rolls as underage citizens. You can see the results at https://database.talossa.com/citizenship/citizens/dandelions

As a refresher, the law was changed in early 2023 to do away with the former birthright citizenship system ("old-law" Dandelions) and the similar automatic citizenship for children/wards of citizens ("broad-leaf" Dandelions). These formerly were underage citizens who, by a now-abolished provision, could not accumulate strikes until reaching 14; the problem being that, when their parents struck out, they were "trapped" and uncontactable on the rolls, and without us being really sure of their age and status. It was not only a cosmetic issue of having inflated rolls, but also a more serious issue of consent, especially involving non-adults under Talossan but also macronational laws.

This problem was solved by 57RZ27/58RZ01, which made natural-born Dandelions only eligible for automatic citizenship at 14 instead of birth, and removed the "strike protection" until 14, causing existing Dandelions to immediately(*) strike out under the normal provisions of two years without voting or answering a Census. We then instituted a new system of Implinds - registered children/wards of citizens with "prospective privileges" - but as far as I can tell, no Implind has been registered in the three years since (and indeed no "old-law" or "broad-leaf" Dandelion had been registered for five years prior).

I meant to address this issue in the most recent Census, but I forgot to ask the Ziu for permission to inquire with parents about whether they meant to "transfer" their children/wards to the status of an Implind, so the issue had to be postponed. I have decided for the time being to consider as Implinds all former "old-law" and "broad-leaf" Dandelions who have lost their citizenship but qualify as an Implind (by having a still-Talossan parent and possibly being under 14).

This includes, as far as I can tell, 11 people:

* #341, daughter of Eðo Grischun;
* #374, 375, 376 and 417, daughters of Vitxalmour Conductour;
* #498, son of Alexandreu Davinescu;
* #499 and 530, son and daughter of Cresti Siervicül;
* #500 and 531, son and daughter of Dan Txechescu;
* #501, daughter of Miestră Schivă.

The parents/guardians of any of them are more than welcome to reach out to me for any purpose, including removing them from their status as Implinds, availing them of their legal benefits as Implinds, or registering any additional Implinds. (#341, 374, 375 and 376 will definitely turn 14 within a few months, which will make them ineligible to remain Implinds.)

The other 20 former "old-law" or "broad-leaf" Dandelions are all 14 or over (except #383, who however has no Talossan parents) and do not qualify as Implinds, but I believe they have the same status as struck-out citizens, meaning they can have their full, adult citizenship restored essentially just by reaching out to me.

(*): or in two years' time from early 2023; the question is moot since the effect, as of today, is the same.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on September 13, 2025, 04:42:00 PMOur revolutionary heritage. Fiovă was founded as a province so that former citizens of the Talossan Republic could have self determination. Hence, our hyper-democratic constitution.

As far as Talossan Republicanism goes, we may have been on the losing side, we're still not convinced it was the wrong one.

ohh, such a fascinated history, thank you for answering my question!

The origin-story of the foundation of Fiova is long and entails the 2003-2012 period of Talossan history (esp. 2003-2004), which makes whatever tumult may be going on nowadays look like a dinner party.

There's some background noise. Not a lot, but I'm pretty sure I can take it out with very slight effort on Audacity.

I didn't notice the beginning sound, but it's probably an accidental bit of audio left-in from an imperfect clip.

To Do List

• Remove audio noise.

Which noise? I mix very often and did not find anything that would bother me.

ETA: There's something at the very beginning that kind of sounds like compensation for a vocal compressor, like auto leveling loudness.

Another nice song.

The government has produced a promotional video for Talossa!  It's in contemporary TikTok style and 50 seconds long, and we think things like this have a chance of going viral again.  It's not a sure thing, of course, but we can re-use stuff like this many times in the future.

This is a first attempt, so please -- give us your feedback!  What needs to be fixed?  What needs to be added?  What hits wrong?

I am not hugely political. I know the party leader quite well, though, so it is an easy decision on which party to support.

I have been listening to some of Mariah Carey's music from twenty years ago. I also like Utada.
