Quote from: Glüc on Today at 05:14:31 AMI will never understand why the Dutch team didn't play like they were 1 goal behind in extended time.

Morocco had *a lot* of local support. Or, put it differently, Netherlands was booed heavily by Mexican fans (this match was played in my city, btw). Twelve years on, we still remember: NO ERA PENAL.

At this point, the Progressive Alliance must sadly announce that it seems unlikely we will be able to successfully rob His Majesty the king and steal all of his money. We must be realistic. After His Majesty successfully beat up our assault team, finishing them off with a sweet roundhouse kick, we have no path forward.

While a huge number of our goals have been successfully achieved, as we will talk about over this next month, we must reluctantly conclude that we will not be stealing from His Majesty. We will pivot to a new goal, instead.

Yes, correct.

Please add @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be as a cosponsor to the oath bill, @Sir Lüc

I will never understand why the Dutch team didn't play like they were 1 goal behind in extended time. Morocco looked pretty dangerous, so they could have lost, but they ALWAYS lose on penalties. It's really not a 50/50 thing for the Netherlands...

Oh well, I prefer watching cycling anyway. Go register now for TCAT leg 2 everyone!!!

WHEREAS Owen Bottu has completed all the legal requirements for admission to the Kingdom of Talossa, and has satisfied the nation and us of his interest in Talossan citizenship (the Best Thing Money Can't Buy), of his intention and desire to participate in our national life, and of his loyalty to the Crown, we are pleased and honoured hereby to admit Owen Bottu to the exalted status of NATURALISED CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF TALOSSA, and of the province of Cézembre, with all the rights, privileges, and duties thereunto appertaining.

Done by my hand in the name of King Txec and under his Royal Seal this 30th day of June in the year of the common era 2026, in the second year of the reign of our gracious sovereign King Txec, and of the independence of Talossa the 47th.




Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretar d'Estat / Secretary of State

From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to His Majesty's government. I solemnly affirm that I will support and uphold the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa, defend the realm against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe its laws, respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency.

Actually rather surprising that only two people seem to have had Germany advancing past France (also I just noticed the title of Gluc's bracket, lol).

IMMIGRATION

---

Should the overdue revival of the TalossAssistant prove unsuccessful in increasing the success of immigration applications then we will need to consider alternative solutions. A review of InfoTeca data shows a steady rate of applications between January and May 2026 (in the low to high 20s) but the drop-off especially in the past three months has been in successful applications.

The concern, based on reviewing the data, is in retaining applicants and making them into successful citizens not in attracting applications. The Government has attempted to make a connection between its publication activity and immigration but that is not where the current problem lies. The PA will need to answer to voters why it took months to reactivate a program (at some urging by the Opposition) that will hopefully address the real immigration issue.

Oath sent over.
