Quote from: Iason Taiwos on Today at 07:17:30 PMThere's an embassy display? What would that consist of?
Our Salem, Ohio embassy has thus far been an embassy in name only, sadly. It is a legitimate local business (Nerdy Necessities), owned and operated by a Talossan citizen (Vitxalmour Conductour). There have been plans to install a Talossan flag and leave promotional literature by the cash register, but that has not yet come to fruition. (Give us a break, real life has been stressful for both of us in the last few months.) From what Vitx tells me, a lot of his regular customers would be perfect potential Talossans, but he hasn't had time to properly promote our Kingdom. By now we had hoped to build an entire local community of Ohio Talossans, but it hasn't happened. He runs the store and a website by himself, and I've been working 12 hour shifts in the bathtub factory for the past nine months.

We've had a few embassies in the past, but none right now.  @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN 's coffee shop was one for a while, and Hooligan's Super Bar and Napoleon's (a wargaming store) were both basically embassies (if not officially).  We'd be operating under the more recent rules instituted for Braneu with 58RZ20.

We'd love to get you guys as an embassy too!  We will send you leaflets to put out!

And while I have you, nudge Vitx to come here and just tell us (anywhere!  any thread!  even just a PM to me!) that he recruited you so that I can send you the PMPA medal!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 12:29:27 PMI've already gotten a few messages about embassies, so let me say right now that this project is in its early stage, and it's not the first time we've done this.  There have been a couple of embassies in the past, and it's been pretty great.

Generally speaking, we'll be looking for places that are:

• open to the public, so people have a chance to see the embassy display
• owned or operated by someone who is either Talossan or has a personal connection with a Talossan
• in keeping with our public image

But wow, already loving the enthusiasm!

Quote from: xpb on March 14, 2026, 10:23:19 PMnote: data collected by Breneir duing impulse #1 for Asgardia not including SWOT analysis has been submitted to their foreign ministry for review of accuracy - this is an information gathering step only, not establishing any specific relationship

Hey @xpb

In starting to finally get to work on the second report for the Dominion of Vancouver Island I noticed this note concerning the Asgardia report. Have you heard anything back from Asgardian Foreign Ministry?

Asgardia did not reply to my March 2 inquiry: Establishing Asgardia information for Talossan Factbook 2026.  I most recently received from them their general newsletter on June 18th (their unity day) indicating that their upcoming 10-year anniversary 12 October 2026.

meanwhile there's an effort by Microcon/Slowjamistan to create a more terse directory that wouldn't have the details of the fact book but could be a starting point to collect information from.

Hey @xpb

I saw the idea of creating embassies but I wanted to check in on the information sharing project which I am surprised is not a part of the PA campaign. Unfortunately, I've not made any progress for my second report on the Dominion of Vancouver Island. Have any other participants turned in their reports? Any news from Asgardia on my report?

Thanks for keeping in touch on this.  I will have some strategy announcements coming soon (a bit swamped at the moment with trivianationals.org taking place this next weekend).  We submitted a couple of factbook sheets for review by other entities (West Who, Asgardia) but only one (West Who) acknowledged.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Today at 12:46:35 AMI'm not sure exactly where this Reformation (forgive the pun) is at in terms of planning and decisions, but is there any particular denomination this is leaning towards? From first glance I would presume some sort of "non-denominational 'national' church", but if there is one ecclesiastical heraldic tradition or another we can or should borrow from more heavily that could be useful information.

Unrelated to my previous question, if you'll forgive a little public brainstorming, I note that archbishops' arms in several denominations utilize a pallium or pall as a heraldic device. In this case, if done properly it could be doubly symbolic for the merging of the Milwaukee River with either of its downtown tributaries before emptying into la Mar Talossan. Food for thought!

Yes, we're aiming for Western Rite Orthodoxy, so it'll be a Catholic coat of arms (since the West was Orthodox for a thousand years, to quote St. John Maximovitch.) My signature also lists my would-be titles in "Old Talossan" (including "Vicar of the Patriarch of Antioch and All the East").
