How does the member feel about Talossa's claims to Cézembre and Péngöpäts?

As in past years the computer will select a random draft order and it will be a "snake" draft. This means that the order reverses after each round. So if you pick first in the first round you pick last in the second round and then first again in the third round and so on. I managed to once again pick a date for the draft which I will not be able to attend online so the computer will be picking my team for me LOL

Co-sponsors welcome. :)

Quote from: King Txec on August 28, 2026, 01:27:20 PMWe further call upon our BHAID to investigate how the People of Talossa can alleviate, in at least some small part, the suffering now unfolding.

Thank you.

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir , what do you think?

It's only been a week but with the flurry of election events I wanted to be sure we didn't lose track of the King's encouragement. @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir and current Seneschal @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu a gentle nudge of a reminder.

Whereas, the Kingdom of Talossa, as a nation situated on unceded Indigenous territory, recognizes that the historical experience of colonialism has had profound and lasting impacts on societies, cultures, and systems of knowledge across the world, and

Whereas, scholars and thinkers have identified the continuing effects of coloniality, meaning the persistence of structures of power, hierarchy, and cultural dominance rooted in the colonial era even after the formal end of colonial rule, and

Whereas, the concept of the coloniality of power, as described by sociologist Aníbal Quijano, explains how patterns of socioeconomic classification and cultural authority established during colonial rule continue to shape global institutions and social relations, and

Whereas, decolonial thought also highlights the coloniality of knowledge, whereby certain intellectual traditions, particularly those developed in Europe and the West, have historically been treated as universal, or otherwise privileged, while other systems of knowledge have been marginalized or disregarded, and

Whereas, the intellectual movement known as Decoloniality seeks to critically examine these inherited hierarchies and promote recognition of the diverse ways of knowing, being, and understanding the world that exist across human societies, and

Whereas, engagement with decolonial perspectives encourages societies to reflect on historical legacies, expand intellectual pluralism, and promote greater respect for cultural diversity.

Therefore, be it the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that:

It affirms the value of ongoing global conversations concerning decoloniality and the examination of the enduring legacies of colonial structures, and

That the Ziu supports the recognition of a plurality of cultural traditions, intellectual frameworks, and historical experiences as part of the shared heritage of humanity, and

That the Ziu encourages Talossans and the international community to approach these discussions in a spirit of curiosity, humility, and respect for diverse perspectives, and

That the Kingdom of Talossa expresses its support for scholarship, dialogue, and cooperation aimed at addressing the historical and contemporary impacts of colonialism while promoting mutual understanding among cultures.

Whereas, the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, once stated that "the era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences," and

Whereas, this quote well-encapsulates humanity's current predicament in relation to anthropogenic climate change, and

Whereas, in recent years, 25 nations have experienced their hottest summers ever and the past seven years each have been the hottest ever since the start of record-keeping, and

Whereas, leading contributors of atmospheric warming emissions (People's Republic of China, United States of America, and Republic of India) have lagged in fidelity to their commitments based on the Kyoto and Paris Accords.

Therefore, may it be resolved that it is the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa:

To declare a climate emergency, and

Based on this declaration state its assessment that anthropogenic climate change is an issue touching not just on scientific and political scopes but also on moral and bioethical scopes, and

To encourage Talossans around the world to make meaningful changes in their personal lives to limit their individual and family contributions to climate change, and

To encourage nations which are leading contributors to climate change to meet their previously-agreed treaty-based commitments.
