However the Spotify idea would help get a idea of the music the station would play?

Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on Yesterday at 07:55:12 AMWell for clarity, I feel like I do. If we could have some help with funding, I'm happy to proceed, if a group of us are intrested that is, I don't want to have to solo it. Set us up as a group, point me in the direction of any Talossan music we already have, we may want some governmental oversight via MinProp, as well as direct ties to governmental agendas and events.

What is your back of the envelope funding idea?  The original idea of the King was to provide a place for playing of musical hits associated with the kingdom. that could be accomplished with a Spotify or Pandora list. If it's something that's evolving into news and information or other custom content, a more detailed plan would need to be built.  An interim step there might be to associate with an existing public station that has web broadcasting, make requests there for songs, and also place public service announcements that would be read occasionally.  This could prototype any kind of station that the kingdom would eventually enable.

I feel the genral idea was somthing along the lines of a 24 hour music station, with potential for on air and pre recored content.

Somthing like: Folk Friday radio

Quote from: Marcüs Causch on Today at 01:58:43 PMWhy does the official title of the King contain the parts "by the Grace of God" and "Defender of the Faith"?

So, the historical reason is that they're part of the titles of the British Monarchy*, aped by Talossa's founding king, and were not subsequently explicitly deleted the way some other parts have been.

(I previously suggested in the other thread they were added to the title when Ben was an atheist; on review of the Big History, I think they actually were added after his conversion to the Latter Day Saints.)

*For example, David White, Garter Principal King of Arms, read out the British form of Elizabeth II's titles at her funeral as follows: "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, and Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter".

Those are historical references and have been part of my title for many years. I talked about my view on "defender of the faith" here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4913.msg40914#msg40914

It's pretty nice meaning when we put it that way. But I still think it should be made clear that it doesn't point to a specific religion.
