The Union of Free Reformists endorses the following candidates in the upcoming Senatorial elections in Belacostă, Maritiimi-Maxhestic, and Vuode:

	In Belacostă, the Union endorses @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be . Senator Iason Taiwos has represented his province very well, but has indicated a desire not to run again; as the Union's Seneschal candidate, this seems an ideal time for Autófil to continue carrying on a proud legacy of forward-thinking Belacostan Senators.
	In Maritiimi-Maxhestic, the Union is proud to endorse Sir @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP . Sir Marcel is the honest and pragmatic candidate in this race, and several of his valuable contributions to our Democracy Agenda have already been passed into law in this last term. He will give the good people of Maritiimi-Maxhestic the fair representation they have been missing out on.
	In Vuode, the Union is proud to endorse incumbent Senator @Eðo Grischun for re-election. Senator Grischun has served the people of Vuode well on multiple occasions, and can be trusted to do so again.

Fellow Talossans,

As a founder of Talossan Progressivism and now as an Independent Progressive I am asking for your vote. After some wise encouragement from my husband to make a simple apology and allow the Greens to move on I have set out on an independent path. I wish the Greens great success, genuinely, and trust that the direction Crement will take the party will be one that allows for it to better contribute to the Kingdom.

For my part, in the next Cosa I will continue to propose legislation that makes the Talossan case for good in the world. That encourages a more peculiarly progressive take on Talossanity, and demonstrates that the character and behavior of others need not be cause for you to sink to their level.

Courage is contagious. And I hope that spreads in the Kingdom ever farther. Join me in making Talossa a kinder Kingdom.

At some point in the future, if we are going to continue to have turbocharged political cycles, we need to consider an election period moratorium on immigration. Perhaps, during the actual election, and the two weeks preceding it.

Really? They haven't posted a thing in the past two weeks.

WHEREAS @Shazzad Hossain Shihan has expressed a genuine interest in joining the Kingdom of Talossa and becoming part of its unique community, and

WHEREAS he has demonstrated an interest in the Kingdom, its people, institutions, culture and traditions, and

WHEREAS he seeks to become a citizen of this wonderful micronation and to participate in its civic life, and

WHEREAS he appears to be a friendly, respectful and sincere person who would be a welcome addition to our community, and

WHEREAS I believe that he would contribute positively to Talossa (as a BBA student in Finance & Banking, could bring valuable knowledge and experience in the field of finance and potentially serve as a financial advisor to the community) and

WHEREAS I would be pleased to have him as a fellow citizen from my native country and as a member of our Talossan community,

THEREFORE I, Moinul Moin, a citizen of Atatürk of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen @Shazzad Hossain Shihan, as specified by law.

With the Factbook effort extending through the entirety of the last term it is disappointing to see it is now on hold. It would be of interest to know what caused the hold so as to know whether the hold is indefinite. Perhaps in private?

A national breakfast cereal!? We better get this figured out. We'll need to get nominations and then work with the Chancery to do a special referendum, I think.

Great work!

1. Hiatus of and alternative to draft Foreign Factbook

The initial process envisioned of assigning information liaisons to collect data on other micronational entities is on hiatus due to a variety of internal and external factors, and may resume after the upcoming election.

A proposed interim alternative step will be to add a full page reference to the Kingdom of Talossa to the program for North American Microcon 2027 to be held in San Diego CA USA.  The foreign ministry will solicit designs from citizens for consideration and selection by the King.  An addition to the design will be a link for collection of Factbook information from other entities.

There will be two delegates (the King and another TBD) to that convention August 5-8, 2027.

2. Outreach to the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?

As a student in the ATLAS program at the University of Colorado, I made the suggestion for a theme for the 2026 Whaaat!? Festival to be the creation of a micronation, which was accepted.

Whaat!? embodies the feeling of simultaneous delight and bewilderment when you have a fresh encounter something wonderfully weird.  The Whaaat!? Lab is a hybrid studio-laboratory dedicated to uncovering and fostering that feeling, specifically through experimental games and playful interactivity. It is located within the ATLAS Institute, at CU Boulder.

I will participate in that class, and leverage the history of the Kingdom of Talossa to inform the other students there about micronational concepts through the lens of our long standing nation.  The Whaaat!? festival has a new theme each year, so this blossoming of a new nation may be brief.  However, among those involved there may be impetus for immigration to our midst. 

The Whaaat!? festival date is 7 November 2026 - among other things we will need to select a national breakfast cereal for inclusion in the Cereal Aptitude Test.   I will attend in my Talossan garb, either as a regular citizen or potentially as a government representative pending the upcoming election results.
