I'll try to get a pic of it. (Yes, I have never even bothered to take a picture of it.)

Any additional feedback? This is eligible for CRL review but if there's any objections beyond form/structure they should be made now, not at the CRL stage.

WHEREAS, occasionally, valid citizenship petitions are presented, but the subject of the petition does not return the oath in a timely manner; and

WHEREAS, in those cases, there is no firm law on when a petition "lapses" due to the prospective's inaction, but 30 days has been estabilished by precedent as an informally accepted threshold; and

WHEREAS, additionally, E.7 as written is incredibly contorted and borderline illegible; and

WHEREAS, E.7 also contradicts E.3.4.1 and contains a reference to a "clause 4" that does not exist; and

WHEREAS, all of E.7's subsections refer to the connected but entirely separate topic of provincial assignment, which is definitely poor form; and


WHEREAS, there are perfectly good empty sections (E.4-5) to unpack E.7's miscellaneous provisions into; so

THEREFORE we, the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, hereby enact as follows.

El Lexhatx Title E Section 3.4.1 is amended to read as follows:

Quote3.4.1. At any time at least fifteen days after the beginning of the examination period, any current citizen of Talossa,  except for the Minister of Immigration or anyone to whom they have delegated their powers, may petition the Secretary of State requesting that a Royal Grant of Citizenship be issued to the prospective citizen.

El Lexhatx Title E Section 4 and 5, which are currently blank, are re-instated to read as follows:

Quote4. Upon receipt of a petition lodged in compliance with section E.3.4 and relevant subsections, the Secretary of State or a deputy shall, within a week, administer to the prospective the Oath of Talossan Citizenship required by section E.9.

4.1. The Oath may be taken in any form the Secretary of State deems appropriate, whether in public or in private, in person or by text or audio/video link.

4.2. If the prospective does not take or return the Oath within 30 days of the Secretary of State first attempting to administer it, the examination period shall end, the immigration process for the prospective citizen shall be terminated, and their Wittenberg account shall be disabled.

5. After the prospective has satisfied every requirement set by law, the Secretary of State or a deputy shall promptly issue a Royal Grant of Citizenship to the immigrant.

5.1. At the time this Royal Grant is issued, and from that point forward, the applicant shall be a full citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa. Any and all objections raised to the immigration made after this Royal Grant will be moot.

5.2. The Royal Grant shall be posted on Wittenberg by the Secretary of State, so that the new citizen may be welcomed by his compatriots.

5.3. This Grant shall be issued under the Royal Seal, either as applied by the Chancery, or, should the Majesty request, by the Sovereign under his or her own hand. If requested by the Government, the Grant may also bear the signatures of the Seneschal and/or Immigration Minister.

El Lexhatx Title E Section 7, which currently reads:

Quote7. The Secretary of State shall, on a date of his choosing, but within a period of ten days after receiving a petition from at least two citizens, neither of whom shall be the Minister of Immigration or anyone to whom they have delegated their powers, to issue a Grant of Citizenship as described in clause 4, and determine the provincial assignment of the prospective immigrant and issue a Royal Grant of Citizenship to the immigrant. This Grant shall be issued under the Royal Seal, either as applied by the Chancery, or, should the Majesty request, by the Sovereign under his or her own hand. If requested by the Government, the Grant may also bear the signatures of the Seneschal and/or Immigration Minister. The Royal Grant shall be promptly issued coincident with the candidate affirming his fealty to the Royal House and his allegiance to the Kingdom by taking any Oath of Talossan Citizenship specified by law. At the time this Royal Grant is issued, and from that point forward, the applicant shall be a full citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa. The fact of the issuance of this Grant shall be posted on Wittenberg by the Secretary of State, that the new citizen may be welcomed by his compatriots. Any and all objections raised to the immigration made after this Royal Grant will be moot.

is hereby repealed and replaced with the following:

Quote7. Future immigrants to Talossa shall be assigned to provinces based on the provisions of this title.

FURTHERMORE, El Lexhatx Title E Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 are hereby merged and renumbered as 7.1, to read as follow:

Quote7.1. Talossan citizens physically living within the boundaries of the Kingdom of Talossa shall be assigned to whichever province they are actually living in. Citizens living outside the boundaries of Talossa shall be assigned to a province corresponding to a geographic zone. The entire globe shall be divided into eight geographic zones so that anyone living anywhere outside Talossa is automatically assigned to the corresponding Talossan province.

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on June 07, 2026, 01:44:51 PMI'd like to nominate my car as "Used Talossan Car of the Year".
I drive a 2007 Ford Mustang. It previously belonged to my stepdaughter, who passed away from cancer. Look, I'm not a car guy, never have been. I want something to get me from point a to point b reliably, and that's it. I don't care what it looks like as long as it runs and won't cost a lot of money for repairs. Preferably something I can repair myself. (Okay, there was one car I owned I actually loved...a 1979 Jeep CJ5. Had an inline six engine. Learned to drive stick on it, and I could fix it myself. I'm not naturally mechanically inclined, but I replaced the carburetor, U-joints and a bunch of other stuff all by myself, using just a Haynes manual as a guide. I was proud of myself for that. Plus, it was fun to drive.)
Anyhow, this Mustang. I don't get the appeal. I can't tell you how many times people have complimented me on it. "Wow, nice Mustang, man!" How are you supposed to reply to that? "Thanks, but I just drive it. I had no part of its design or production." I usually just say "Thanks" and leave it at that.
I'm 52 now, and some people probably think my owning this sports car is some kind of mid-life crisis thing, when it was just a vehicle I got because my stepdaughter died, and no one else wanted it. It runs okay, that's all I'm concerned about.
The speedometer hasn't worked since I've had it (maybe five years now), so I've been driving it around the whole time without actually knowing how fast I'm going. I guess it's a testament to my driving skills that I haven't been pulled over by the cops. (I've only ever had one speeding ticket in my life.) My wife once pulled up an app that tells you how fast you are driving, and kept her eye on it when we drove out of town. "I'll let you know when you're speeding," she said. She never mentioned it again until we got back home, and said "That actually impressed me. You pretty much drove the exact speed limit the whole time."
The Mustang has body rust, the muffler is falling off. Sometimes in the morning the button on the gear shifter doesn't want to work. The gas gauge also occasionally quits working. But it gets me to work and back, eventually. It's mostly reliable. My brakes are still good, they saved me from plowing into a couple of deer crossing the road the other day.
(Since we're talking about cars, one of my coworkers recently got a 1962 Rambler. You know all those stories about the old lady keeping her dead husband's antique car in the garage for decades, and it's in pristine condition? This was one of those stories. My coworker grew up next to the old lady, and would mow her lawn for her. She finally died, and the family wanted to clean out her stuff. They offered the car to my work pal, since he had mowed her lawn for years without accepting any pay. They wanted $3000 for it, and threw in an old Cadillac as well. Well, luckily he had the money, and snapped it up. The Caddilac wasn't in that great a shape, but the Rambler looked like it had just rolled out of the factory. Pristine. My pal had to use dry gas to start it, but it drove fine. He went and got historic plates for it. All this happened right in time for the "Super Cruise", which is an annual car show they have here in my town.

I've sadly fallen behind on my second report but am hoping to renew the effort this week. @xpb Any news from other reporters?

Seneschal, was there ever an announcement of the PA's party election results? Forgive me if I missed it but I was curious.
