Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Today at 12:27:42 AMMy first thought here was some kind of megaphone as a charge, but actually -- and by happy accident aligning with the arms of the incumbent -- what about a trumpet or horn?

I believe our own badge already features two horns.  Not sure if that's a significant problem, but my first instinct is that we might want to see if we can think of alternatives.

Love it.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Today at 12:27:42 AMMy question here is what would we replace it with? Not opposed to replacing something insensitive in the slightest, but if we're going to change something, let's make it a good one so people don't have second thoughts down the line. (First thought was some interlocking rings, a stylized chain of sorts? Shared culture is ultimately what binds any group like Talossa together, after all.

I don't have a lot to pitch, but some ideas that come to mind: counterchanging the language flag, a lyre, or theatre masks.

Haven't done the entire Cabinet yet though.

Great!  Put them on the wiki or attach them here, and let's get them updated.

Because I've had it at school for four years and still don't know anything (+ it's hard).
I mean I don't study for it at all.

Native English speaker, took several years of French in high school (still got it to an extent, even if I'm very rusty) and minored in Russian Language & Culture in undergrad.

Other than that, some dabbling in conlangs such as Talossan (of course), Esperanto, and Finnish. Recently begun trying to pick up basic Catalan as well.

• For this one I would have suggested something with a quill, but since it would use the quartered gules/vert background found in Civil Service positions, it would be too similar to the Scribery (which uses...a quill).
  
  
• I'm not opposed to retaining the bridge emblem for the Directorate of STUFF, though we may choose to again update the background to the quartered Civil Service version. Open to what others think here.

  The first is, depending on how you choose to look at it, a form, document, or a bookshelf. The latter is clearly documents.

Quote from: xpb on January 21, 2026, 10:38:17 AMI will see the Kings ante and have raised my "bet" to $50 on the Kingdom so we're at $75 thus far to the $250 goal.

So nice to see pockets opening for the Kingdom.
When the will is there good things are possible.

I will also be donating $20.00. Can I get a link to the donation page?

Unless you are expecting a sudden surge in volunteers then it does not seem prudent to limit that to one per micronation, especially, when you are limiting those who have the capacity and willingness to take on more than one...

Added
Dominion of Vancouver Island

to entities of interest in column "Liaison" where eventually assignments would be made for information collection (this of course does not limit research prior to a time that outreach is to be made by an assigned liaison.  And it certainly does not limit individuals in making any personal contacts that they wish)
TBD based upon cabinet discussions related to https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4838.msg40860#msg40860
As with any government, the positions are in part based upon political and policy decisions, and certainly the whole system could be abandoned by a future government, or changed and adopted in different ways.

A quick update: This first episode of the Abbavilla Digest has been a fun but heavy lift. Hoping to hit publish within the next few days.
Publishing tomorrow, it is by far the longest original video created by Fora Talossa.
