While I mostly agree with you, as long as we don't have precedents or rules governing it, what you said is opinion and not fact - moreso because the Seneschal doesn't and shouldn't have any particular authority over the Ziu's operations.

Parliaments worldwide handle this stuff in wildly different ways and since the Ziu is not based on any individual one, we just can't make gut-feeling assumptions.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on January 10, 2026, 08:56:20 AMIt's an interesting question, actually. In Germany, ministers who aren't MPs are allowed to participate in debates when the bill in question is on a topic that's part of their portfolio, in order to represent Government policies. I would be in favour of allowing something like this in Talossa, too.

And this is precisely a perfect example of what I was getting at.

Very cool!

How weird, I got motivation to make something again.

Hello folks, as a private donor I am issuing an appeal to join me in making a donation to the Bureau for Humanitarian Aid and International Development (BHAID). I am pledging to match a total of $100 USD to the BHAID so that we can hopefully raise at least $200 USD to go toward BHAID's contributions to relief and development globally. The end of the private appeal will be February 10, 2026!

I quote these inspiring words from the BHAID's founding legislation:

Quote"Whereas Talossa recognizes and realizes, in a desire to contribute to the shared concerns and common destiny of the human family, its conscience as a people."

By giving to BHAID, you become part of a global effort of compassion — helping those who need it most to find safety, stability, and a future worth living.

If you have a specific cause you would encourage the BHAID to consider contributing then please be sure to make the clear as well. When I donate I will likely be suggesting cancer research funding or humanitarian support to Haiti or Venezuela.

For more information on the BHAID please visit https://bhaid.wordpress.com/ (the website is old but hopefully the next Administrator will update it)

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to humanity.

Whereabouts in Ohio?

Weren't you from New Zealand originally?

The Chancery is in receipt of this request and hereby confirms it has reassigned Iac Marscheir to be a citizen of Belacostă, pursuant to Lex.E.7.3, E.7.3.1 and E.7.5.



Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretar d'Estat / Secretary of State

My current location of residence is within the boundaries of our Big Brother's state of Ohio, which, as far as I can tell, is within the catchment area of the Province of Belacostă.

I think I'd like to make that state of affairs official.

You two are perfect for each other.

I am relieved and grateful. @mximo and @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir We will need to nominate a new governor who will hopefully be present and able to fulfill the duties.

I resign as governor.

You two are perfect for each other.
