Pierogi is already the plural, the singular form would be pieróg.

I thank the Minister for his reply; while the other information is indeed welcome, it appears that at its core, his answer to my question is "no", so as a supplementary question, why was it the Government was unaware? The current government campaigned in the last election on a fifty-word statement that said in part: "Promote the fun stuff that's happening... and let the world know about our amazing little nation!" Participating in this event along with many other micronational delegations would have been a fantastic opportunity to "let the world know about our amazing little nation", and it seems a major oversight on their part not to have investigated. The Seneschal is in the MicroWiki discord, the same place I myself learned of this event. How did the Government manage to drop the ball?

It would be great to take part in lots of events, and it was unfortunate that this one was missed this year but perhaps can be placed on future calendars.

Of note for next year is that both the King and I have registered to MicroCon 27, and others are encouraged to do so while the early bird pricing is still in effect until 5 April in the USA and likely a similar time in Europe  https://us.microcon27.com/a-warning-from-microcon-27/

My Talossan flag was one I ordered off eBay for maybe $15. It was from some Chinese company. (Just type in "Micronation flag" on eBay, you'll find it.) It's hanging on my wall now, and is okay, I guess. A little flimsy. 
Vitxalmour Conductour designed a flag for our Cjovani subculture. If I could figure out how to share pictures on here, I'd show you. Anyhow, I found this Anley flag making company. I uploaded a picture of our Cjovani flag to them...in a couple of weeks, they sent me the flag. (It was like $26.)
This is a nice flag. Sturdy and way better quality than the Chinese Talossan flag. Unlike the Chinese flag, I'd feel confident that I could stick this flag outside, and it could withstand the weather for a few years.
Just throwing this out there as a suggestion for Talossans wanting a decent quality flag.

The region of Ohio I live in has a large population of Polish descendants, and a lot of Polish foods are commonplace around here. I was a dumb hick from southeast Texas when I first moved up here; I had never heard of pierogis. I remember the first time I heard the word kielbasa, I had no idea what it was. "It's a sausage", a pal told me. I thought he was saying "Kill Bossy" (Bossy being a cow's name in my mind), and I thought that was a horrible name for a sausage. (Yeah, I was pretty dumb back then.)
As for pierogis, I still don't particularly like them, but my wife sometimes makes them, and they're okay. She mainly makes the potato ones. I do like Kill Bossy, tho.
I have never lost my love for the food I grew up on in Texas, most of which is impossible to find in Ohio. My local Walmart actually sells crawfish, (frozen, pre-seasoned and cooked), and while not as good as what you'd get at a live crawfish boil, it's okay. A few local Chinese restaurants serve crawfish, but advertise them as "baby lobsters". I could have live crawfish shipped to me from Louisiana, but it's too expensive.
Anyhow, my beloved food? Boudin. In Texas, we spell it boudain for some reason. It's a type of sausage made with rice. I did order some of that from a place in Louisiana. I contemplated getting a meat grinder/sausage stuffer, and trying to make my own. A boudin link for breakfast is a thing of joy, washed down with some Cafe du Monde coffee.

Pierogi ruskie, my favourites.

Quote from: Béneditsch Ardpresteir on March 19, 2026, 02:51:31 AMWhy is @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be tainting the national flag with a sable column?

I have been curious about this as well. I had wondered if it was like flying the United States flag upside down?

Wonderful. I believe then we can use the blazon "Azure, crossed swords proper beneath an atom Or." I would like to submit this blazon and emblazon to the Squirrel Viceroy of Arms @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu who will then, upon approval, present it to the King (me) for our next day of Honours.

Your Majesty @King Txec, I think I failed to made you understand. However, I am gonna trying to make you understand again. I wanted that the logo shape will remain same as before also the background. I wanted the atom model at the super middle of the logo. Then the two swords will be curved according to the logo shape . the two swords handle will start from the bottom point of the logo. then the two will go upward as curved on the direction of the the logo shape. And they both will stop after rising just the arms of the two sides of the logo

I believe I understand. Let me just say that I'm not a graphic artist, I'm a Herald in the College of Arms. The main task is to create an appropriate blazon (the description) and we do our best to create a visual representation of that as well. If this example isn't quite what you want, you might try creating it yourself to at least give me more information.

Your Majesty, @King Txec
Thank you very much for your kind explanation and for the effort you have already put into the design. I truly appreciate your role as a Herald and the work you do in creating both the blazon and its visual representation.
I would like to respectfully say that the design you have provided is already very close to what I had envisioned, and I genuinely like and prefer it. It reflects my idea quite well, and I am satisfied with it.
Thank you once again, Your Majesty.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on March 13, 2026, 04:44:51 PMIf I'm not wrong, being vegetarian is when you don't eat meat only, so I suggest any type of pierogi with a filling not made with meat as well, basically anything flour or potato-based without meat. I would also suggest making vegetable salad without meat (still a traditional Polish side dish even though it originated in Russia).

My mother's family has long done the traditional Christmas Eve pierogi, but in our case it's always been a simple filling of potato, cheese, and onion, which as a mostly-vegetarian myself I am glad to not miss out on.

One other suggestion for the Baron: roast vegetable salad. Diced sweet potato, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli on a tray in the oven, toss with mixed greens. Use the leftover vegetables with eggs in a hash for breakfast one day on the weekend. Simple, versatile, tasty.
