I would like to file a petition for injuctive relief but am unsure who would receive the petition. As I read the Cort Rules, we are not to directly post our petition in the Courthouse threads. Do we have a Clerk of Corts? If not, then could you advise on the correct procedures to file the petition?

The Baron Seneschal is the Clerk.

Azul all,

I have always said that what makes the Kingdom of Talossa special is that it allows people to engage meaningfully in activities that they otherwise would not be able to in other contexts. In that spirit I have been pleased to have served as El Capitán da l'Altahál for the past year, recognizing the contributions of citizens who have really made this place their own.

I have no intention of fully withdrawing from Talossa any time soon, but I do have a number of other commitments and I have been trying to reduce how many things I am obligated to look at regularly. This means I will probably be checking in around here less frequently, and, as a result, I am no longer in a position to be a good Captain. I hereby step down from my post effective immediately, with thanks to His Majesty, the Most Honourable Seneschal, and all the members of the Zuoaves.

Best,
Ian P.

P.S. I think this means my only remaining position is that of Puisne Justice, which, given that cases come in at a clip of one or two per year, I think I can manage. You all know where to find me.

IIRC:

The royal title got "Head of the Church, Defender of the Faith" appended in blatant imitation/parody of Henry VIII back when KR1 was self-identified as an atheist. This was simply carried forward until the drafting of the 1997 Organic Law, when Matthias Muth got the word "Unorthodox" added to the title in Article III Section 3 to eliminate any claim to any real church. The "Head of the Unorthodox Church" bit was then deleted by amendment post-KR1 because King John was a member of the Orthodox Church.

Subsequently, we had a massive revision of the Organic Law that completely eliminated the title section. Now the title is codified in El Lexhatx, L6, as:

"__________ (name), by the Grace of God, King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk."

Oh, don't worry -- we're going to keep bugging the Ladintsch Naziunal very regularly.  But he's not our supervisor, and I think it's entirely possible for me to undertake some translation efforts or to ask someone else to do something like that, and then check with him as necessary for accuracy.

I mean, just the other day I dared to translate the Prime Minister's Patriotic Award to "Pretz Pätriotic del Seneschal" all by my lonesome, and then double-checked with him for accuracy.  I don't think that was wrong of me, even though I didn't tell him about my plans to do that ahead of time.

Yes, I got the procedure mixed up. Apparently it has to be reviewed by the CRL before being Clarked.

Gotcha, just wanted to check Francal.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 01:51:56 PMKR1 for a time bore the title "Head of the Unorthodox Church", which was never a real thing. I'm sure you know for the greater part of his reign he was a Latter-Day Saint.

Now I'm even more glad he's changed his ways now.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 27, 2026, 07:20:14 AMCould you give an example of legislation that's truly vital that we've been unable to pass thanks to the Senäts?

The most recent example was the Public Process Act Mark 1!

I think that's a great example to bring up, yes.  It didn't pass, and then it featured as a huge election issue, and now a revised version (a better version!) just passed unanimously.

I don't think it would have particularly been better if the Cosa could have just forced it through anyway.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 02:03:23 PMA few years ago, a Free Democrat Senäts majority simply refused to pass *any* TNC government legislation for a time. Regardless of the wisdom of that political tactic*, there was no talk at the time of needing to get the majority of provincial representatives onside. The talk at the time was that this was an illegitimate use of power. Are we to infer that the Senäts' power to thwart the Cosa's will is good only when the Baron considers it for good ends?

I'd be very surprised if you could find that I demanded a reduction of Senäts power at the time.  Sometimes a principle is a good thing, even if it doesn't benefit your agenda at the moment.
