Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 11:37:11 AMI'm okay with it the way it is, I think.  If we do transfer that territory, then we can handle that then.

Is it really a territory transfer if that's what the border was meant to be all this time? If anything we're just properly specifying it.

EDIT: 43RZ27 explicitly states that Las Inaltans Maxhestici consists of "Port Maxhestic west of North Lincoln Memorial Drive (the portions of US Census Tract 1874 within Talossan territory)", and the eastern border of US Census Tract 1874, as I've previously shown, follows N Lincoln Memorial Dr, then the onramp onto I-794, and then I-794 proper until it reaches the southern border. It would be silly to ignore this explicit reference just because current statute is underspecified, and there is no good argument to prefer my previous guess at the border over this specific reference either. Reinforcing the border as originally defined is not a territory transfer in my opinion.

Today, we proudly publish the magnificent map of our Realm on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and r/Talossa

On the water tower, M-M law states: B.2. Maritiimi-Maxhestic rightfully claims the Historic Water Tower, but also recognizes Vuode's claim to the water contained within the Tower.

But I know Vuode has not recognized that, and national law trumps on this one, so realistically I think the thing to do is split the tower and then add a note to the places list (which will also be funny).

I don't know if Talossa has one specific goal. Much like meaning in life it is determined by the dreams and needs of each citizen. My goal in Talossa is to contribute to something greater than I as an individual. And thus to leave a legacy of improvement that speaks of my story when I no longer can. In.the past this has meant politics with the BHAID and Senses of the Ziu on important matters. More recently it has meant persevering against state-sanctioned harassment so that it does not happen to others.

Even the bitter parts of life through appreciation of all experience can have sweetness. I therefore think Talossa can be another way that we explore our humanity whether through the light or the darkness.

Updated like ten million times as I fix all the little bits and bobs of naming and borders.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 09:54:03 AMTafi, I wanted to save you some trouble, so I tried my hand at the diacritics.  I think these are the ones that needed to change: Fiovă, Florenciă, Fluvia Montevudio, Cüfeir, Las Inaltans Maxhestici, Vilatx Freiric, and Dun Cestour?  We don't use that circled I at all or some of the accented Es, right?  I edited my bill to fix the old spellings in other places, too.

Heres the full list of changes:

Flúvia Montevúdio --> Fluviă Montevudio
Cüféir --> Cüfeir
Las Înaltàns Maxhéstici --> Las Inaltans Maxhestici
Florencia --> Florenciă
Sandadia --> Sandadiă
Taglheiria --> Taglheiriă
Zuerieiria --> Zuerieiriă
Ovestia --> Ovestiă
Vilátx Fréiric --> Vilatx Freiric
Dún Cestour --> Dun Cestour
Fiôvâ --> Fiovă

Everything else stays the same.

Okay, I give myself a C+ for my list.  That darn Romanian a!

QuoteAlso, I did some investigation of that border.  There's an onramp that it seems to be following, which is weird.  I think that legally I am more correct, since the tracts were the basis for the law but not the actual law.  If I were to have the map follow the onramp, we'd need to change the law to reflect what are in effect new borders and a change in territory, I think.

Considering that the canton borders were originally defined in terms of census tracts, it would be in the spirit of the law to follow the onramp. If that requires a change to the letter of the law, so be it.

Liz, as you work on a new application, please let me know if you need any help. I would be happy to help.

This is fantastic hun! I would suggest submitting questions to government ministers (terpelaziuns) to supplement this. Let me know if you need help.

Brandon please allow me to co-sponsor your bill?

Yes, of course, hun. I'll add you now.
