I would like to request a seat in parliament if possible please.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Ministry of Immigration wishes to announce that our target immigration rate is 1.0 per month on average.  While quality is more important than quantity, a lower bound on the expected rate of naturalizations is a good benchmark of a functioning immigration system.  It is not the whole picture, but it's a useful piece of the picture.

This and other postings will continue to be available on this page, and any significant changes will be accompanied by a public announcement.

Bumping this in hopes Sir Ian can get his Coat of Arms updated.

What did you think about Asgardia? They are quite an interesting group.

Submitted a draft of the information liaison report for Asgardia. Once this one is approved I am ready to start work on the next one.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on February 24, 2026, 11:39:35 AMOkay, I have the green cord and I'll have a chance to print off some drafts this week.  The goal is to get these done and sent out next month.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. We are thinking of hanging it on the fridge.

Later this week, the Government will be directing the Chancery to send out a public service announcement to citizens, notifying them about the new format of El List del Seneschal.  This announcement will describe the new features of the page, since it's centralizing so much useful information for the first time.  It already had a list of all the Title C and D offices, but now the updated page will:

• list the contact information for everyone, in a single accessible place,
• provide lists of all staff members in different places in government,
• notify people about important policies,
• and list job openings in which people might be interested.

All of this makes our government much more transparent and much more accountable, and we expect the page to continue to improve over time.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Petanque and bocce are similar, yet distinct, target-based ball games. Petanque (French) uses small, steel balls thrown while standing stationary, often on gravel. Bocce (Italian) features larger, resin/wood balls rolled on a long, smooth, manicured court. Petanque is "feet together," while Bocce is a "rolling" game.

Balls (Boules): Petanque balls are smaller, made of steel, and hollow. Bocce balls are larger, colored, and made of solid, dense material.

Throwing Style: Petanque uses an underhand toss with a palm-down (backspin) motion. Bocce uses an underhand roll with a palm-up motion.

Stance: Petanque players must keep both feet together inside a small, marked circle. Bocce allows players to step forward and walk during their throw.

Court: Petanque is played on almost any terrain (gravel, dirt, parkland). Bocce requires a dedicated, flat court with wooden sideboards.

Court Size: Petanque courts are generally smaller (approx. 50 feet long) compared to the long lanes of bocce (approx. 90 feet long).

Objective: Both games aim to land closer to a small target ball (cochonnet in petanque, pallino in bocce) than the opponent.

Okay, I have the green cord and I'll have a chance to print off some drafts this week.  The goal is to get these done and sent out next month.
