Congratulations and welcome officially to Talossa!

-Txec R

This programme began four years ago under Seneschal Sir Ian Plätschisch, and the rules are simple:

Every time you qualify for an award, I will issue a Prüm Diktat declaring an official Day of Observance of your choice for the entire Kingdom of Talossa.  I will also post a picture of myself celebrating your Day of Observance.

I will do my best to honour your wishes.  In the past, we've had Days of Observance for "Coffee Day," "Day of the Automobile," "Potato Day," and a day dedicated to a very gross sandwich that Sir Ian gamely tried to create and consume.

To qualify for an award, you need to make a total of either

• 5 edits on our Wikipedia article
  
  Please post here to claim your Day of Observance, tell me what we're celebrating, and tell me how you think I should celebrate it.  There is no upper limit on how many times you can do this, and I will do my level best to follow your instructions.

You are very thoughtful about how you use your power, always respecting the democratic processes, so I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it that way.

Congratulations @Halén Bozogularis !

(Small note since we reached a Big Round Number: as explained here, there aren't actually 600 all-time Talossans. The actual number, Halén included, is 552.)

WHEREAS Halén Bozogularis has completed all the legal requirements for admission to the Kingdom of Talossa, and has satisfied the nation and us of his interest in Talossan citizenship (the Best Thing Money Can't Buy), of his intention and desire to participate in our national life, and of his loyalty to the Crown, we are pleased and honoured hereby to admit Halén Bozogularis to the exalted status of the 600th NATURALISED CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF TALOSSA, and of the province of Atatürk, with all the rights, privileges, and duties thereunto appertaining.

Done by my hand in the name of King Txec and under his Royal Seal this 5th day of February in the year of the common era 2026, in the second year of the reign of our gracious sovereign King Txec, and of the independence of Talossa the 47th.

Just a note that it looks like funding for postage might not be approved by the Senate, so that might significantly delay distribution of awards.  Just want to give everyone fair notice ahead of time.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 08:10:43 AMBefore addressing the merits of the bill, I have to note that it seems to be implying that His Majesty is a "strongman."  I assume that's just inelegant phrasing, but it's probably something you want to fix.

I had the same thought when I read the bill.

I will note that I was a co-sponsor of the bill in the 44th Cosa that changed the original wording of the oath removing the words "to her sovereign king" and the word "pious" (as in pious fidelity).

I'd also like to hear how the current oath conflicts with organic rights.

Strongman...sure.
