The last provision is "FURTHERMORE, all the changes described in this bill shall only take effect after ratification by referendum," so the statutory change is held up until the referendum passes to ratify the rest.

Excuse me, how does this fix the timing issue I mentioned earlier?

Azul.

With much regret the Chancery, having noted that the citizens noted below have failed to vote or respond to a national census within the last two years, issues the present to serve as Writ of Termination for the same citizens, pursuant to Article X Section 5 of the Organic Law.

Sir Lüc da Schir
Secretar d'Estat / Secretary of State

Okay, I think that's everything?  I also fixed the blank section of that article.

THEREFORE, be it enacted that the following provision be added to el Lexhatx as subsubsection H.4.1.1:

QuoteThe total number of party seats is twenty.

FURTHERMORE, Org.IV.4, which currently reads:

Quote1. In addition to the seats apportioned between parties after a General Election, the Secretary of State shall assign one Cosa seat to any citizen who becomes eligible to vote after the most recent Election Deadline but before the dissolution of the Cosa, upon the request of such citizen, up to a maximum number as this Organic Law might provide. Any additional seat so assigned shall cease to exist should its holder vacate or be removed from the seat and shall not be subject to the procedures for filling vacancies in the Cosa, and shall also cease to exist upon the dissolution of the Cosa.. (sic)
2. The maximum number of seats that may be assigned to new citizens between general elections shall be 7.5% of the seats apportioned between parties, rounded up to a whole number of seats.

shall be struck from the law.

FURTHERMORE, Section 5 of Article IV, which currently reads:

QuoteEach person holding one or more seats is a representative known as a "Member of the Cosa" (MC). MCs may not be removed from office except by a two-thirds vote by the Cosa and approval by the King. An MC vacates his seats if he fails to vote on two consecutive Clarks, or if he resigns from office or dies. The seats of any MC who is removed or vacates shall be reassigned according to Section 4, above.

shall be renumbered as Section 4 and altered to instead read:

QuoteEach person holding one or more seats is a representative known as a "Member of the Cosa" (MC). MCs may not be removed from office except by a two-thirds vote by the Cosa and approval by the King. An MC vacates his seats if he fails to vote on two consecutive Clarks, or if he resigns from office or dies. The seats of any MC who is removed or vacates shall be reassigned according to Section 3, above.

FURTHERMORE, Section 6 of Article IV shall be renumbered as Section 5,

FURTHERMORE, Section 7 of Article IV shall be renumbered as Section 6,

FURTHERMORE, Section 8 of Article IV shall be renumbered as Section 7,

FURTHERMORE, Section 12 of Article IV shall be renumbered as Section 10,

FURTHERMORE, all the changes described in this bill shall only take effect after ratification by referendum and after a full calendar year has passed, and will otherwise be considered to be null and void.

Today, announcement of the appointement of our new Seneschal, on X/Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Instagram, r/Talossa and r/Micronations

These conclude my appointments at this time, and so the above individuals shall constitute my Cabinet: a government of Talossa which has as its first goal the good service of every Talossan and the nation as a whole.

Your Majesty, may I request these appointments of you?

My final appointment is another double one, since þerxh Sant-Enogat has agreed to take on the job as his own boss in the Ministry of Propaganda.  If you have social media, you've already seen the amazing work he's been doing!

I will be taking a direct hand in helping him, however, since the workload is going to be dramatic.  We're talking about updating the websites in dramatic fashion, updating the wiki, establishing more rules for conduct on the wiki after some recent problems, the production of short-form videos and interacting with people in this medium: Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube Shorts, continued promotion of cultural events of any kind, and a review of the continued viability of the way we do L'Chronica.  It's too much for any one person, and we'll need to prioritize and invite on extra help.

Aglhorc:

Éu perventüră requestéu, qe Voastra Maxhestà apünta þerxh Sant-Enogat àl óifisch del Ministreu dal Propagandă, es lo quaxhitéu à servar el Legeu Orgänic es sieu Regeu àl miglhor da sieux capacitaes.

So then:

I hereby request that His Majesty appoint þerxh Sant-Enogat to the office of Minister of Propaganda, and I urge him to serve the Organic Law and his King to the best of his abilities.

Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs.

Voting will last 96 hours (4 days) or until there are at least three voters. The top two songs from each group advance to the Final.

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- 24-hour tiebreaker round
- Random chance

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.
