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.

Possible translations to Talossan (I will be looking for assistance here)

bolă (ball/boule) unsure on how to pluralize

tocă (target/cochonnet/pallino)

camp (court)

castar (toss) sub ma or subma? (underhand) afust (palm)  under (down)

ped (foot plural?) postiun (together)

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.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 23, 2026, 10:02:37 PMYou mentioned something called liquid democracy in another thread and I am attracted to that system. I believe the German Pirate Party uses it to some extent. Do you have ideas on how it might be implemented in Talossa? Florencia's constitutional reform has the potential for radical solutions.

A more straightforward form of this would be proxy voting. Florencians would be given the choice of claiming a seat in the assembly directly, or to delegate their seat to someone else. M-M already operates under this system, but I don't remember the last time votes were delegated there.

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be @mximo Governor and Senator, this is something to be considered in Florencia's Constitutional Reform Committee once you all are ready to dig in.

Traditional Japanese?

Yes, they are both quite traditional. My grandmother also liked them.

Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on February 24, 2026, 07:55:12 AMWell for clarity, I feel like I do. If we could have some help with funding, I'm happy to proceed, if a group of us are intrested that is, I don't want to have to solo it. Set us up as a group, point me in the direction of any Talossan music we already have, we may want some governmental oversight via MinProp, as well as direct ties to governmental agendas and events.

What is your back of the envelope funding idea?  The original idea of the King was to provide a place for playing of musical hits associated with the kingdom. that could be accomplished with a Spotify or Pandora list. If it's something that's evolving into news and information or other custom content, a more detailed plan would need to be built.  An interim step there might be to associate with an existing public station that has web broadcasting, make requests there for songs, and also place public service announcements that would be read occasionally.  This could prototype any kind of station that the kingdom would eventually enable.
