Last post by Mic’haglh Autófil, O.Be - September 02, 2025, 11:17:32 AMEstimat Mençei,
I thank the Senator for his question. Ministry records, as collected in the Infotecă system, would indicate that the period of April to July of this year saw 31 applications, with an additional 12 in August by my count, for a total of 43 so far (excluding the two just posted so far in September). If we extrapolate this out through the end of November, that would imply the nation is on pace for 69 applications in the period between the conclusion of most recent election and the conclusion of the next one.
For comparison, using the same period between elections, previous Cosas saw the following application numbers:
- 60th Cosă: 69
- 59th Cosă: 62
- 58th Cosă: 86
- 57th Cosă: 66
These would appear to bear out the Government's assertions that the issue lies in keeping prospective citizens interested in Talossan life and maintaining an atmosphere that encourages immigration, as opposed to getting people to apply in the first place.

El Ziu/The Ziu / [Terplaziun] for the Minister ...
Last post by GV - September 02, 2025, 12:52:55 AMMy question is for the Minister of Public Records. Opposition politicians have been saying that this Government's performance on immigration has been notoriously bad, issuing calls for urgent action of some unspecified nature. Can the Minister provide any public records to compare immigration application levels in this Cosa with previous terms?

Stage 9 was one for the favourites and was decided on the final climb. Vingegaard showed why was the favourite by attacking and finishing solo. It wasn't enough to get the red jersey just yet, but he gained time on all his competitors including Almeida (CFA/DED/REX) who finished in third, just behind Pidcock (BDC/DED/EVC/REX/VFL), who had a very strong day and gained several spots in GC, as did Gall (EVC), while Ciccone (CHX/CJO/GHS/MCB) dropped back to 6th place in GC as a result.
With Soler, Fortunato and Pellizzari also scoring points it was a very strong day for BdC, who scored the most points, just ahead of Esqipă Velocostă. GHST retain a commanding lead, but they have been in that position for most of every leg this year and it hasn't resulted in a win yet. Perhaps third time's the charm?
Standings after stage 9:
Today was the first restday for the peloton. Tomorrow we get a stage that's very much like yesterday's, ending on a first category climb. It may well be another day for the GC favourites unless a big break gets away.

Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - September 01, 2025, 01:30:17 PMYeah, I'm voting Per.
For those wondering who this bill specifically honors...well it's stated explicitly in the bill and I will highlight it here:
"Be it further resolved, that we honor the commitment of the Bureau's founders, public servants in the Foreign Affairs ministry, and donors from the Talossan community and beyond, whose collective efforts have helped the Kingdom to advance human dignity and international solidarity."
Notice this does not single out one person for honor. Please take this opportunity to celebrate Talossa's hunanitarianism and to rise above the low politics of this moment.

Wittenberg / [Royal] Monarchy Day Proclamat...
Last post by King Txec - September 01, 2025, 12:17:41 PM
Celebration of Monarchy Day
On this first day in September, we celebrate the resumption of the Monarchy with the accession of King Florence.
Florence is best remembered as the Monarch who helped the concept of a constitutional monarchy flourish in Talossa.
On behalf of all those who've come before Us on Our Throne, and on behalf of a grateful nation, we celebrate this day and look forward to the future of Talossa.
Given under Our hand Royal at the city of Riverside this first day of September, in the year of salvation 2025, of the independence of Talossa the forty-sixth, and of Our reign the first.

Last post by Baron Alexandreu Davinescu - September 01, 2025, 10:38:13 AMI voted on the database. I abstained from the only bill under consideration, since on the one hand I think BHAID is generally unobjectionable, but on the other hand I an loathe to vote in favor of a bill that essentially just exists to congratulate an MC (especially this one).
