Azul. In my capacity as Cunstavál of Atatürk, I would like to once again attempt to kickstart the House of Commons into activity.

This time, there really is no way for Atatürk to simply postpone the issue to the next term, as the Constitution specifically sets the size of the House to one-tenth of the Cosă, meaning that, unless the provision is amended, the next House would have just two seats. As I said before, the Constitution itself greatly ties my hands, meaning I can be of very limited assistance unless parties can finally seat a majority of the House with good-willing members; however, there are some tools (e.g. OrgLaw VII.3.15) I am exploring using to try and avert that upcoming disaster.

Now, to the usual part. The House of Commons will have 20 seats, pursuant to Article II.1 of the Constitution of Atatürk. The most recent election resulted in 5 votes being cast for the Progressive Alliance and 4 for the URL, with one left blank (but not marked PRESENT) and 6 explicitly marked PRESENT.

This therefore translates into an allocation of:

- 11 seats for the Progressive Alliance @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu
- 9 for the URL @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be / @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC

Please assign the seats as required by Article II.2 (to adult Atatürkeys, without a Talossan criminal record, and who have voted in the most recent General Election). As a personal plea, please keep in mind the risk of the House of Commons shrinking to two seats if action is not taken during this term. Thank you.

Stage 12  »  Vera  ›  Calar Alto

Summary lifted from PCS: After 40km, a breakaway formed containing Wout van Aert, Santiago Buitrago, and Jakob Omrzel. Omrzel gained time for the general classification, virtually moving to second place. Attacks among favorites occurred on climbs, with Enric Mas gaining 27 seconds. Omrzel soloed to victory, becoming the second youngest stage winner in Vuelta history.

BDC gets the stagewin and gains 100pts on its most likely direct (distant) competitor for the final win, Naziun Cjovani.

How does the member feel about Talossa's claims to Cézembre and Péngöpäts?

As in past years the computer will select a random draft order and it will be a "snake" draft. This means that the order reverses after each round. So if you pick first in the first round you pick last in the second round and then first again in the third round and so on. I managed to once again pick a date for the draft which I will not be able to attend online so the computer will be picking my team for me LOL

Co-sponsors welcome. :)

Quote from: King Txec on August 28, 2026, 01:27:20 PMWe further call upon our BHAID to investigate how the People of Talossa can alleviate, in at least some small part, the suffering now unfolding.

Thank you.

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir , what do you think?

It's only been a week but with the flurry of election events I wanted to be sure we didn't lose track of the King's encouragement. @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir and current Seneschal @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu a gentle nudge of a reminder.

Whereas, the Kingdom of Talossa, as a nation situated on unceded Indigenous territory, recognizes that the historical experience of colonialism has had profound and lasting impacts on societies, cultures, and systems of knowledge across the world, and

Whereas, scholars and thinkers have identified the continuing effects of coloniality, meaning the persistence of structures of power, hierarchy, and cultural dominance rooted in the colonial era even after the formal end of colonial rule, and

Whereas, the concept of the coloniality of power, as described by sociologist Aníbal Quijano, explains how patterns of socioeconomic classification and cultural authority established during colonial rule continue to shape global institutions and social relations, and

Whereas, decolonial thought also highlights the coloniality of knowledge, whereby certain intellectual traditions, particularly those developed in Europe and the West, have historically been treated as universal, or otherwise privileged, while other systems of knowledge have been marginalized or disregarded, and

Whereas, the intellectual movement known as Decoloniality seeks to critically examine these inherited hierarchies and promote recognition of the diverse ways of knowing, being, and understanding the world that exist across human societies, and

Whereas, engagement with decolonial perspectives encourages societies to reflect on historical legacies, expand intellectual pluralism, and promote greater respect for cultural diversity.

Therefore, be it the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that:

It affirms the value of ongoing global conversations concerning decoloniality and the examination of the enduring legacies of colonial structures, and

That the Ziu supports the recognition of a plurality of cultural traditions, intellectual frameworks, and historical experiences as part of the shared heritage of humanity, and

That the Ziu encourages Talossans and the international community to approach these discussions in a spirit of curiosity, humility, and respect for diverse perspectives, and

That the Kingdom of Talossa expresses its support for scholarship, dialogue, and cooperation aimed at addressing the historical and contemporary impacts of colonialism while promoting mutual understanding among cultures.
