Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on January 25, 2026, 04:56:34 PMI'd be interested in Westarctica, Ladonia, and would suggest we add the Dominion of Vancouver Island which is active and nearby (for Talossans in Canada's British Columbia).

Also Asgardia seems to be another self-serious outfit.

I suppose the sequence of events here would be to first act as a liaison to gather information, and to determine if there would be mutual interest in establishing formal relations.

I wanted to confirm then, under this process, I would act as an investigator for:

Asgardia
Dominion of Vancouver Island
Westarctica
Ladonia

Clarification still in progress - which ONE of these would you have the greatest connection to already?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 04:13:22 PMNow that there is going to be a permanent secretary for advising the Government on humanitarian aid, I'd think the appropriate thing would be to contact the secretary, who will be using their expertise to advise us on the appropriate destination for the designated funds set aside for this purpose in our budget.

I am hoping whenever that person is named to work with them directly. Looking forward to seeing the announcement of the appointment.

To help make this happen, as well as some edits on TalossaWiki, I'll be re-introducing Days of Observance.  These are special one-off holidays, and they may be requested by citizens who have made a certain number of wiki improvements.  Upon request, I will attempt to celebrate each one in some appropriate way (or as suggested by the citizen).

WHEREAS, for inexplicable reasons, last term, the Ziu rejected (61RZ22) funding a BHAID contribution to an organization working to alleviate one of the world's most dire humanitarian crises, and

WHEREAS, according to the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA): "With over 25 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and nearly 10 million displaced, Sudan faces an unprecedented crisis...", and

WHEREAS, SAPA provides life-saving healthcare, essential medicines, and vital food supplies to families who have lost everything."

WHEREAS, we note the scale and gravity of the mass suffering has not prevented it from being overshadowed by other conflicts but it has not escaped the concern of the Talossan people.

THEREFORE, the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa directs the Bureau of Humanitarian Aid and International Development (BHAID) to make a one-time contribution of $50 (USD), to the Sudanese American Physicians Association to assist with their efforts in relieving the suffering of the Sudanese people, at https://sapa-usa.org/hope-for-sudan/.

I would think that as you are the SVA, and the SKA is not as active, you might be the best contact for the Coletx.

Natively, I speak English, I have a good command of French and German, some knowledge of Modern Greek and Hebrew, and I also studied Ancient Egyptian for a little bit (and obviously I'm studying Talossan and Latin).

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on Yesterday at 12:55:44 PMI'm fluent in Polish which is my native, German which is my second and English which is my third.

Polish and German interest me a lot. I know some basic German, but I don't know anything about Polish, although I find it beautiful when written.

It's very easy, trust me.

I speak English, Tagalog and Hokkien fluently. I also studied Esperanto but that was awhile ago lol

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Yesterday at 12:47:44 AMI know we've compared our constitutional structure to Australia before -- and in fact I believe @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC has stated that similarities are intentional

The main force in writing the 1997 Organic Law was E. Gallagher, who was (and still is) an Australian lawyer, and that's why large sections look just like the Australian constitution.

I would also point out that, in being able to vote down the Budget and thus collapse a Government, Australia's Senate is stupidly overpowered by global Upper House standards - almost as much so as the US Senate, where the less democratic House is *more* powerful because that's what passed for cutting-edge political thought in 1787.

The underlying theme of this bill is that Talossa is *not* a federal country, the provinces post-date the Kingdom, and thus the more democratically elected House should have final say.
