Unless you are expecting a sudden surge in volunteers then it does not seem prudent to limit that to one per micronation, especially, when you are limiting those who have the capacity and willingness to take on more than one...

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?

Probably Asgardia. But if we are limited representation to one then it will be odd to treat ambassadorships with more selectivity than cabinet ministries, XPB.

Baby steps - conceptually a liaison would investigate and assemble information, such that contact could be established by the government.  Then if diplomatic relationships are desirable, then an Ambassador would be named. 

One at a time while this is developing would be a prudent approach.  It may be possible that a many to one relationship could be established in the future.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 26, 2026, 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).

Now 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.

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.
