Other than that the map is really well done.

Isn't the map already metric...?

Azul, as the new Permanent Secretary of the newly estabilished Office of the Symbols of Nationhood within the Ministry of Culture I figured I would provide a plan of what I want to do.

First and foremost, I will continue to update and refresh the Talossan Manual on Road Signage and Signals. Additionally I will work on including a number plate design for low and zero emission vehicles (plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, etc). I hope that the number plates will be avaliable as plastic decorations one could hang up on the wall or put behind the windscreen of their car or as a keychain with custom text.

Second, if I recall correctly, there was a concept of an oval registration sticker with RT on it, of which there even were physical versions of it. I want to bring that back, except it will have the ISO 639-3 code TZL on it, along with other designs and other Talossan stickers.

Third, if it would be allowed, I would improve my existing driving licence concept and make a Talossan passport concept which should be a fantasy passport with clear disclaimers that it's a fantasy passport and therefore not a real document. The driving licence should get similar disclaimers as well.

I hope that my plans are going to be received well and here's to hoping that I will actually make the stuff listed here.

Really nice map, one thing that would be good, in my opinion, would be to inclute metric measurements as well, it's our offical system of measurment after all.

Beautiful work!

That's a good thing :)

Non laßa-me
Non laßa-me soleu, v'amor,
non laßa-me.

¿Qet façarhéu cadascu morgun sanc dtu?

Tu isch l'alegrançă de vaes ziuăs,
oxhi non serà noastra fim;
cün dtu seréu toctziuă;
sanc dtu mortadréu unciatim

¡Non va, v'amor, non va!
non laßa-me aicì,
schi tu non isch cün me,
¿qet put-éu façar?

For the first time in forty-four years, Talossa's national baseball team is going to the World Series. Last night in Los Angeles, the Maricopa Brewers -- known abroad, for reasons of foreign confusion, as the Milwaukee Brewers -- came back from four runs down to beat the Dodgers.  The Brewers have never won a World Series.  Our country, which has won every war it ever fought (all one of them), knows something about improbable records.  I see no reason this year should be any different.  So wear your blue and gold, catch the games wherever you are, and post your predictions, superstitions, and box scores on Wittenberg.  Go Brewers, and Sà viva el Regeu!

On 16 October 1984, the Milwaukee Sentinel ran "He's Eastern monarch -- East Side, that is," the first article about Talossa ever to appear in the foreign press, and 40,000 Milwaukeeans woke up to discover they were living in a foreign country.  The man who arranged it was Dan Laurieir -- the same Dan Laurieir who, three years earlier, had won our first election on a promise to abolish the place.  Within a year of that article, Talossa had new citizens, new political parties, an opposition newspaper, and an elected Cosa. Publicity made Talossa bigger than one bedroom.

Forty-two years later, the value of publicity remains, even though the form is very different!  So today, tell one person.  Share a Wittenberg thread you're proud of, send a friend the link to talossa.com, post about us somewhere new, or just mention at dinner that you're a citizen of a kingdom on Milwaukee's East Side and see what happens.  Heck, maybe you want to have one of our new maps printed and put it up somewhere.  Our fiftieth birthday is three years out, but I'd like to arrive there with even more company!
