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.

Worth a try!

Yeah, I'm still updating -- I guess probably just the board is the place to go.

I'm sure there's stuff I missed, since we've seen a big swell of activity lately.  Some stuff I wasn't sure whether or not to include, since it was announced and nothing happened, but anyone should feel free to post for requested changes.

I don't think I would be the appropriate contact for the Royal College of Arms any longer (plus it lists me as I once was known before I ascended the throne).

This thread continues the efforts of @Ian Plätschisch @Breneir Tzaracomprada, and @þerxh Sant-Enogat.  If you want something added or removed, just post a reply.  The last list was 2/3 inactive, so I started over mostly.


The easiest way to get involved is probably to join the Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard, which will recognize your achievements and encourage you in your activity.

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.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on Yesterday at 09:18:14 AMI'm only fluent in German and English. I can read and write Talossan well, but I can't speak it conversationally yet.

Aside from that, I mostly dabble with constructed or ancient languages like Interlingua, Ithkuil, Sumerian, or what have you.

ithkuil? it's really hard, but interesting

I am enjoying learning about New Ikthuil. The intent behind it is laudable.
And Esperanto, so far, is the only language other than English that I've been able to use in thought.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on Yesterday at 10:41:29 AMNone fluently but I can get by with English.

You're being too modest. If I, as someone who only started learning English at age 8 and has never set foot in an English-speaking country in his life, count as fluent, then you definitely do as well.
