WHEREAS @Shazzad Hossain Shihan has expressed a genuine interest in joining the Kingdom of Talossa and becoming part of its unique community, and

WHEREAS he has demonstrated an interest in the Kingdom, its people, institutions, culture and traditions, and

WHEREAS he seeks to become a citizen of this wonderful micronation and to participate in its civic life, and

WHEREAS he appears to be a friendly, respectful and sincere person who would be a welcome addition to our community, and

WHEREAS I believe that he would contribute positively to Talossa (as a BBA student in Finance & Banking, could bring valuable knowledge and experience in the field of finance and potentially serve as a financial advisor to the community) and

WHEREAS I would be pleased to have him as a fellow citizen from my native country and as a member of our Talossan community,

THEREFORE I, Moinul Moin, a citizen of Atatürk of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen @Shazzad Hossain Shihan, as specified by law.

With the Factbook effort extending through the entirety of the last term it is disappointing to see it is now on hold. It would be of interest to know what caused the hold so as to know whether the hold is indefinite. Perhaps in private?

A national breakfast cereal!? We better get this figured out. We'll need to get nominations and then work with the Chancery to do a special referendum, I think.

Great work!

1. Hiatus of and alternative to draft Foreign Factbook

The initial process envisioned of assigning information liaisons to collect data on other micronational entities is on hiatus due to a variety of internal and external factors, and may resume after the upcoming election.

A proposed interim alternative step will be to add a full page reference to the Kingdom of Talossa to the program for North American Microcon 2027 to be held in San Diego CA USA.  The foreign ministry will solicit designs from citizens for consideration and selection by the King.  An addition to the design will be a link for collection of Factbook information from other entities.

There will be two delegates (the King and another TBD) to that convention August 5-8, 2027.

2. Outreach to the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?

As a student in the ATLAS program at the University of Colorado, I made the suggestion for a theme for the 2026 Whaaat!? Festival to be the creation of a micronation, which was accepted.

Whaat!? embodies the feeling of simultaneous delight and bewilderment when you have a fresh encounter something wonderfully weird.  The Whaaat!? Lab is a hybrid studio-laboratory dedicated to uncovering and fostering that feeling, specifically through experimental games and playful interactivity. It is located within the ATLAS Institute, at CU Boulder.

I will participate in that class, and leverage the history of the Kingdom of Talossa to inform the other students there about micronational concepts through the lens of our long standing nation.  The Whaaat!? festival has a new theme each year, so this blossoming of a new nation may be brief.  However, among those involved there may be impetus for immigration to our midst. 

The Whaaat!? festival date is 7 November 2026 - among other things we will need to select a national breakfast cereal for inclusion in the Cereal Aptitude Test.   I will attend in my Talossan garb, either as a regular citizen or potentially as a government representative pending the upcoming election results.
