Els Zuavs is a cultural organization, working to defend the throne and the country by creating, propagating, and promoting all work of a Talossan nature.  Anyone is welcome to enlist, but advancement must be earned.  Seniority is irrelevant, potential is irrelevant, and politics is irrelevant.  Instead, the guiding principle for promotion within the Zuavs is accomplishment.  The only way to be promoted within the ranks is through actual achievement.

When you see someone with a rank in the Zuavs, then you will know that they earned it.

This thread will contain all announcements for the Zuavs, including any policy changes and all promotions.  You may also post here if you wish to enlist or if you have a question or comment about something.

While Futbol Talossan is the sport of the realm (and indeed we have our own Colesseum) it would seem that there should be an official sport of Cézembre

Pétanque (en, fr) boules may fit the bill, and while it originated in the south of France, it has spread worldwide yet would still have local character and could be played on our fine beaches, perhaps on the Colesseum grounds between futbol matches, or with its own dedicated boulodrome.

What are the thoughts of l'Etats or other citizens regarding this - perhaps @þerxh Sant-Enogat knows if pétanque or other sports that are not futbol related are played on our fair isle?

Hmm, who knows, I might be a furry.

A bit quiet here now.

For those political nerds out there I am wondering if you have a favorite form of government. Any particular representative countries?

I like the collective leadership of the Swiss Confederation. And the national referendums. I also like what is called the Washminster mutation of Australia. In more granular details, I like the "sexennial" single term presidency of Mexico and I recently learned of The Philippines unless I am mistaken.

One week left until the Convention opens! (Now with a slightly-adjusted agenda!)

--I have seen the "How to Train Your Dragon"movie .(though it contains some sequels)

Story Summary:
The movie follows Hiccup, a young Viking who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. Instead of killing a dragon, Hiccup befriends one — a rare Night Fury he names Toothless. Together, they discover that dragons are not the enemies everyone believes.

If you like action, adventure, and friendship stories, this is a great choice!!!😎

It has been a while since I actually sat down and watched a movie. I've mostly been watching news or TV recently. The last movie I watched was The Fantastic Four: First Steps back in August. I was underwhelmed to be honest.

A "Retro-Futuristic" Sci-Fi Adventure
A Character-Driven Family Drama
and mix of everything,better movie to be underwhelmed!😁

Like any good Orthodox Christian, I enjoy black.

Yes, as I have stated before I think we should amend the constitution in whole (moving toward a system with elements from Fiova, Belacosta, and Vuode) but if we decide to restrict ourselves to spot amendments then we should certainly work on reforms to Article III (Government) and Article IV (Legislation). Recent experience shows critical need for reforms specifically to Sections 6 through 9 of Article III.
