This is something that Mieusegnhor dal Nordselva has in fact done, and done well, on multiple occasions in internal Cabinet discussions related to subjects ranging from CRL reform to foreign affairs to that proposal from the AI people.

Welcome, we don't get to communicate too frequently. Now this, I consider a success of this mid-term review as it has unveiled new information for the public to consider! I thank S:reu Autófil for informing us of things that the Avocat-Xheneral failed to disclose via the three terpelaziuns we submitted. As was previously stated our terpelaziuns were an opportunity for the Avocat-Xheneral himself to disclose his private activities in lieu of the dearth of public activities. I'm hopeful in future terpelaziuns the Ziu and the Talossan public can get this kind of update directly from the A-X but this will do for now. Thanks Mic'haglh.

Thank you Mieusegnhor Pôl. I will post my own opening thoughts in the morning, followed by our next steps.

In my assessment, the decline in immigration cannot be solely attributed to the current or preceding administrations. I posit that the challenges stem, in part, from procedural complexities and a lack of public awareness.

My personal experience with the immigration process involved a period of deliberation regarding the cost-benefit ratio. Having observed the process over several years, I initiated the application on multiple occasions, ultimately completing it following my brother's ascension. The questions, particularly the essay component, presented significant difficulty for an individual with limited prior knowledge of micronations. The advantage of close observation, which I possessed, is not typically available to most applicants. A phased approach, initially focusing on immigration and subsequently on the path to full citizenship after a period of reflection and potential engagement, may be a more effective strategy.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Talossan immigration comprises three stages: attracting attention, applying for citizenship, and maintaining interest until naturalization.

For the first stage, Infotecă records indicate that citizenship applications so far this year are on par with those we saw during the 59th Cosă. Given the lack of massive outcry at the time, the numbers must not have been an issue, and so any honest person must admit the numbers are similarly a non-issue now. Therefore, a failure to attract attention must not be the reason for the downturn we are facing.

Similarly, for the second stage, these numbers would further imply that the application form has not magically become a massive obstacle to immigration overnight, unless it was a similar obstacle under previous administrations as well. And if it was an issue then, why those administrations did nothing to fix it is unclear.

The issue, then, lies clearly in the third stage: keeping prospective citizens interested in the two week period between when they submit their application and when they are eligible for a citizenship petition. I submit that this is the facet of the process on which we ought to focus the core of our efforts, even as we do not neglect the other two. I am encouraged by Sir Pol's opening statement, as I believe that dovetails nicely into how I believe the matter ought to be approached.

I look forward to working with you all to identify feasible and reasonable solutions to the problems we face.

Quote from: Dr. Pôl dal Nordselvă on July 14, 2025, 10:21:47 PMMy position remains unchanged. I do not believe my lineage should dictate a different set of expectations for me. In fact, I am held to a higher standard. Should I lose the confidence of the King or Seneschal, I will willingly relinquish my position. Until then, I will remain resolute and dedicated. My role in the government is primarily advisory, with limited need for direct action as Attorney General. I provide counsel to the King and Seneschal, reporting directly to them. As a member of the public and the opposition, your responsibility is to ensure accountability across the board. Please proceed as you deem appropriate, while acknowledging that all of us, including yourself, maintain dual lives.

Thank you Minister. I'm glad we can agree on the importance of the Opposition's work and that your lineage does not provide a basis for differential treatment. This evaluation is not meant to upset you but is supposed to be honest about areas for improvement.

We are hopeful that the second half of the term will be better for you both outside of the Kingdom and here. Please take none of this personally and remember we are servants of the Talossan people.
