• Talossa on CBS! Amazing interview of the Head of Internal Affairs
  Very interesting video, including a fantastic interview of citizen @Bentxamì Puntmasleu, who shown impressive skills as a spokesperson for the Kingdom.
  Puntmasleu declared : "I'm glad it seems to be getting good reception here. I was a little worried how everyone here would take my remarks. Not that I misrepresented Talossa too badly with them, though I probably would refine my answers to some questions I was asked. In any case, its purpose is to get the word out about Talossa and I think it did that". Yes you did !
