Cabinet Change Recommendations

I come now before the throne seeking an audience to recommend the appointment of Ministers to Your Majesty’s Government.

The following Talossans have proven through their abilities, hard work, dedication, loyalty, and most of all their Talossanity that they will serve the nation well as Ministers in Your Majesty's Government.

Therefore, I, Çesli da Chilseu, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that Your Gracious Majesty appoint these loyal subjects to the following cabinet posts:


Pöl d'Aurìbuérg
to the position of
Distain


Béneditsch Ardpresteir
to the position of
Attorney-General


Audradâ d'Aurìbuérg
to the position of
Minister of Immigration


Confident that the Crown will consent to accept these wise recommendations, may I be the first to congratulate each of the newly appointed Ministers and I wish them every success in their Ministries. I look forward to working with y'all.

Proclamation of Mourning: Connecticut School Shooting

The Office of the Prime Minister

Proclamation of Mourning

With all the changes that are going on in the kingdom, it pains me that this is my first order of duty as your new Seneschal. As many of you have heard, or will shortly hear, yet another act of senseless violence has taken innocent lives in Connecticut. Innocence lends horror to violence, and none are more innocent than our children. It is with great empathy for the friends and families of the deceased, and with horror at the actions that have caused the need for empathy, that I issue this Proclamation of Mourning for the kingdom. My heart and the heart of the nation goes out to all involved. 


WHEREAS the loss of innocent life is horrible and always to be mourned, and

WHEREAS none are more innocent than children, and

WHEREAS the people of the Kingdom of Talossa are to be counted on to stand strong against needless violence, 

THEREFORE the government of the Kingdom of Talossa calls upon all its citizens to observe a period of mourning extending through the 15th of December 2012, for the victims of elementary school shooting in Connecticut. We offer our thoughts and prayers for the innocent lives lost, and to those who survive them. 

Done with the deepest sympathy for our friends and neighbors in Connecticut on this, the fourteenth day of December in the year 2012, being the thirty-third year of the independence of Talossa and the sixth of the reign of our Sovereign John.

Resignation of the Seneschal

Fellow Talossans --

One hour ago, at 12:12:12 Talossan Time on 12/12/12, being the thirty-second Llimbaziua (and also known as Sound Check Day), I tendered my resignation as Prime Minister to His Majesty the King, who accepted it with some reluctance. This step, coming as it does at the end of my term as President of the Comità del Útzil del Glheþ, is something that I have discussed with members of my party and the government for the past month or so.

It has been a distinct pleasure to serve again as the Prime Minister for this wonderful nation, and the decision to step aside was not one that was made lightly. I have come to feel, however, that with events outside the nation taking much of my time, I am currently not able to serve with the dedication required from a Seneschal, and that the nation would be better served by a fresh leadership team less encumbered by outside responsibilities and obligations.

The Right Honourable Distain, Çesli da Chilseu, having indicated her readiness and willingness to do so, is now the 40th Seneschal of the Kingdom of Talossa, and after the administration of her oath of office, will settle into her duties, beginning with appointing her own replacement in the position of Distain.

S:r Pôl d'Aurìbuérg takes over, effective immediately, as Party Leader of the RUMP.

The trappings of my office (especially all the mail I get, the duties of prodding the Immigration Minister incessantly, trying to resist the urge to go back to doing his job so that it gets done, and the Website updating responsibilities) will be transferred to their new owners over the next days and weeks.

I thank the nation for honouring me with the chance to lead the government, which I leave in good hands. I further trust in the fact that the future of Talossa is as bright as or brighter than ever (as long as the world doesn't end in nine days like so many TV shows would like us to believe).

In leaving office, I am proud to become the first Talossan Prime Minister to have been both preceded and followed in office by a female. I offer Prime Minister da Chilseu my very best wishes for success in the remainder of the Cosa, confident that the trust given her is well-placed.

Immigration Award Speech by the Minister of Immigration


My Fellow Talossans,

The Ministry of Immigration has always strived to the culture and spirit of upbringing incoming Citizens into a nation dedicated to the idea of fun, culture, and excellence beyond all others. The belief that Talossans hold such values so dearly, that they wish to share that spirit with Prospectives, is one that shows pure dedication and loyalty to the nation. Today, we celebrate the dedication of one such Talossan, who has given up much of his time to the successful upbringing of prospective citizens, and through his guidance and support, has become full citizens of the kingdom.

Txec Róibeard Nordselva has shown the dedication and support a prospective citizen needs to become a full citizen. When Txec was a prospective not too long ago, Pôl d'Aurìbuérg was his TALOSSAssistant, and in September 2012, Txec became a citizen of our great Kingdom.

When asked, “What do you like best about helping prospective citizens in their journey to citizenship?” Txec’s answer was, “I like helping prospects because they are our nations future.”

As I know those of who who are still reading are probably falling asleep. So, without further ado, In accordance to the requirements set down by the Minister of Immigration, It is with great pleasure to announce to the Kingdom, that Txec Róibeard Nordselva has Officially received the Immigration Achievement Award, for helping a total of 5 Prospective citizens gain full citizenship. We thank you for your continued Support.


Signed by the hand of the Minister of Immigration this 26th day of November, in the year of the common era 2012, in the 6th year of the reign of our gracious sovereign King John, and of the independence of Talossa the 33rd.

I have reluctantly accepted the resignation of Danihel Teziun as Minister of Stuff, whose lame claim is that having a new Dandelion seems to mean he has no time anymore. Sheesh. I have two kids. Heck, our King has something like eight. 

But anyway, S:r Teziun will be transferring his knowledge to his successor.

This post in the Cabinet being vacant, I, Ma la Mha, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that His Majesty the King do appoint:

Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN to the position of Minister of Stuff

Minister Cjantscheir is welcomed to office, and comes with the enthusiasm necessary for the job. She has informed me that she will be getting a team together that will indeed take the Website project from here to completion.

Pôl d'Aurìbuérg has shown the dedication and support a prospective citizen needs to become a full citizen. When Pol was a prospective not too long ago, Flip Molinar was his TALOSSAssistant, and in September 2011, Pol became a citizen of our great Kingdom.

Pol has decided that helping incoming citizens is a must and is always willing to step up to be somebody’s TALOSSAssistant. And currently during my short term in office already, Pol has helped several Citizens.

When asked, “What do you like best about helping prospective citizens in their journey to citizenship?” Pol’s answer was, “I like seeing them all excited to bring some ideas and meeting different people. It really helps our growing nation.”

As I know those of who who are still reading are probably falling asleep. So, without further ado, In accordance to the requirements set down by the Minister of Immigration, It is with great pleasure to announce to the Kingdom, that Pôl d'Aurìbuérg has Officially received the Immigration Achievement Award, for helping a total of 5 Prospective citizens gain full citizenship.

Appointment of a New Minister of Stuff
With sympathy and sadness, I accepted the resignation this morning of Stéafan d'Unmortadel as Minister of Stuff, and offered on behalf of the nation its grateful thanks for his service. S:r d'Unmortadel tendered this resignation due to a tragic death of a family member, and his own feeling that this tragedy will, understandably, render him unable to dedicate himself to his position as a minister of the government for the near-term future.

To S:r d'Unmortadel, who is himself still recovering from surgery, go the thoughts, wishes, and prayers of his nation through this time of grief and shock. I have assured our friend that we, his fellow-citizens, are here for him and will be here waiting his return to active Talossan life once he has gone through the trials of his current circumstances.

This post in the Cabinet being vacant, I, Ma la Mha, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that His Majesty the King do appoint:

Danihel Teziun to the position of Minister of Stuff

S:r Teziun's current position as Chief of the Bureau of SPAM, is left vacant, but I am informed that it will be filled by a new Head Spammajamma within a couple of weeks.

Minister Teziun is welcomed (back) to office, and comes with the enthusiasm necessary for the job. The important work of the Ministry of STUFF, especially as regards the creation and population of the new Web presence for the Kingdom and the expansion of its social networking tentacles, will proceed with as little delay as possible.

The Row Your Boat Ashore Dictate
WHEREAS no score and fourteen years ago, came forth to this nation a new personality, conceived in Talossanity and dedicated to the proposition that Talossans are created cooler, and

WHEREAS, then we were engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that Talossanity or any Talossan so conceived and so dedicated could long endure, and

WHEREAS that's about as far as I can take this strange allusion to the Gettysburg Address, when you would think I would have been mucking with quotes from "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore" and mixing in some "Hallelujiah"s with the "Whereas"s, but hey, even I don't know how my mind works sometimes, and apparently between writing the title and the first "Whereas" I forgot what I was doing, and

WHEREAS the point is that the Talossanity within this personality so conceived did indeed long endure, through renunciation in the face of tyrrany, through life as a different part of the Talossan culture, and then through a number of years away, concentrating on important non-Talossan (seems like an oxymoron, I know) matters, and

WHEREAS this personality has requested of my office the restoration of his lapsed citizenship, restoring to him on the records what was never apart from him in fact, so now

THEREFORE, I, Ma la Mha, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, do hereby and forthwith declare the following Prime Dictate, beseeching his Majesty the King to grant royal assent with all due celerity that it might become law:

• His having fulfilled the requirements of law, the Talossan citizenship of Michael Pope is hereby restored in full, and is dated, as is custom, tradition, and right, to its original date of 21 May 1998.
• In accordance with the wishes and request of the said citizen Pope, the Secretary of State is instructed to transfer the provincial assignment of S:reu Pope from Maritiimi-Maxhestic to Fiova.

Done under my hand and seal, as from Kenwood House, on this the 29th day of August in the year 2012, in the 6th year of the reign of our gracious sovereign John, and the 33rd year of the independence of the Kingdom of Talossa.

My famed and esteemed predecessor has requested, and I have (with unspeakable joy) granted, the permission required by 35RZ2, The Wittenberg is for Talossans Act, to be a guest here on Wittenberg.

It is with incredible pleasure that I am able to re-introduce to these pages the great former Talossan (and yes, I have already begun the begging process to convince him to re-embrace his Talossanity by reclaiming his lapsed citizenship)....

Recommendation of a Túischac'h
Voastra Maxhestà —

I come now before the throne seeking an audience to recommend the appointment of a Túischac'h for Your Majesty's 44th Cosa.

Your Majesty's previous First Minister is a loyal and dedicated Talossan, whose retirement from the helm of government was hard-earned. She comments daily on her happy state of retirement, aggravating me to no end. Pleased to be able to do absolutely nothing in government anymore, she looks forward to spending time in her duties as Your Majesty's Chancellor of the Royal Talossan Bar, and to continuing to laugh at me for my present fate and circumstances. Insisting that this state of laziness be preserved, before agreeing to accept appointment to the post now in question, she has made doubly sure that there shall be no work involved whatsoever, work that might take time away from her ridiculing me and telling me how happy she is not to be me. Having found that this post will not interfere with those requirements upon which she so insists, she has consented to serve should the Crown so appoint her.

Therefore, I, Ma la Mha, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that Your Gracious Majesty appoint Erschéveþ (Litz) Cjantscheir, Esq. to the post of Túischac'h of the Cosa.

Confident that the Crown will consent to accept this wise recommendation, I make myself the first to congratulate my esteemed predecessor as she takes up the non-duties of this her new sinecure. I look forward to her doing absolutely nothing, and doing it well. If we actually have a Living Cosa and she has to do something, I will promise to laugh at her, but unfortunately, I don't see it happening.

I am creating a new bureau known as the Bureau of the Four Everlasting Stars (Büreu dels Qátor Itrins Iterneux) or 4I². This new office will focuse on finding ways to maintain the unique culture of the former Republic of Talossa. I have reached out to the former Republicans; Ián Txaglh and D. N. Vercáriâ have agreed to help out in this new bureau.

I am also considering working on putting together a Talossan cookbook. How this will looks has yet to be decided but I will be asking for Talossa's help in trying out different recipes to include in the book.

Finally, another bureau is currently being worked on that will focus on the literary workings of our population. The idea is to create a Literary Journal based solely on the writings of our fellow Talossans. Once this bureau is formalized, it will be announced. 

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to assist with the plans and projects of the Ministry of Culture. We look forward to offering bringing Talossan culture to all of our citizens.

Seneschal announces Twitter

After some discussion with members of the Ministry of Stuff concerning whether the account should be "RTSeneschal" or something, it was decided that a Twitter account called @BaronHooligan would suffice to allow your Prime Minister (that would be me) to twoot things to anyone who cares what he (that would be me) wants to twoot about.

So, while I have never twooted before, and also can't promise when I'll twoot for the first time, I guess those of you who know how to do such things can "Follow" me or whatever.

I promise not to twoot about when I need to visit the restroom and stuff (otherwise, why do we have GoogleTalk?!), and, while serving as Seneschal, I will probably try to restrict my twooting to Talossan governmental matters. Any guidance in what might or might not be good twoot-fodder will be welcome. Anything the government does (like the bureau reorganisations currently going on) might be twooted, even though any Wittsters will also be obviously aware of them. Will that be overkill? How should I know? I have never used this twooter thing ever before.

There is also another Twitter account, of course, @Talossa, which currently has over 100 followers and which the government (specifically the Ministry of Stuff) will work to make more active.

I'm still vetting candidates for the National Gamemaster. If you're interested, contact me. 

Moving on, I have been brain storming different ideas that we can start *and* finish this term. 

Some of the ideas I've brainstorm is putting together some type of literary journal with contributions from our citizens. I know we have a lot of creative folks here so I would like to see something come together. 

Another idea bouncing around in my head would be to explore Talossan cuisine, perhaps putting together a virtual Talossan cookbook. For this, I will definitely need the help of my fellow Talossans to explore different recipes and delve deeply into our shared Berber heritage. 

I also think the culture of the Republic needs to be preserved and I would be interested to work with some former citizens of the Republic to preserve the customs that developed separate of the Kingdom during the time of the schism. 

I'm also open to other ideas from everyone. Brainstorm, post or PM me your feedback.
