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.

The Ministry of Culture

The Ministry of Culture is focused on expanding its role in Talossa. We are planning some very interested projects and want to invite all Talossans to take part. 

As previoulsy posted, S:reu Iustì Canun will be Ladintsch Naziunal of El Büreu del Glhetg.

The Wargames Bureau will be headed by the newly appointed National Gamemaster, Munditenens (Dien) Tresplet. 

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.

Azul fellow Talossans: 

I am so excited to be the new Minister of Culture. 

My first order of business is to appoint S:reu Iustì Canun as Ladintsch Naziunal of El Büreu del Glhetg.

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.

ANNOUNCEMENT: TalossaWiki

The government is proud to announce an amazing new breakthrough in Talossa's web presence:

TalossaWiki!

Under the leadership of Minister of Stuff Danihel Teziun, we have created a platform for Talossans to learn about Talossan and WRITE about Talossa, in a way that's easier than it's ever been!

Some content has been added by the team, which consists of Minister Teziun, your humble outgoing PM (myself), Baron Hooligan, Alexander Davis, Istefan Perþonest, and Iustì Canun.

The new TalossaWiki is fully-featured, allowing you (yes, you! we need your help!) to make articles on anything, adding images and links, and updating it yourself as you please!

Organic Law and statutory laws are busily being added by the Scribe (Vitxalmour Conductour) and his dedicated minion (Stéfan D'Unmortadel). These will be integrated into the wiki format and will be easily searchable, citable, and linkable (and then some!).

Now you can not only learn about the history of your nation - you can help WRITE it!

Come to TalossaWiki, and make the Kingdom of Talossa YOUR kingdom!
