Have we selected provincial symbols like provincial tree, flower, animal, mineral, etc? If not, I think we should! At least it will give us something to do.

This is something that everyone can take part in. Feel free to make suggestions. I think our provincial tree should be an evergreen. Maybe the White Pine? I also like the Blue Spruce. Sitka Spruce is kind of nice...especially if you're making arrows.

Does anyone have ideas for this project? Don't make me hijack this thing! You know I'll do it!

Followed by months of crickets chirping. (I may have to go back and hijack my own thread. In fact, I think I will...)

That's PRECISELY what your job should be - taking legislative initiatives. Perhaps you should run for Capitán next time? Anyway, we could make a short-cut of reconfirming as Fiôvan provincial symbols, the old Republican national symbols, which were (according to my files): Lunch Food: Stubborn Sandwich. Hot Drink: Talossan Cider. Sweet Snack: Talossa Bonnet Entertainer: Violent Femmes (?!) Football Team: Milwaukee WaveAutomobile: Trabant (?!?)

The only bill I ever dreamed up (written and submitted by Iusti Canun, back before he...well...you, know) made the Milwaukee Admirals Talossa's official hockey team. (I've never seen this legally enacted bill mentioned on any Talossan site. You go to our Talossawiki page, it's not been updated to reflect that we should all be now wearing Milwaukee Admirals sweaters during hockey season. I'd mainly like to know more details about these Fiovan provincial symbols. (Particularly the food...I love to eat.) As for Talossan cider, I'd like to know what in particular makes for a Talossan cider. As a lover of apple cider, who lives in Johnny Appleseeds' old stomping grounds, I'd like to know. (As I previously posted on the Facebook Wittenberg page, I'm contemplating brewing a batch of my own cider, and would like any input on making it more...traditionally Talossan!)

Here is my list of symbols for your consideration:
Tree- Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) Flower- Cutleaf Toothwort (Cardamine concatenata) Animal- Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) Bird- Robin (Turdus migratorius) Fish- Northern Pike (Esox lucius) Insect- Bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) Mineral- Millerite Rock- Granite
I picked things that are found in or around Fiôva proper, i.e. Milwaukee.

What do you think about my list of suggestions? Is there anything you would change? Anything you'd like to add?

I’ve decided I’m going to get bject based on no reasonable grounds (other than the fact that I find Alvin & the Chipmunks super annoying) to the choice of animal. Instead I humbly propose one of the coolest and most adaptable animals out there: the fox!

The fox seems reasonable. Which fox do you suggest?

I was thinking the simple Red Fox

That would be:
Animal- Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes)
Any other changes?

No changes from me. I would however like to add my endorsement of the trabant as our automobile.
