The Annoying Thing We Have to Do to the OrgLaw Act
WHEREAS the most recent arestada has changed the proper spellings of many words within the OrgLaw and,
WHEREAS we need to maintain a balance. Still upholding tradition, but being grammatically correct and,
WHEREAS the CÚG basically rocks, now
THEREFORE we proclaim that:
1. The name of the state in el glheþ naziunal, "Regipäts Talossán"shall be changed in every case in the Organic law to "Regipäts Talossan." The arms of the state shall be altered to reflect this.
2. In Article II, Section 6 of the Organic Law, the words "Talossán", "Cosâ", and "për" are changed respectively to "Talossan", "Cosa", and "per", so that the whole section reads as, "The sole historic and national language of the entire Talossan people is the Talossan language (el glheþ Talossan). The Cosa and Government may make provision to conduct their affairs in such language as they shall determine. The National Language shall be protected, defended and developed by the Comità per l'Útzil del Glheþ, which is a private council subject to its own rules, under law."
3. In all instances within the Organic Law, the word "Cosâ" shall be re-written as "Cosa." In future resolutions of the Ziu, the word "Cosa" will be the only word that has legal force.
4. In Article III, Section 11 of the Organic Law, the words "Sabôr", "Guaïrs", "Guaïr", and "Talossán" shall be changed respectively to, "Sabor", "Guairs", "Guair", and "Talossan", so that the whole section reads as, "Among the first acts of his reign the King shall name a Privy Council (Sabor, in Talossan) consisting of several Privy Councillors (called Guairs in Talossan) with whom he shall consult whenever possible on all matters of grave importance to the Kingdom, and whose duty shall be to offer the King the benefit of their individual and collective wisdom and advice. The King shall take care to include in this council those citizens with the longest and deepest connections to the ongoing historical life of the Kingdom, in particular those who are personally familiar with the homeland itself. Should at any time they deem it wise or necessary to do so, Privy Councillors acting alone or in concert with fellow councillors . may publicly issue a "Letter to the King" about any matter of grave importance to the Kingdom. The Privy Councillors shall serve at the pleasure of the King. Privy Councillors shall be entitled to add the honorific initials "GST" to their signatures, for "Guair del Sabor Talossan."
5. In Article IX, Section 5 of the Organic Law, the word "så" shall be changed to "sa" , so that the whole section reads as, "A legislative proposal is submitted t to the Secretary of State for publication in "The Hopper." A legislative proposal thus submitted should be followed by the words "Uréu q'estadra sa" (or "Proposed by") and the name of the author and the capacity in which the author is offering the proposal. The Ziu may regulate how authors identify their capacity. A legislative proposal may be submitted by multiple sponsors, but the legislator whose name is listed first after the words "Uréu q'estadra sa" (or "Proposed by") is considered the author of the legislative proposal. The Secretary of State may refuse to accept legislative proposals that are not clearly typed or word-processed."
6. In Article X, Section 3 of the Organic Law, the words "për" and "contrâ" are changed respectively to "per" and "contra", so that the whole section reads as, "An MC and senator must vote "per" (to a bill he approves), "contra" (to a bill he disapproves), or "austanéu" (for an abstention) on every bill. An MC's or senator's votes must be cast on time in order to be valid."
7. In Article X, Section 5 of the Organic Law, the words "për" and "contrâ" are changed respectively to "per" and "contra", so that the whole section reads as, "Except where otherwise provided in this Organic Law any bill which receives more "per" votes than "contra" votes in the Cosâ and the Senäts is considered to have been adopted by the Ziu. All other bills are considered to have been rejected. Any bill adopted by the Ziu is sent at once to the King for his assent."
8. In Article XI, Section 3 of the Organic Law (The Seneschal's Oath of Office) the words "solenâmînt", "që", "nôminâ", "fidálità", "ôifisch", "së", "Seneschál", "és", "miglhôr", "aválità", "Talossán", and "Så" are changed respectively to "solenamint", "që", "nomina", "fidalità", "oifisch", "se", "Seneschal", "es", "miglhor", "avalità", "Talossan", and "Sa", so that the whole section reads as, "The Seneschál shall be sworn in by reciting the historic Oath of Office in the Talossan language, if possible in the presence of a copy of the historic book, The Loom of Language. He shall raise his right hand and take the Oath verbally in the presence of the King or a member of the Uppermost Cort, either in person or over the phone. In place of reciting the entire Oath he may simply affirm by the word 'üc' his intention to abide by its terms. The historic Oath of Office is as follows:
"Eu afirm, solenamint, qe eu, [nomina], cün fidalità, rompliarhéu l'oifisch da Sieu Maxhestà se Seneschal del Regipäts Talossán, es zefençarhéu, àl miglhor da v'avalità, la sigürità del Estat Talossan. Sa viva el Regeu!" (Translation: I do solemnly affirm that I, [name], will faithfully execute the office of His Majesty's First Minister of the Kingdom of Talossa, and will to the best of my ability defend the integrity of the Talossan State. Long live the King!)"

The three members of the Uppermost Cort are co-equal for all purposes. However, the Justice which has served on the Cort for the longest overall period of time is designated ceremonially as "Senior Justice." Other, inferior courts, shall consist of as many judges as are established by law. All courts must have an odd number of judges."
13. In Article XVII, Section 1, the words, "Pléivs", "Borgáis", and "Cantôns" are changed respectively to, "Pleivs", "Borgais", and "Cantons", so that the whole section reads as, " The metropolitan territory of Talossa is subdivided into Townships (els Borgais; census blocks), Parishes (els Pleivs; block groups), Cantons (els Cantons; census tracts) and Provinces. The Canton is the smallest possible territorial subdivision which can be transferred from one jurisdiction to another; Townships, Parishes, or smaller areas may not be separated from Cantons or assigned to other Cantons."
