With the province name change from Mussolini to Benito, it would seem that the order of Senators on the page www.kingdomoftalossa.net/index.cgi?lingo=&page=Senate should be changed to again reflect alphabetical order, or the order could be changed such that the provinces could be listed by geographic order in some fashion, such as starting with the easternmost, where the sun first shines each day on Talossan Territory, in fair Cezembre.

The senators are currently listed in the order in which their terms expire, which I think is pretty useful. You can tell at a glance who's up for re-election next.

The tabluar list starts with those expiring with the 41st Cosa, then the 42nd, then the 39th, then the 40th. The list is otherwise shown in alphabetical order, if you consider that Benito used to be Mussolini. For the list to be as you suggest, the order would be Maricopa Maritiimi-Maxhestic Benito Vuode Atatürk Cézembre Florencia which would be a fine order as well, although I am suggesting Atatürk Benito Cézembre Florencia Maricopa Maritiimi-Maxhestic Vuode

Psst: don't forget 34 RZ9 - THE PEOPLE TO PROVINCES (No More Microprovinces) ACT
"13b. For purposes of this Act, provinces shall be listed in the following circular order: Cézembre, Florencia, Atatürk, Vuode, Maritiimi-Maxhestic, Maricopa, Mussolini.
"13c. No citizen may be assigned to a "closed" province. In the event that a citizen's assignment may place him in a "closed" province, the citizen is assigned to the next province listed in clause 13b which is not "closed." "

Also, as suggested by Sten, could senators have their party affiliation listed next to their province on the Clark?

The party affiliation of Senators used to be listed, but ever since the "On Their Own Two Feet Act" was passed, Senators are not identified by their party, and act of their own accord (as they have always been elected).
Senators are theoretically somewhat above party, in that they are those longer-tenured Talossans who act like (to borrow an American metaphor) a saucer beneath the teacup that is the Cosa.

Hool
Thanks for your explanation. This is probably not the right forum "my suggestion" was a conversation that I was suprised that their isnt a public register of all members of Political Parties be they Cosa Sanate or private citizens etc.

There's actually a big historical controversy surrounding that. Shortly before King Robert I (Ben) abdicated, the 2 main political parties were the Black Hand (MN), aligned with the King, and the Conservative Loyalist Party (CLP), led by Sir Fritz. A lot of new immigrants were joining the CLP, and Ben insisted that the CLP make its member list public. The CLP refused, asserting the privacy rights of its members. That was one of the factors leading Ben to assume the existence of a nefarious anti-Talossan conspiracy, and ultimately abdicate the throne and renounce his citizenship.

the dark side of Talossa is slowly revealed to the new eyes... Or, at least mine.

Thank you for the reminder, I do remember reading something of that controversy from my researching of old Witt posts and Archives etc. But things have hopefully greatly changed since then. Does any one think that such a register of all political would cause controversy now.

As someone so new to the Kingdom, I think that it might be better left to someone with more experienced & standing than myself

Actually, Istefan - you have as much standing and experience as the rest of us, when it comes to something like that.
It's non- binding, and is just information gathering.
Go ahead, start a poll - that's a good way to get your feet wet!

To reiterate the sentiment of S:reu Holmes, jump in with both feet. One of the curious, and wonderful, things about Talossa is the quickness with which one can become deeply involved. I speak from experience -- I'm not even one year into citizenship, and I already control 7 Cosa seats, am Deputy of a political party and Consul General to an embassy, and hold a Royally-appointed office. Experience doesn't enter into it!
