I'd like to thank the College of Arms and the King for the creation of such beautiful arms for myself and my heirs.
Congrats to all!

Keep up the good work Dreu. This would be amazing in the Uichi...you should post it there once we make the "Talossan Monarchy" page.

Very well done! Although you might think about changing the American monarchs... presidents aren't really kings. Still and all, a very valuable document. Maybe you could put it on the Wiki? Agreed, presidents aren't monarchs, you should make that a period of interregnum without a king or regent, just a prime minister, which would be the president.

Dreu, I think you've been drinking. A club's aims and behaviours and aspirations can be damaging to a nation - as you well know. A would-be nation with no real protocol or grounding in law can be damaging to a rather better-formed, better-intentioned "would-be nation". Either way, membership in Molossia would be a problem. Agreed. You said earlier that you had no intention of joining another micronation, so why even worry about this?

My own suggestion is that as soon as a person becomes a citizen, they should be made co-TalossAssistant (with their own TalossAssistant who guided them through the process) to the next prospective to whom their TA is assigned. Makes sure that as soon as someone is a citizen, he or she is given something to do, a duty, something that requires them to be involved, keeps them from being so lost with the, "okay, well, uh, I wonder what I do now?" feeling. I think this is one of the most important aspects of this whole discussion. The hardest part of assimilating nicely is having something to do and keep them occupied. The TA program is good because, not only do they learn more about culture they didn't (or were afraid to) ask questions about, they also get to answer the questions of others. I think this is engaging for a new citizen and should seriously be considered. Now, for the "board" thing. Though I think it is important, there will always be that little aspect of fear in an immigrants mind going "well, I'm doing great hear, but will I pass the board??" For me, that would be a deffinate cause of worry because, unless this is worded exquisitly well, that "board" would create an image of a dark scary place with one light bulb hanging from the ceiling and cold metal chairs. I think if we make it a little less communistic and a little more democratic, then we're all good. For the record- I like the idea of submitting citizenship petitions to Witt, the prospective can actually see what's happening there and perhaps defend himself if needed.

I just browsed Witt X, and saw an intriguing claim that the Kingdom is suffering a decline in membership, with the implication that the Kingdom as a whole is in decline. Can anyone else enlighten me on this? Is anyone else even out there? I mean, I WAS the only one to vote in the election. One other issue to note is that several Republicans are ineligible by immigration law to become Kingdom citizens, due to micronation membership. That's fine. As discussed, reunion, true reunion, isn't a real aim or desire, for a number of reasons. But I think an area where the Republic and the Kingdom can come to common understanding, though not agreement, is in how each treats micronations. The Kingdom, considering itself a sincere and full national identity for those involved, considers micronations, amongst other things (and there are a few issues involved), a distraction from ones responsibilities to the Kingdom. If you are a member of Greater Welpongia, and join the Kingdom, and become a member of the Ziu - and then Welpongia gets stressy, condemns the Kingdom, and demands its member leave; or Welpongia uses the opportunity to gather information illicitly; then the Kingdom is left vulnerable. Furthermore, Talossa, the Kingdom that is, considers itself a real nation; sure, practical territorial extent is each of our bedrooms, but a nation is not its earth alone. We are more interested in becoming affiliated with extranational groups and forums, developing our national culture, and creating a truly functional nation within its context. Why, then, would we want to improve relations with Welpongia, who consist of 5 guys and a dog going on power trips (insert jibe from someone about the dictator Woolley's penchant for crushing his enemies mercilessly - I know, he's a real Ben Madison, that John Woolley, and I'm glad there's people making sure their fellow Republicans know that). First off, I must say this is a very interesting discussion indeed. I think we can look at history (and not just Talossan) to get a complete understanding of the Republic. I think the example that best fits this is the French Revolution- A monarch that was wasting away national funds, taking rights from the people, and ruling with imperium over the entire country. After years and years of this torment, the people rebelled and set up the Republic of France- dissolving all fragments of the Kingdom of France and embracing republicansism (allbeit after a long amount of time until after Napoleon was exiled). Now, that's a true revolution. If we call the Republic of Talossa a revolution against the Kingdom, it was largly unsuccessful, as they did not overthrow and replace anything at all. Now, it was still partially successful, specifically in the ideals (and propaganda) of the newly formed Republic. Again, when looking at history, when a country's peoples are being persecuted by an authoritarian dictator (that they hate), they are likely to be unsupportive of any leader who takes that person's spot after they step down, or in worse case, executed. This provides a logical explination for the allegations against King John, even though he is exact opposite of a tyrannical authoritarian monarch. I'm not going to pull a T.O. on you, but King John- he's my King.

oh fo' sho' this witt is much better set up. As for the fact that I'm concerned with the Republic's politics. Of course I am! As should all of you. They are our comrade in Talossanity, what happens to them effects us both directly and indirectly. But don't worry, I don't plan to leave my home in the Vuode sun any time soon . Yes, I agree there, but right now each country would have to make huge changes to both of their systems to even think of us being able to reunite. I am a fan of reuniting, yes, but we must take this slowly and at one step at a time. Again, I say, I am a royalist. w00t for the Kingdom of Talossa.
