WHEREAS We are in the 50th Cosa and I wrote an article encouraging people to celebrate it AND
WHEREAS I do not believe anyone is doing anything about it, so I am trying to do something about it AND
WHEREAS I am almost fresh out of ideas, with a potential client driving me insane AND
WHEREAS I was watching Brooklin Nine-Nine recently and was wondering what each of the service ribbons worn by Captain Holt meants AND
WHEREAS I found out and this morning thought, why not for Talossa?
THEREFORE The Ziu resolves to create a new Article L titled "Citizens" whose first article shall read:

1.1 Service ribbons are to be worn on the left side of the breast, or at the absolute bottom of the signature.
1.2 If a single pin or star is added to a service ribbon, it is placed in the center of the service ribbon.
