RZ1 - The National Cuisine Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

Whereas, no other eatery can conceivably compete with Taco Bell for the sheer amount of Talossanity spewed forth within its walls, and Whereas Mexican food is good and popular among a broad swath of Talossans (whether or not they have been seduced by the wiles of Latin rhythms etc.), Therefore the Cosâ hereby declares that Talossa's nation cuisine, inasmuch as it's possible for a country that routinely eats fast food and microwave lunches to have one, is more or less the same as Taco Bell food. King Robert I is called upon to use his lingual skills to create Talossan names for said food. (Example: "burrito" in Spanish means "little donkey"--probably because of the meat they use. Talossan for "little donkey" is asinét. So a burrito in Talossan is an asinét.) ¡Viva Talossa!

RZ2 - The Uréu q'Estadra Så Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

The words "Proposed By" in Art. 62 of the Constituziun are changed to read "Uréu q'Estadra så" (or "proposed by"). This has the effect of allowing either choice of wording to be used by MCs when proposing bills. In English the new text means "I petition that it might be so."

RZ3 - It's Midnight in Talossa... Do You Know Where Your Voters Are?

Published in Clark #0



Statute

Whereas, few of us really want to hang around John's neighborhood at midnight, and Whereas having election deadlines come at midnight leads to some weird situations and is disruptive to some schedules, Therefore, notwithstanding the purely traditional practice of "keeping the polls open" till midnight of the last day of an election (or of a month, for Clark purposes), the Secretary of State is hereby instructed to keep a sort-of conventional "business day" where the deadline for any official RT business (ballots, Clarks, etc.) is set at 7:30 p.m. of the day in question.

RZ4 - The Provincial Simplification Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Articles 85-90 are hereby redone as follows:



Art. 85. Talossa is made up of Provinces and Territories based (since the law of 1984) around defined geographic blocks called cantons (i.e., census tracts). Provincial/Territorial borders may only be changed by the Cosâ.

Art. 86. All Talossan citizens shall belong to the Province or Territory in which they live. Citziens living outside of Talossa are assigned to the Province or Territory they live closest to, unless exception is made by law.

Art. 87. Territories are cantons (or groups thereof) which are not self-governing. They are administered by Governors appointed for an indefinite period by the Cosâ.

Art. 88. Provinces are cantons (or groups thereof) which are self-governing and autonomous. They are administered by by constitutional governments (either presidential or parliamentary) elected democratically in the Province. Provinces must hold elections once every two years, or sooner. Provincial constitutions must allow provincial laws to be overturned by national law.

Art. 89. No Province has the right to secede from the Kingdom of Talossa, or to pass any law which contravenes the rights and principles enumerated in this Constituziun.

Art. 90. In all things, national law is superior to provincial law. The Cosâ may, when it is clear that the Province is attempting illegal, unconstitutional, or secessionist activities, or when it becomes demonstrably imperative, suspend the constitutional government of a Province by law.

RZ5 - The National Law Act (Rewrite of Article 90)

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Art. 90. This Consitituziun takes precedence over all provincial legislation. National law, defined as law which genuinely furthers the interests of the Talossan nation, is superior to provincial law. In the event of a conflict between a Law of the Cosâ (or PD) and a law passed by a Province, the Cort shall decide which law is genuinely national on the basis of its utility for Talossa as a whole. The Cosâ may, if a Province attempts illegal, unconstitutional, or secessionist activities, or when it is demonstrably imperative, suspend the constitutional government of a Province by law.

Published in Clark #0



Approved but Ephemeral

I, Robert Madison, Senior Justice of the Talossan Uppermost Cort, hereby serve notice to the Talossan people that, in the interests of decentralising Talossa and un-Benning one of its highest offices, I am hereby resigning my seat on the uppermost cort, pending the approval of the Cosâ. Furthermore, in my capacity as King of Talossa, and with the apparent blessing of nearly everybody, I hereby nominate Nick Kovac, who served with... with... uh, who served on the Cort's most recent case, to be my successor.

Repealed

WHEREAS, in Spetember 1992 the Cosâ created the "Shrine" of FLUNK as a territorial unit distinct from its neighbouring Province despite the fact that the Constituziun (Art. 85) does not allow the territory of Talossa to be divided into entities other than Territories and Provinces, but
WHEREAS, Nick Kovac and Andrew Worm have done a good job as the high priests of their Shrine, and the Cosâ has no wish to deprive them of their personal fantasy fiefdom,
THEREFORE: The Cosâ hereby reconstitutes FLUNK as a "sacred shrine of Talossa" within Mussolini Province by which shall have full provincial-like authority over its own territory (a sort of Autonomous Okrug under Nick's and Andy's control) and shall not be subject to the laws of the Province, but rather shall have the unique provincial-like relations to the National Government envisioned in their original bill.

RZ10 - Official National Pastime Act II

Published in Clark #0



Statute

The wargaming/military simulation hobby has been and continues to be a major activity of several leading RT Citizens, including the King, PM Buffone, Wes Erni, Jack Schneider, Nick Kovac and myself. It not only includes gaming of a military nature, but political and purely fanciful ones as well. it's a great outlet, and allows guys to make use of pent-up testosterone in a harmless, non-agressive way (take note, peaceniks!). It has served not only as a form of national glue, but is laregly responsible for many of the above-named Citizens joining the RT in the first place. For these reasons, the Cosâ confers upon "Wargaming" the title "Official National Pastime." Please?

RZ11 - MCs are Responsible for Their Own Votes Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

Whereas the potential exists for the unsavory manipulation of the Secretary of State by MCs voting on the behalf of other MCs without their knowledge or consent, Therefore the Cosâ hereby declares that, beginning with the next Clark, all MCs must vote for themselves, and not through surrogates. They have innumerable options to communicate their own votes to the Secretary of State or to Undersecretary of State Madison, including postcards, letters and phone calls. MCs are responsible for casting their own votes with their own assigned seats, and cannot cast votes for other MCs. If an MC will be unavailable to vote for some reason during any particular month, they may inform the Secretary or Undersecretary that they wish to vote exactly as another, named MC. That will be considered the sole justification for MC surrogate voting.

RZ12 - The Vexatious Lawsuits Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

A flaw exists in the RT legal system: the Cort is obliged to decide every case brought before it, no matter how ludicrous or flimsy, or transparent. Certain persons have often attempted to harass others by misusing the Cort system in Talossa, and have prosecuted them wrongfully without probable cause and for purposes other than to bring a genuine offender to justice. So, the Cosâ hereby enacts the following. This legislation will give the Cort greater power and latitude in deciding which cases merit time-consuming scrutiny. It will strengthen our historic affirmation of the presumption of innocence until proof of guilt is obtained. This legislation is not radical or esoteric; rather, it is based upon central principles in Anglo-American law.

The line "The courts shall decide all cases brought to them" is deleted from Article 79 of the Constituziun. The following text is added as Article 78a:


Art. 78a. The courts shall consent to hear no case until presented with written evidence by the Prosecution proving to a majority of court members that a good chance of obtaining a conviction actually exists. The courts, by majority vote, may refuse to hear any case, in effect confirming the defendant's (or status quo) position. A simple majority of court members is sufficient to determine whether that court will or will not hear a case put before it. Because of double jeopardy, a case dismissed may not be brought again.

RZ13 - The Malicious Prosecution Act of 1993

Published in Clark #0



Statute

1. Wrongful prosecution consists of prosecution characterised by malice, damage, and absence of probable cause.


2. In the event that a person is wrongfully prosecuted, the person may initiate a Malicious Prosecution suit against the person who wrongfully prosecuted him.


3. A Malicious Prosecution suit may be initiated if either a) The person prosecuted is acquitted, or b) The courts refuse to hear the case at all, due to the intended prosecution having no reasonable chance at a successful conviction.


4. To prevail, the plaintiff must prove a) MALICE (that the principal purpose of the original prosecution was to harass, or was frivolous, or generally was something other than the desirable end of bringing an offender to justice--malice can be inferred from a lack of probable cause); b) DAMAGE (that he has sustained damages affecting his reputation, his liberty, or his property; the damages must involve aloss of time or money); c) ABSENCE OF PROBABLE CAUSE (that circumstances never existed which would warrant an ordinary prudent person to believe he was guilty of the supposed offence).


5. Monetary or other constitutional damages may be levied upon conviction for Malicious Prosecution.

Approved by a referendum

The Cosâ hereby instructs the Secretary of State to put before the Talossan people at the earliest possible opportunity the following non-binding public opinion poll-type referendum:

Regarding the future of the Talossan monarchy, please select whichever one of the following five options is closest to your preference:


1. King Robert I should remain in office with his present powers and constitutional duties.


2. King Robert I should remain in office with his present powers and constitutional duties, except that he should no longer have the right to appoint Prime Ministers or nominate Uppermost Cort judges.


3. King Robert should abdicate the Throne in favour of someone else who will take over the King's present powers.


4. King Robert should abdicate the Throne in favour of someone else, who will serve as a powerless figurehead King.


5. The Monarchy should be abolished and a Talossan Republic set up.

RZ15 - The Quorum Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Whereas, Article 70 of the Constituziun (regarding quorums) is confusingly worded and actually permits Cosâ bills to be defeated even though more votes might be cast for them than against them, the Cosâ repeals Article 70. This will have tyhe effect of removing the quroum qualification currently modifying Article 69. The overall effect of this Amendment will be to have the Constituziun say simply that any bill that gets more për votes than contrâ votes is considered passed.

Published in Clark #0



Approved but Ephemeral

Of the 155 countires around the world that have signed on to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, the People's Republic of North Korea has been the first to disavow said treaty. North Korea, under the demented leadership of dictator Kim Il-Sung, recently went on a near-war fotting with South Korea and has blocked International Atomic Energy Commission attmepts to inspect suspected nuclear weapons facilities. As a potential nuclear proliferator and missile seller, North Korea hereby earns the sharpest possible official denunciation from the Talossan Kingdom, which hereby also endorses sanctions or other actions that the U.N. Security Council may seek to enact.

Teh current crisis in the Russian Federation, only narrowly and temporarily alleviated, has pitted the only elected official in Russia, President Yeltsin, against a bunch of Gorbachev-appointed leftover neo-communists, fascists and imperialists, led by anti-reformist Speaker Russlan Khasbulatov. Talossa hereby endorses Yeltsin's reform efforts and recognizes his need for strong, direct presidential rule with the support of the military and police. Talossa hereby calls on the U.S. and other Western nations to aid Russia immediately and decisively.

If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the Cosâ shall agree to pass the bill, or the part of the bill objected to, it shall become a law over the objection of the King/Regent.

Art.72. The King/Regent may for reasons of conscience refuse to sign a bull but abstain from vetoing it; in this instance the bill becomes a law without the King/Regent's signature.

To insure that the PM is not a dictator (not yet, John) and insure responsible government, we enact that:

Article 5o is changed to read: "The Prime Minister has the following duties: He may dissolve the Cosâ, appoint and remove members of his cabinet (by PD)..." The rest remains as is. Furthermore, the last sentence of Art. 52 is changed to read: "This Cabinet is appointed by law (including PD). Any changes or new appointments must be made by law (including PD)."

RZ20 - The Shorten the Constituziun on the Regency Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Précis: This is a long bill but it actually shortens the Constituziun. Its effect is to say that if there is no King, or if the King is underage or unable to fulfill his Kingly duties, the Uppermost Cort fills in for him as Regent--rather that the ludicrously convoluted system contained in the present Constituziun. The following articles are changes to read as follows:



Art. 10.The Kingdom of Talossa is a constitutional, hereditary Monarchy with a King as its head of Staet.

Art. 11. The reigning monarch of Talossa, whether male or female, is to be styled "King."The Heir to the Throne shall be styled "Prince (or Princess) of Prospect."

Art. 12. The King is the symbolic head of the nation. The nation itself owes its existence to the Monarch, and reciprocally the nation democratically grants unto the King and his successors certain powers enumerated herein.

Art. 13. The royal powers are: The right to declare national holidays, grant titles of nobility, make the annual Speech from the Throne on the 26th of December (and at other times when events warrant), to veto bills (or Prime Dictates), to issue Writs of Dissolution for the Cosâ, to grant pardons and commute sentences, and to appoint the Prime Minister after elections.

Art. 18. Upon the demise or abdication of a King, the Heir to the Throne shall assume the Throne.

Art. 23. In the event that the King is below the age of eighteen, a condition of Regency shall exist. In this case, the Talossan Uppermost Cort shall act as a Council of Regency, and shall by unanimity (or, when necessary, by simple majority) exercise all the Royal powers and duties. When the Heir to the Throne reaches his/her eighteenth birthday, he/she shall be invested with the Royal powers and the condition of Regency shall cease.



Articles 14 and 24-27 are deleted. All references throughout the Constituziun to "King/Regent" are shortened to "King."

Art. 97. Talossans may renounce their own citizenship. This may be done by writing a Letter of Renunciation to the Secretary of State. It shall take effect two months following its reception by the Secretary of State (during which time the Citizen in question may retract the Letter). Talossans may also renounce their own citizenship through protracted nonparticipation. This is defined as refusal to vote in three consecutive elections for the Cosâ

RZ26 - The Ninth Vague Principle Referendum Act

Published in Clark #0



Approved by a referendum

A referendum is to be held at the earliest possible opportunity to vote on whether or not to add the following text as the 9th Vague Principle of the Constituziun. (If the other Vague Principles are abolished before this Referendum is passed, this would then become the only Vague Principle.)



"The reality of the Kingdom of Talossa is lived out most positively through its historic spirit, of which all Talossan institutions are guardians and enhancers. The Kingdom of Talossa is a community of persons having fun by doing things which are reasonably similar to what other ("real") countries do, whether for reasons of tourist nostalgia, out of a lust for power, in pursuit of parody, or--yes--as nationbuilding.

RZ27 - The Sigxfcritxe0 Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Whereas, Talossa has no law enforcement apparatus, and, Whereas, the recent events at Riverside University High School demonstrate the need for ruthless response to crime and civil unrest, Therefore the Cosâ hereby enacts the following into law:



Law enforcement in Talossa is vested in a national police force known as la Sigürità ['Security']. The head of the Sigürità shall be a Janet Reno-type cabinet-level post known as the Minister for Internal Security. The Sigürità shall assume the rôles of police department, Justice Department, FBI, and CIA with full investigative functions. All actions of the Sigürità shall be subject to Cosâ oversight, except those dealing with sensitive security matters, which shall be overseen by the Cabinet headed by the Prime Minister. Pending changes in American laws which would enable the Sigürità to fuly discharge its duties, the Sigürità shall not engage in any activity which violates American law. It may, of course, never engage in any activity which violates Talossan law.

WHEREAS the name and legacy of the late Italian creator of Fascism continue to influence the King and feature prominently within Talossan history and culture; now

RZ29 - The Declaration of War on Serbia Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Talossa, as a free, democratic and peace-loving state, is outraged beyond mere words at the extreme brutality and complete disregard for all the rules of humanity and civilised behavior as has been perpetrated by Serbia and the Bosnian Serbian Republic. Talossa, therefore, wishes to proudly announce to the world's nations that it is the first to express its disdain for Serbian atrocity by declaring that a state of war exists between the Talossan Kingdom and Serbia and their Bosnian Serbian allies. Any and all Talossan military actions to be undertaken inconducting this war are hereby placed under the direct command of Defence Minister General Wes Erni. The Talossan Uppermost Cort (TUC) is hereby set up as a tribunal in order to try all known and suspected Serbian war criminals. This state of war shall exist until the situation in the Balkas becomes one that can be accepted by the Talossan Kingdom, or until Serbia has been invaded and occupied by Talossan Armed Forces (whichever comes first). SERBIA MUST BE DESTROYED! This bill, if passed, is to take effect 1 July 93/XIV.

RZ30 - The Jurisprudence Increase Act

Published in Clark #0



Approved but Ephemeral

Whereas, Justice Jack Schneider has deliberately and wllfully chosen to divorce himself from the Talossan body politic; and Whereas, Justice Schneider has recently shown himself to be less than unbiased and jurisprudent in hearing cases against those Talossans with whom he maintains longstanding, personal grudges; and Whereas Talossa needs at least one Justice for whom judicial restraint and not activistic, legislate-from-the-bench is a credo; Therefore, the Cosâ hereby votes to replace Justice Schneider with former Justice John Jahn as a full member of the Uppermost Cort of Talossa.

Statute

Whereas Pórt Maxhestic Province's leaders have failed to hold elections as mandated by law (they should have been held three months ago); and Whereas, P.M.'s leaders have ignored all warning about this deadline in flagrant disregard for the rle of law; Therefore, the Cosâ hereby revokes P.M's constitution and independent status, and declares that its territory is hereby absorbed into that of Maritiimi Province. Furthermore, the gov't and constitution of Maritiimi Province are given full authority over the former P.M. Province. The new, expanded province is to be named Greater Maritiimi Province; or alternately, Maritiimi Maxhestic Province.

RZ32 - The Gary Schwichtenberg Act

Published in Clark #0



Citizenship

King Robert I is sponsoring the admission to citizenship of his friends Gary Schwichtenberg. He has 'legally obtained' a copy of the History and his "What Talossa Means to Me" essay is slated to appear in the August Støtanneu. The Cosâ hereby approves Schwichtenberg's application to become a Talossan citizenship.
This bill shall take effect upon completion of the Talossan Uppermost Cort's positive recommendation of Schwichtenberg to join our august community. This rather unusual order of events is being done to insure Gary a fully legal naturalisation before the next election.

RZ35 - The "I am not a number, I am a free man!" Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

16RC35 - The "I am not a number, I am a free man!" Act

WHEREAS since some citizens who have come have gone (in the Frédéric Maugey or Bill Renzi methods), and since this plays havoc with numbering citizens (we now have 30 citizens but is Andrew Worm really our 30th citizen, when 33 have gone before him?),

THEREFORE the Kingdom of Talossa hereby adopts a single form of "Social Security" numbers (Númeruis dal Sigürità Social; SS Numbers or "SSNs") for each citizen.

SSNs have three parts:

a. Form of naturalization
b. Date of naturalization
c. Citizenship number.

The first number in an SSN will be "0" (if you are the King, or were named a citizen by Royal decree back when I could do that), "1" if you were named a citzen by the Cosâ, and "2" if you are a native-born Talossan.

The second number is simply the month (01 through 12) and year in which you became a citizen.

The third number is the year (e.g. 81) and the fourth, the overall order of citizenship number.




EXAMPLES: King Robert became a citizen in December of 1979 and was the first citizen. Therefore his SSN is 012-79-0001. John Jahn was named a citizen in February 1983 and was the eighth citizen; his number is 002-83-0008. Nick Kovac was named a citizen by the Cosâ in April 1992; his number is 104-92-0033. A list of every citzen and his SSN will be published in the next CLARK, and an SSN will be given to every incoming citizen.



This act shall not make the Talossan government responsible for anyone's security, nor imply that they are in fact social.

RZ36 - The Deputy PM Enrichment and Ennoblement Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

The following act increases the number of seats every MC can hold. It alos takes 5 of the "extra seats" away from the PM and gives them to the Deputy PM, to make the latter a more meningful post. The following articles are rewritten as follows:



Art. 41. Each party shall divide its elective seats among its members as it sees fit, with the provision that no member may hold more than 35 seats.

Art. 42. As an exception to the preceding article, the MC who becomes Prime Minister receives 10 of the appointive seats (see Article 38) and can thus hold a maximum of 45 seats. Furthermore, the Deputy Prime Minister receives 5 of the appointive seats and can thus hold a maximum of 40 seats. (If the Deputy PM is replaced by the PM during a government, the 5 extra seats go to the new Deputy PM.)

Repealed

Whereas, the Cosâ a while back enabled native-born Talossans to achieve full citizenship without going through all the rigmarole the rest of us had to go through, but Whereas the system now in place is still clumsy and megabureaucratic (requiring the exchange of letters, formal Cosâ notification, etc.), the Cosâ hereby drops all the pretence and changes the following articles to read as follows:



Art. 92. Talossan Citizenship is only acquired by birth or by legal action by the Cosâ.

Art. 95. Children born to one or more Talossan parents (if born after 1 January 1983/X) are native-born Talossans ("Dandelions") and shall have full voting rights beginning on their 14th birthday. The Cosâ may by law grant them voting rights before this time if they appear sufficiently bright.

RZ38 - The Writs of Dissolution Act

Published in Clark #0



Repealed

Whereas the PM and the King may dissolve the Cosâ at any moment, thus possibly scrambling an entire month of Cosâ paperwork to the detriment of the environment and people's tempers, and Whereas Talossan tradition for many years now has caused elections to occur from the 15th of one month to the end of the 14th of the next month, the Cosâ hereby writes that tradition into law and furthermore crafts a new system of Cosâ dissolution that ensures that all voting on a Clark can be completed before the dissolution takes effect. The following articles are changed to read as follows:



Art. 33. All elections to the Cosâ are to be conducted during a period of one month from the 15ht day of the current month to 7.30 p.m. on the 14th of the following month. The first day of this period (the 15ht) is called the "Balloting Day" since it is when the ballots are made available; the last day (the 14th) is called the "Election Deadline."

Art. 56. Each Cosâ is elected to a limited term of office. The term of office shall begin when the Prime Minister is sworn in and he formally forms his government. This should occur during the two weeks following the end of elections. If it does not, the Prime Minister-elect may issue a "Warrant of Prorogation" and extend the government formation period another month. (If a Warrant of Prorogation is issued, the incoming government loses one month of its six month term, however, and may only issue and vote on a maximum of five Clarks before new elections are called.) If no government is formed during the extended six-week period, the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution.

Art. 57. The Cosâ may be dissolved before its term has expired. The King may issue "Writs of Dissolution" to dissolve the Cosâ. The PM may appeal for "Writs of Dissolution", and the King may under no circumstances refuse such an appeal. A Writ, once issued, takes effect only at the end of the month in which it was issued. If there is a Clark beinf voted on that month, all voting on that Clark may be completed before the Writ takes effect. The effect of a Writ of Dissolution is to dissolve the Cosâ and suspend its operations until after new elections are held. No Clark may be issued until two weeks after new elections are held and a Prime Minister sworn in.

RZ39 - Islands Annexation Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

The Cosâ hereby approves the annexation of two very small islands located approximately halfway through the Milwaukee River - and most definitely on the Talossan side of the river channel - and located underneath the viaduct/internation border crossing at Locust Street. One of these small islets is a sandbar, and thus is hereby designated Sandbar Island, or Caschôp Island in Talossan. The other is a pile of large rocks, and is thus designated Pile of Rocks Island, or Ascharschoûr Island in Talossan (The Talossan language verisons are the official names of these territories). They are just off the FLUNK/Mussolini Province coastline, and therefore will be considered part of Mussolini Province, and administered by FLUNK.
The US Government has offered no opposition to this annexation.
