    Whereas, Talossa has come into contact with several secessionist nations over the Internet, and Whereas, these nations have no common forum in which to associate with one another, Therefore the Cosa hereby recognizes Ben Madison as General Secretary of the League of Secessionist States (founded 1980) and encourages him to open dialogue with these nations. Furthermore, Talossa declares itself a member of the LOSS, while reserving our inherent right to oppose any LOSS action or policy if we so choose.

    The "People To Provinces, Again" Act (RC18.1.94) is hereby amended The words "from Manitoba westward" are stricken from Zone 1, and "all Canadian provinces from Ontario east" are stricken from Zone 4. The effect of this is to assign all Talossan citizens who live in Canada to the Province of Atattirk, so that this growing sector of our country may form a vigorous and undivided part of the political life of Atatürk Province. It also moves Marc- André Dowd from Vuode to Atatürk Province.

    Moreover, the following paragraph is added: "ZONE 7 (Pengopats Territory) All lands in the southern hemisphere, south of the Equator." This will assign all Talossan citizens in the Southem Hemisphere to the aforementioned Antarctic territory, so that this forgotten piece of Talossan real estate can grow into a vibrant, if chilly, part of the Kingdom.
