35 RZ5 - The Republic of Somaliland Recognition Act
WHEREAS the former colony of British Somaliland was briefly independent before forming a unified state, the Republic of Somalia, with the neighboring former colony of Italian Somalia in 1960, and
WHEREAS British Somaliland was exploited almost from the beginning of that union, as resources were disproportionately allocated to the south of the nation, and
WHEREAS the resentment caused by this unfair treatment and the tyrannical rule of Somalian dictator Siad Barre ultimately sparked a civil war which lasted until Barre was overthrown in 1991, and
WHEREAS British Somaliland promptly declared itself to be independent once again upon freeing itself of Barre's rule, as the Republic of Somaliland, and
WHEREAS since that time the Republic of Somaliland has acted as a stable and responsible state, with relatively free and fair elections and a system of government combining democratic and traditional elements which enjoys wide support among the people, while the rest of Somalia remains a failed state mired in interclan warfare, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland should be recognized and rewarded for its fifteen years of relative peace and stability, rather than punished by being forced to link its destiny to a Somalia that has no foreseeable prospects of rising above fratricidal chaos, and
WHEREAS fifteen years of de facto independence means that the Republic of Somaliland is now more than half as old as the Kingdom of Talossa, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland meets the definition of a state contained in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, which further declares that the political existence of a state is independent of recognition by other states, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland's lack of international recognition is hampering its economic development and trapping its people in poverty by precluding international support and capital investment, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland has assumed the same boundaries it had when it originally achieved independence in 1960, and therefore complies with the African Union policy on territorial integrity, and
WHEREAS on 13 December 2005, Dr Ian Pearson, then Minister of State for Trade in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom, in response to a question from Kerry McCarthy MP (Bristol East)(Labour), stated that it was the opinion of the British government "that African countries should take a lead in any eventual recognition process" regarding Somaliland, and

WHEREAS the resentment caused by this unfair treatment and the tyrannical rule of Somalian dictator Siad Barre ultimately sparked a civil war which lasted until Barre was overthrown in 1991, and
WHEREAS British Somaliland promptly declared itself to be independent once again upon freeing itself of Barre's rule, as the Republic of Somaliland, and
WHEREAS since that time the Republic of Somaliland has acted as a stable and responsible state, with relatively free and fair elections and a system of government combining democratic and traditional elements which enjoys wide support among the people, while the rest of Somalia remains a failed state mired in interclan warfare, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland should be recognized and rewarded for its fifteen years of relative peace and stability, rather than punished by being forced to link its destiny to a Somalia that has no foreseeable prospects of rising above fratricidal chaos, and
WHEREAS fifteen years of de facto independence means that the Republic of Somaliland is now more than half as old as the Kingdom of Talossa, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland meets the definition of a state contained in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, which further declares that the political existence of a state is independent of recognition by other states, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland's lack of international recognition is hampering its economic development and trapping its people in poverty by precluding international support and capital investment, and
WHEREAS the Republic of Somaliland has assumed the same boundaries it had when it originally achieved independence in 1960, and therefore complies with the African Union policy on territorial integrity, and
WHEREAS on 13 December 2005, Dr Ian Pearson, then Minister of State for Trade in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom, in response to a question from Kerry McCarthy MP (Bristol East)(Labour), stated that it was the opinion of the British government "that African countries should take a lead in any eventual recognition process" regarding Somaliland, and
WHEREAS the Kingdom of Talossa is somehow in many respects a spiritually Berber nation, and the Berbers are an African people,
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby enacts that:

36RZ7 - The "It Seemed A Bit Daft Me Havin' To Guard Him When He's A Guard" Act
WHEREAS the personal security of His Majesty the King, and that of the Royal Family, and that of all Royal Officers, is of utmost importance to the Kingdom; and
WHEREAS at present the Kingdom does not have a Royal Bodyguard; and
WHEREAS if the Ziu is going to choose to create a Guard, it should choose an elite unit that reflects our Berber Heritage; and
WHEREAS the elite troops of the 19th century were Berbers called Zouaves; and
WHEREAS when in 1854 Napoleon III composed an Imperial Guard made up of elite troops, he chose the Zouaves of the French Army as the founding regiment; and
WHEREAS when in 1860 Pope Pius IX needed help in defending the Papal States from the Italian Risorgimento, Lamoriciere formed the the Papal Zouaves as a bodyguard. Gli Zuavi Pontifici were an international regiment with volunteers from Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Bavaria, the USA and Canada; and
WHEREAS during the American Civil War, the citizens of the State of Wisconsin freely joined both the Milwaukee Zouave Cadets (Co B, 5th WI Inf) and the Madison Zouaves (Co A, 23rd WI Inf). These companies form the earliest historic example of an explicit connection between Milwaukee and Berbers; and
WHEREAS Zouaves were said to act "as though warfare were merely a game and their lives simply the table stakes." During the American Civil War, General George B. McClellan called the Zouaves the "beau-ideal of a soldier.; and
WHEREAS the origins of the Zouaves can be traced to the Zouaoua, a fiercely independent a tribe of Berbers living in mountains of the Jurjura range in Algeria and Morocco. The Zouaoua speak Kabyle, a Berber language of the Afro-Asiatic language family. There are two million speakers of Kabyle in Algeria today; and
WHEREAS in the summer of 1830 a number of Zouaoua tendered their services to the French colonial army, and in October of that year were organized into two battalions. Over the following decades these Zouaves - as the French styled them - proved their valor in dozens of bloody desert encounters under the command of the intrepid General La Moriciere.
THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby enacts that, for the purposes of protecting the Sovereign, the Royal Family and all Royal Officers:
