RZ1 - The Military Reserve Reformation Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

39RZ1 - The Military Reserve Reformation Act

WHEREAS The Naval Reorganization Act 35 RZ32 set forth guidelines governing the Department of Defence and

WHEREAS this same Act mandates that an Admiral must, upon appointment to the office of either Minister of Defence or Prime Minister, resign the appointment of Admiral and relinquish all privileges of rank and

WHEREAS that is kind of unfair since other Officers get to simply serve in inactive reserve status and

WHEREAS the position of Admiral is one that should not be left vacant while an Admiral serves as the Minister of Defence and

WHEREAS 36RZ7 contains no such requirement for the Captain of the Guard and

WHEREAS the Captain of the Guard is a post that should not be held by the Prime Minister or Minister of Defence and

WHEREAS the post should also not be left vacant while the Captain of Guard serves on inactive status as a Prime Minister or Minister of Defence and so

THEREFORE the positions of "Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve" and "Commandant" are hereby established. The position of Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve will hold the grade of O-5 like that of the Admiral, but shall exist only within the Inactive Reserves. The Position of Commandant shall be the equivalent rank to the Capitán d’Altahál but shall exist only within the Inactive Reserves.

1. Any Admiral called to service as the Minister of Defence or Prime Minister shall have the option to resign the position of Admiral and accept the inactive reserve position of Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve. Anyone holding this rank shall be styled "Vice Admiral." No person may attain this rank without first having held the rank of "Admiral."

A. Upon completion of service as Minister of Defence or Prime Minister, one may continue their service in the inactive reserves as a Vice Admiral of the Fleet until such time as they are eligible for retirement or are called back to active service as the Admiral.

B. A Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve may return to active duty as a Commodore O-4 if not re-appointed to the position of Admiral and will serve in a command or staff position as determined by the Minister of Defence.

2. FURTHERMORE, 36RZ7 Section 2 subparagraph D is amended to read:

A. El Capitán d’Altahál shall be appointed by the Minister of Defence upon recommendation of the Sovereign, and shall serve at the pleasure of the Sovereign. El Capitán d’Altahál shall be chosen from the voting citizens of the Kingdom who have actual infantry experience, as obtained through the Talossan Marine Corps or through service in the Army or Marine Corps (or their local equivalent) of any other nation. The Capitán d’Altahál shall not also hold the office of Prime Minister or Minister of Defence. If the Capitán d’Altahál should be called up to one of these positions, they shall be required to resign from their position for the duration of their service to the Prime Ministry or Ministry of Defence.

B. When the Capitán d’Altahál is called up to service, s/he will have the option of assuming the Reserve position of Commandant. At the conclusion of their service as Prime Minister or Minister of Defence, they may remain in the Reserves at the Rank of Commandant until eligible for retirement in accordance with present military regulations or may return to Active Duty. In the event the position of Capitán d’Altahál is filled by another or the Commandant is not nominated to that position again, the Commandant may transfer to the Active Component of the Marine Corps with the rank of Capitán (Captain) and assigned to a command or staff position at the discretion of the Minister of Defence.

Statute

39RZ4 - The BOHICA Act

WHEREAS Talossa has an active, all volunteer armed service and

WHEREAS serving one's country is a good thing and

WHEREAS all good things must come to an end and

WHEREAS veterans of the Talossan military should be afforded due credit for their service so

THEREFORE it be resolved that members shall be discharged from the military under one of the three following discharge characters:



HONOURABLE - Awarded to a member who, upon discharge, has conducted themselves with honour during the period of their enlistment and to whom any lesser discharge would be inappropriate.

GENERAL - Awarded to a member whose record of conduct is marred by some minor disciplinary infractions. This discharge will be awarded upon recommendation of a senior officer and is subject to final approval by the Minister of Defence.

DISMISSAL - A removal from the service due to severe disciplinary infractions or conviction by the High Cort or as laid out by active military law and regulation. The final approving authority for awarding this discharge to an enlisted person is the Minister of Defence and the King for Officers and Warrant Officers.



All veterans discharged under HONOURABLE or GENERAL conditions will be entitled to wear all military medals awarded during their service. Service members who are DISMISSED from the service of the King may not re-enter military service unless authority is granted by the Royal Household.

Discharges may be upgraded after the fact by Royal decree or a ruling made by a Discharge Review Board and signed by the Minister of Defence. No discharge may be downgraded after being issued.

Veterans discharged under GENERAL conditions or who are DISMISSED from the King's service may make a formal request for review by the Discharge Review Board and the Minister of Defence to consider an upgrade of discharge character.

Service members approved for "Retired" status will be awarded an Honourable Discharge and will be permitted to retain their rank with the post-nominal "Ret." or "Retired" along with the member's respective branch of service.

RZ6 - The International Community Entrance Bill, Iteration XIV, I.C.E. 9

Published in Clark #0



Statute

39RZ6 - The International Community Entrance Bill, Iteration XIV, I.C.E. 9

WHEREAS, as an independent and sovereign nation possessing of a long and proud heritage, Talossa merits a place among the ranks of other states of equal status, and

WHEREAS, our beautiful country deserves to have its voice heard within the international dialog of the world in order to help promote Talossan interests abroad, and

WHEREAS, the organization known as the United Nations is the international organization of the greatest prominence, and

WHEREAS, entrance into the aforementioned United Nations is predicated upon our willingness to accept and uphold the responsibilities and obligations delineated for a signatory nation within the document known as the "Charter of the United Nations," and

WHEREAS, the stated purposes of the UN are peace, friendly relations, international cooperation, and harmony, and Talossa also believes in these things, so there is no conflict but rather an affirmation of Talossan values, and

WHEREAS, the practical obligations that would be imposed upon us by UN membership are the minimal ones of an annual fee, agreeing to pacific resolution of international disputes, provision of troops or facilities if needed, participation in the International Court of Justice in the case of international legal disputes, and other such things easily met by our burgeoning state, and

WHEREAS, the benefits of joining the international community in an active manner far outweigh the negligible fees, which would be calculated as a percentage from our GNP, as well as the other items of obligation which would have generally already been Talossan policy anyway and thus no hardship, and

WHEREAS, Talossa is desirous of embarking on a long career of vibrant international relations, rather than the sporadic and chilly attentions we currently receive, excepting of course the United States of America's kind recognition of Talossan sovereignty, and we hope that this will be the impetus behind the crystallization of a new era of international communication,

THEREFORE, the Kingdom of Talossa hereby officially recognizes, supports, and endorses the ideals and goals detailed within the United Nations Charter, and that we hereby declare our intentions to join the august body of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and avows that Talossa will meet the obligations which are a part of being a member with full faith and our greatest exertions.

RZ7 - The Domesday Act

Statute

39RZ7 - The Domesday Act

WHEREAS it is entirely in the best interest of the nation's people to know themselves, as admonished by the temple of Apollo at Delphi, and

WHEREAS this will yield not just interesting information about the character of our nation, but also useful knowledge that we might use to better tailor our recruiting processes, and

WHEREAS there have been a variety of attempted censuses in the past, achieving results that have been negligible at best, and

WHEREAS if something is worth doing, it is worth doing properly, and

WHEREAS the last time this bill was up for a vote, it was shot down with the objection that legislation wasn't needed to make this happen, and

WHEREAS almost a year later it still hasn't happened,

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby directs the Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Talossa to take whatever steps he deems necessary to conduct a census of all the citizens of Talossa, including whatever extraordinary degree of delegation that will be required before he finds someone to do it, and compile, to the best of his ability, information about the demographics of our country including age, sex, how they found out about Talossa originally, their level of involvement and amount of activity in Talossa. The Secretary of State is directed to release only the aggregate information in a format easy to manipulate to yield useful statistics, rather than individual results, so as to preserve the privacy of our citizenry. This census is to take place as soon as possible, and within a reasonable timeframe, and to be reported back to this body when complete. This is not a continuing measure.

Statute

39RZ12 - The Constitution for Benito Act

WHEREAS the people of Benito drafted a constitution which was passed through the Provincial Legislature of the Province and

WHEREAS this Constitution was ratified through a Provincial Referendum and

WHEREAS the people of Benito have spoken so

THEREFORE, the Constitution of the Sovereign Province of Benito is hereby proclaimed:



CONSTITUTION OF THE SOVEREIGN PROVINCE OF BENITO

We, the people of Benito, do hereby endorse this constitution for the government of our great Province and do therefore ordain it to be the rule and guide of our government and the guardian of our rights.

The State

Art. 1. The Sovereign Province of Benito is an autonomous and self-governing member of the federal Talossan nation and pledges eternal allegiance to His Royal Majesty, and the Regipäts Talossan.

Art. 4. The capital of the Province is Garibaldi.

Art. 5. The sole historic and national language of the entire Talossan people, and therefore of the Benitian Province, is the Talossan language (el glhetg Talossan). The Benitian government shall also recognise English as a useful working second language, and may adopt tertiary working languages by law.

Art. 6. The Provincial flag shall be registered with the College of Arms with the blazon, Per fess vert and gules an inescutcheon per tierce vert, argent, and gules fimbriated or in chief a royal crown proper.

The Provincial Chancellery

Art 7. Legislative power in the Sovereign Province of Benito is invested in a Provincial Chancellery. The Provincial Chancellery shall consist of 11 seats filled by representatives of political parties granted legislative seats in the general election.

Art 8. The Provincial Chancellery shall have power to pass any bill into law by a simple majority vote of its members. Voting sessions shall open at the first hour of the first day of each month except during national General Elections. At the dissolution of the Cosa, the Provincial Chancellery will also be dissolved. Seats in the Provincial Chancellery will be redistributed according to the ballots cast in the General Election by citizens of the Province.

Art 9. Members of the Provincial Chancellery shall be known as Chancellors and must participate in each open session of the Chancellery. Failing to vote or abstain in 3 consecutive legislative sessions shall make a Chancellor eligible for removal.

Art 10. A Chancellor may be removed from their seat in the Provincial Chancellery following conviction by the Cort pü Inalt, Dismissal from the Talossan Military, death, incapacitation or failing to vote or abstain in 3 consecutive legislative sessions. Removal shall not be automatic. Following one or more of these incidents, any member of the Provincial Chancellery may present a Writ of Impeachment at the next legislative session which shall clearly state for which of the aforementioned reasons a Chancellor should be removed. The Writ shall be authorized upon receiving a 3/5 majority vote and then presented to the applicable party leader by the Maestro.

Any seats left vacant after such time will be turned over to the Viceré for distribution.

The Maestro

Art 11. The Maestro shall be the majority leader in the Provincial Chancellery. He shall have the power to issue proclamations which have the force of law. These proclamations may be appealed or amended as regular laws.

Art 12. A new Maestro may be chosen at any time by a resolution approved by a majority of the Provincial Chancellery, but a resolution electing a new Maestro or continuing the current Maestro in office must be approved by the Provincial Chancellery at least once in every term of the national Cosa. The first order of business of each newly assembled Provincial Chancellery will be to elect a new Maestro from among its members.

Art 13. The Viceré, or Viceroy is the representative of the King of Talossa, and as such, shall have veto power over all laws of the Chancellery. The Viceré is appointed by the King pursuant to Organic Law.

Justice

Art 16. The Cort pü Inalt shall have original jurisdiction to try all cases arising under Benitian law.

RZ14 - The Have a Coca and a Smile Act

Published in Clark #0



Citizenship

39RZ14 - The Have a Coca and a Smile Act

WHEREAS Alanna Coca, better known to those Talossans she is most familiar with as Coleen, began pursuing Talossan citizenship, the best thing money can't buy, back in June of last year or something, and

WHEREAS time passed and she had taken a powder, and

WHEREAS this effectively terminated her immigration process, according to The Umpteenth Immigration Reform Act, and

WHEREAS pursuant to the terms of that governing legislation, the said Alanna Coca (a.k.a. Coleen) is eligible to pursue citizenship in this great nation again, but it can be granted to her only through the extraordinary measure of legislation passed by this august body and approved by that guy with the beard, if we can pry him away from his paperback book collection long enough to assent to such a thing, and

WHEREAS the said Alanna Coca, having claimed to wise up -- or at least to have succumbed to the pain of the arm-twisting being visited upon her by other Talossans, who shall remain nameless but who are related to both her and me -- now indicates an active and ardent interest in becoming a Talossan citizen, and

WHEREAS there's no reason yet to doubt her, but we have until the end of the February Clark to see if she's gonna take another powder, and

WHEREAS the said Alanna Coca is the only one of my sisters who was smart enough to marry one of my own high school buddies (someone who has inspired me in my choice of -- or at least resignation to -- our common hairdo), a really great guy who doesn't deserve to be saddled with a non-Talossan wife, now

THEREFORE pursuant to clause 6 of Talossan statutory law 35RZ22, the Ziu hereby directs that a grant of citizenship be issued by the King, through His Majesty's Chancery, for Alanna Coca.

RZ18 - The Creation of a Magistracy Act

Published in Clark #0



Statute

39RZ18 - The Creation of a Magistracy Act (as amended)

WHEREAS the process of having the facts in every court case determined by all three justices of the Cort pü Inalt has proven unduly cumbersome, and

WHEREAS the interests of justice would be served by having an avenue for appeal of trial court decisions, so that judicial decisions made in the course of trial can be re-examined and reversed if they later appear to be inappropriate, now

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby enacts that:



1. There shall be a Magistrate's Court (Cort dels Edilicieux) for the trial of all cases arising under the laws of the Kingdom of Talossa, both civil and criminal.

2. The Magistrate Court shall consist of not less than two and no more than three Magistrates. No member of the Uppermost Cort and/or person(s) barred by Article XVI, Section 3 of the Organic Law, from being a Judge and/or non-citizens may be a Magistrate. Magistrates shall be chosen and removed as provided in Article XVI, Section 1 & Section 4 of the Organic Law.

3. Except as otherwise provided by law, or rule or order of court, the judicial power of the Magistrate's Court with respect to any action, suit or proceeding may be exercised by a single magistrate, who may preside alone and hold a regular or special session of court at the same time other sessions are held by other magistrates.

4. The business of the Magistrate's Court shall be divided among the magistrates as provided by the rules and orders of the court. The magistrates shall elect one of their number as Chief Magistrate, who shall be responsible for the observance of such rules and orders, and shall divide the business and assign the cases so far as such rules and orders do not otherwise prescribe.

5. Any final judgment of the Magistrate's Court (and such other magistrate's orders as are made appealable by the rules and orders of the Uppermost Court) may be appealed to the Uppermost Court. The time and procedures for bringing such appeals may be specified by the rules and orders of the Uppermost Court, but in the absence of such rules appeals of a Magistrate's Court judgment must be filed with the Uppermost Court within 15 days of the date the judgment is issued by the magistrate.



FURTHER the Cosa hereby elects Owen Edwards and Sir Samuhel Tecladeir as magistrates of the Magistrate's Court.

Uréu q'estadra sa: Owen Edwards (MC-PP)

Scribe's Note: Originally, Section 2 of this Act read thusly: "The Magistrate Court shall consist of the justices of the Uppermost Cort (who shall serve ex-officio as magistrates in addition to their role as justices of the Uppermost Cort, and up to four other magistrates who shall be chosen and removed as provided in Article XVI, Section 1 of the Organic Law, and replaced as provided in Article XVI, Section 4 of the Organic Law." By Act of the 42nd Cosa, it was amended to the current language by passage of 42RZ2

RZ21 - The WTF Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Approved by a referendum

39RZ21 - The WTF Amendment

WHEREAS the third paragraph of Section 1 of Article XV of the Organic Law reads as follows:


For the purpose of this section territories shall form part of the province as they do in elections for senators.


a sentence which simply befuddles any student of Talossan law, and

WHEREAS at least two of the 100 finest legal minds in the Kingdom of Talossa were heard to utter the phrase "WTF" on reading this mysterious sentence, and

WHEREAS Section 2 of Article XV reads as follows:


The Covenants of Rights and Freedoms, being sacred and necessary to the defence of our free society, are entrenched provisions of this Organic Law. They may only be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Talossan people in a referendum, in addition to the normal amendment procedure.


which makes it sound like two referenda are required to amend the Covenants, and

WHEREAS two referenda would be both silly and pointless, and although we like silly, we don't like pointless, now

THEREFORE the third paragraph of Article XV, Section 1 of the Organic Law is hereby removed, and

FURTHERMORE Section 2 of Article XV is hereby amended to read:


The Covenants of Rights and Freedoms, being sacred and necessary to the defence of our free society, are entrenched provisions of this Organic Law. They may only be amended if the referendum required by Section 1 passes with a two-thirds majority.
