RZ3 - The Petty Tyrant Eradication Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Approved by a referendum

41RZ3 - The Petty Tyrant Eradication Amendment

WHEREAS the Organic Law demands that former citizens must bow and scrape before the Cort with an essay explaining just how terribly wrong they were, and further provides that the Cort may impose any penalty it feels appropriate for the sin of having left the nation (Org.XVIII.11), and

WHEREAS life can be tumultuous, with unusual circumstances or complicated changes of heart occuring from time to time, and causing good citizens to leave Talossa, and

WHEREAS someone rejoining our country should be a cause for celebration, not vindictiveness, and

WHEREAS there is certainly no reason why the Cort should have such arbitrary power to slap around someone trying to return to Talossa, and

WHEREAS there is nonetheless a need to address the special case of former citizens who wish to rejoin us, now

THEREFORE the eleventh section of the eighteenth article of the Organic Law is hereby amended to read:



Section 11. A Citizen who has voluntarily renounced his citizenship (in any fashion) may go through the normal citizenship procedure to have his citizenship restored. This procedure may also be skipped and full citizenship restored by an act of the Ziu, if it deems that the applicant merits extraordinary consideration.

RZ4 - Clarification on the Appointment of Judges Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Approved by a referendum

41RZ4 - Clarification on the Appointment of Judges Amendment

WHEREAS there are currently 2 different methods to appoint any Judge to any Court in the Organic Law, and

WHEREAS these methods completely contradict each other, and

WHEREAS these two different methods make are confusing, as one does not know which to following when appointing a Judge, and

WHEREAS there should be only one clear, organic way to appoint a Judge of any court in Talossa, now

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby approves the following amendment to the Organic Law, and transmits it to the people for ratification.

Article XVI, Section 1, of the Organic Law shall be amended to read:



The judicial power of Talossa shall be vested in one Cort pü Înalt, in English the Uppermost Cort, and in such inferior courts as the Cosâ may from time to time establish. The judges, both of the Uppermost and inferior courts, shall be elected in accordance with Article XVI, Section 4, and shall hold their offices for life (or until resignation), and may only be removed by a two-thirds vote in the Cosâ with approval by the King and the Senäts.



FURTHERMORE Article XVI, Section 4, of the Organic Law shall be amended to read:



Section 4. In the event of a vacancy, either in the Cort pü Înalt or in an inferior court, any member of the Ziu may nominate a replacement. The nominee shall be approved by a two-thirds vote in the Cosâ and a majority vote in the Senäts in favour of his appointment. Upon such approval the King shall appoint the nominee as a Judge of the Cort pü Înalt or in an inferior court and he shall then take his seat for life upon the court. The King may, stating his reasons for doing so, refuse to appoint the nominee, in which case the Ziu shall re-consider the nominee or nominate a new nominee. If after re-consideration of the nominee, two-thirds of the Cosâ and a majority of the Senäts has approved the nomination, then the King may not refuse to appoint the nominee as a Judge of the Cort pü Înalt or in an inferior court.

RZ5 - Protecting the Honour of the Senäts Amendment

Published in Clark #0



Approved by a referendum

WHEREAS, the Senäts is the directly elected upper chamber of government set forth by the Organic Law;

WHEREAS, the Senäts must maintain a level of decency, honour, accountability, and legitimacy;

WHEREAS, a Senator must also maintain a level of decency, honour, accountability, and legitimacy;

WHEREAS, the Organic Law lacks any clear mechanism for Senators to deal with members of the Senate who have disgraced the chamber due to mis-, mal-, or non- feasance.

THEREFORE, the Article IV of the Organic Law shall be amended to include:



Section 12. The Senate may impeach any of its members from the Chamber with a 2/3-majority vote. Following impeachment, a vote must be held within a fortnight within the home province for the duration of a fortnight with the issue of expulsion by a simple majority of participating voters. If the province votes in the affirmative for expulsion, the Senator will lose his seat immediately at the close of the polls and the outline for a new Senator in Article IV, Section 10 of the Organic Law will be invoked. If the province votes down expulsion, the impeachment charges will be dropped. Following a failed expulsion, the accused Senator may not again be tried for the same offense, pursuant to OrgLaw XIX.7. The former Senator is not barred from running for office in future elections as long as the former Senator maintains citizenship.

Statute

41RZ6 - The Citizens and Cestours Public Holiday Act

WHEREAS Talossans like to celebrate things, and

WHEREAS Talossans like to commemorate things, and

WHEREAS these facts are apparent from the 21 different items currently categorised informally as "national holidays", and

WHEREAS holidays are really cool things, and

WHEREAS Talossans are not predisposed to stop proclaiming different days on which things are to be celebrated, and

WHEREAS the list of recognised celebrations makes it look like the people of this nation have a lot more days off work than they really do, and

WHEREAS the government of the Kingdom should establish and fix a list of the holidays that it shall officially recognise and on which no non-critical government business is performed, and

WHEREAS the Cestours residing in the Kingdom have existing customs concerning their work habits which should — as another act of this Kingdom's great, magnificent, and beneficent kindness toward them — be recognised and the true Talossanity of these traditions acknowledged, even if the Cestours, in their ignorance, do not do so, and

WHEREAS that's plenty of WHEREAS's, now

THEREFORE be it resolved by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that the list of public holidays recognised and observed by the government is as follows:



1 January	New Year's Day	commemorating the first day of the calendar year, and World Day of Peace.
Third Monday in January	Landmark Day	commemorating all Talossan landmarks, such as Grecian Delight (which has its day of observance on 19 January)
Third Monday in February	Culture Day	commemorating the rich culture of the Kingdom, in line with Napoleon's Memorial Wargaming Day (which has its day of observance on 21 February), and being a traditional kick-off day for celebration of Berber Heritage Month
Final Monday in May	Cestour Day	celebrating Cestour heritage and the rich history of the protoTalossan realm, in line with Juneau Day (which has its day of observance on 28 May); celebrating the bridge-building to our Cestour residents that has been the hallmark of our nation
4 July	Foundation Day	celebrating King Robert I's Birthday (2 July) and Organic Law Day (6 July)
First Monday in September	Monarchy Day (observed)	commemorating the resumption of the Talossan monarchy with the coronation of Florence on 24 August
11 November	Armistice Day	commemorating the proclamation of peace following the Great War, and the invincible moral support that the Kingdom of Talossa contributes to all foreign conflicts, and that it would have contributed to that one in particular had the Kingdom been founded by then
Fourth Thursday in November	Victory Day (observed)	celebrating the triumphant victory of our nation in every single war it has ever fought (specifically, the Cone Wars)
25 December	Dependence Day	commemorating the final day of dependence of this nation on another, and also celebrating Christmas Day
26 December	Independence Day	celebrating our nation's first day of independence


FURTHERMORE, the government of the Kingdom shall recognise and observe as public holidays any and all days which may be proclaimed as such by the Crown.

MOREOVER, the government of the Kingdom shall recognise and observe as a public holiday the day of, or the day before the birthday of the current Sovereign.

ADDITIONALLY, any public holiday named above which is not fixed to a specific day of the week shall be observed on a Monday in years in which it falls on a Sunday, and shall be observed on the preceding Friday in years in which it falls on a Saturday.

FINALLY, all pre-existing days heretofore known as national holidays shall not be public holidays, but Days of Observance.

RZ7 - The Anti

Published in Clark #0



Approved by a referendum

41RZ7 - The Anti-Un-Renunciation Amendment

WHEREAS a Talossan citizen who renounces his or her citizenship currently has 24 hours after the said renunciation is acknowledged by the Secretary of State before the citizenship is officially lost, and

WHEREAS this period of time has been the cause of much agony for the citizens of the Kingdom, either in panicked acts to talk the renouncing citizen out of their decision, and/or in watching the citizen change his or her mind repeatedly about such a serious step, and

WHEREAS Talossan citizenship is the best thing money cannot buy, and

WHEREAS to renounce such a thing is a serious matter and should be given serious consideration long before posting about it, and

WHEREAS especially given legislation that will make the re-entry of former citizens less of an ordeal, providing that former citizens are always eligible to return to the Kingdom should they choose to re-apply for citizenship, now

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby proposes to amend the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa by means of the following resolution, and recommends that the said amendment be ratified by referendum of the electorate and thereupon promulgated by His Majesty the King:

RESOLVED, that Article XVIII, Section 9 of the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa be amended such that the sentence "It shall take effect twenty-four hours following its acknowledgement by the Secretary of State" is changed to read "It shall take immediate effect upon its acknowledgement by the Secretary of State through issuance of a Writ of Termination of Citizenship, which shall be published under the seal of the Chancery."
