WHEREAS Talossan Statute 38RZ15, Section 4 states that “the Prime Minister shall be required to submit to the Ziu, as a government bill, and in time for consideration by the second Clark of the Cosa, a detailed budget listing all planned expenses of the government through the current Cosa, specifying the amounts to be requisitioned for each Cabinet Ministry and the purpose of each such expense.”
WHEREAS I have now completed my assessment of the Budgetary Requirements of each of the Ministries,
WHEREAS the current balance of the Royal Treasury stands at 559¤46 ($839.65),
WHEREAS while it is not envisioned that all Ministries or offices of the Royal Household will be spending money this Cosa term, I am bound to “take care to ensure that the budget presented will be sufficient to provide for all expenses of the government of the Kingdom of Talossa until the next budget shall be presented, during the subsequent Cosa”, and have accordingly made small allocations to cover potential small unforeseen expenses,
THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that:
Section 1: Allocations
A) The Ministry of Home Affairs shall be allocated a budget of ℓ60 ($90) to support requests by provinces for funds.
B) The Ministry of Stuff shall be allocated a budget, not to exceed ℓ30 ($45), to cover a trial program of advertising.
C) The Royal Treasury shall be allocated a budget, not to exceed ℓ20 ($30), to cover potential registration of Talossa as an entity under US law.
D) The Ministry of Finance shall be allocated a budget as follows:
Section 2: All other Government Agencies, Bureaus, and offices, formed or to be formed are allocated no funds and must apply to their parent ministry for any funding.
Section 3: Details of any project which monies from the above allocations will be spent will be publicly published, along with estimated costs, not less than two weeks before the actual purchase is made. Monies not allocated above shall be retained in the central fund. For security and administration purposes, all allocated monies shall remain in the central fund and, subject to approval by the Minister of Finance and provisions in this Act, may be drawn down on a case by case basis by each Minister.
Section 4: The investment policy of Talossa for this Cosa is to leave funds in the interest-bearing bank account that serves as the central fund.
Section 5: In accordance with Section 5 of Talossan Statute 38RZ15, the Government may later in this Cosa submit supplemental budgeting legislation for the approval of the Ziu. If the Kickstarter to fund coin production fails, such legislation shall be submitted.
BE IT FURTHER ENACTED:
The Men in Black II Act (38RZ15) is amended to include:
3. Spending Authority Removal At any time before an allocation is disbursed by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, members representing at least one-third of the Cosâ by seats may petition the government that such spending shall not be incurred until such issuance shall be ordered by an act of the Ziu. The Burgermeister of Inland Revenue shall be required to grant all such petitions until such time as an act of the Ziu restores the funding.

Whereas (doesn't everyone know it?)
we've always had need of a poet
to show us the way
and to brighten our day
and to capture the thought of the moment.
Therefore by the Ziu be enacted,
as follows, in verses protracted:
that we do create
a new office of state
to accomplish the purpose abstracted.
El Metrefieir Laureat
shall the office be named, come to that,
and we won't be sorry that
this Poet Laureate
will our Royal Household work at.
PM shall advise, King confirm,
this soul to an indefinite term
of true dedication
to versification
on topics of public concern.

WHEREAS money and accurate records of financial transactions are very important to any organization, government, or nation
WHEREAS we have lost or misplaced funds and documents, and it is next to impossible to hold someone accountable
WHEREAS the current appointment of Burgermeister allows it to be a 'political' position versus an 'accounting' position,
THEREFORE we, the Ziu, hereby amend Section 2.2 of 35RZ24 “The Royal Household Cleaning Act” to read:
2.2 The Burgermeister of Inland Revenue shall be appointed by the Seneschal and shall only be removed by the King with a 2/3 vote of the Ziu.

FURTHERMORE the Ziu hereby adds "Fiôvâ Capitol Building - The Mitchell Building" to the list.

WHEREAS we should be very careful when we interpret the intention behind a vote outside its literal meaning, now
THEREFORE votes that are cast during the General Elections and are specified as votes for the cosa election shall not be counted as votes for provincial elections, unless the provincial legislation of the province for which these provincial elections are conducted specifically instructs otherwise, as determined by the Chancery.

WHEREAS the language of our proud nation is undeniably important, and
WHEREAS it's SO important that all our important documents should be readable in Talossan, and
WHEREAS whilst one cannot legislate for all aspects of culture, the cultural benefits of translating our official documents into Talossan would no doubt be quite substantial, and
WHEREAS an active Translation Service filled with members would reduce the workload on certain individuals, and
WHEREAS it would give people stuff to do that doesn't involve front-line politics, now
THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that the section of 36RZ17 (The Cabinet Refinishing Act) dealing with the Büreu del Glheþ is hereby amended to read as follows:
"The Büreu del Glheþ Talossan (Language Bureau), administered by the Ladintsch Naziunal. This Bureau shall specifically promote the use of the Talossan language, shall work in concert with all extra-governmental societies and groups to do the same, and shall advise the Department of the Census in the Chancery regarding the creation of Talossan names for citizens who request them. Within the Büreu there shall be a division known as the Talossan Translation Service whose task shall be to translate official or historical documents into el Glheþ Talossan. The Translation Service shall be led by a Director appointed by the Ladintsch Naziunal."
FURTHERMORE the Ziu hereby mandates that the Talossan Translation Service may structure itself and recruit its members as it sees fit, though it may not discriminate on any grounds other than the applicant's proficiency with el Glheþ Talossan.

WHEREAS there is currently little competition for Cosâ seats, and
WHEREAS this might be because there are more Cosâ seats than citizens, and
WHEREAS the result of this is that parties that barely get any votes can still be elected in the Cosâ, and
WHEREAS because of this there is little incentive for very small parties to work together, and
WHEREAS another result of the ridiculous amount of seats is that large parties are able to distribute near unlimited amounts of seats to candidates, and
WHEREAS these problems could be solved by switching to a real Cosâ, and
WHEREAS to realistically require parties to assign all their seats to different persons the size of the Cosâ needs to be reduced to about 20 seats, and
WHEREAS this would significantly reduce the proportionality of the Cosâ, and
WHEREAS this could be solved by not reducing the Cosâ but instead waiting for the population to increase, and
WHEREAS it will take an eternity for the population to increase enough to result in a real 200 seat Cosâ, and
WHEREAS a Cosâ of about 60 seats might be the best of both worlds, and
WHEREAS this would not significantly affect the proportionality of the Cosâ, but still increase competition for Cosâ seats, and
WHEREAS 60, unlike 200, can be divided by three, which might be useful, since 2/3rds of the Cosâ is an important threshold, now
THEREFORE Article VIII, Section 1 of the Organic Law, which previously read: “The Cosâ is composed of 200 seats, apportioned among political parties based on their performance in the General Election” will be amended to read: “The Cosâ is composed of 60 seats, apportioned among political parties based on their performance in the General Election” ;
FURTHERMORE Article VIII Section 3, which previously read: “Seats won by each party shall be divided by that party among its own members and supporters as it sees fit, with the proviso that each Member of the Cosâ may hold no more than thirty seats.”, will be amended to read: “Seats won by each party shall be divided by that party among its own members and supporters as it sees fit, with the proviso that each Member of the Cosâ may hold no more than nine seats and seats must be assigned as a whole and cannot be divided among multiple MC's."

Rejected by the ZIU
WHEREAS we have reached a point where proper administration warrants stability, continuity and a separation from partisan politics and
WHEREAS we need to better define the role of cabinet ministers and
WHEREAS this can be done through our civil service system so
THEREFORE the Ziu enacts that 25RZ44 (The Commissioner of the Civil Service Act), 36RZ17 (The Cabinet Refinishing Act) and 35RZ24 (The Royal Household Cleaning Act) are amended as follows:
(a) Section 3 of 36RZ17 shall be amended to read: “Each Cabinet Officer shall be empowered to create within his Ministry other subdivisions not listed by this act, but any such reorganization shall require the approval of the Seneschal. Unless otherwise dictated by Talossan Coolness Factor considerations, the principal subdivisions of a Ministry other than the Prime Ministry shall be titled bureaus or sub-ministries, and the principal subdivisions within the Prime Ministry shall be titled agencies or administrations.”
(b) Section 4 of 36RZ17 shall be abolished, with the numbering of the act preserved.
(c) Section 5 of 36RZ17 shall be abolished, with the numbering of the act preserved.
(d) The section related to the Civil Service within 35RZ24 is hereby amended to read:
“The Civil Service, headed by the Commissioner of the Civil Service. The function of the Civil Service is to appoint and dismiss Permanent Secretaries within the cabinet ministries as well as other non-political appointees as may be appropriate.”
(e) Section 2 of 35RZ24 is amended to read:

Whereas during the last General Elections the OrgLaw was amended, allowing provinces to conduct their own senatorial elections, and
Whereas usually during General Elections, which include senatorial elections, ballots are sent to all voters, so they know about the election, and which enables them to vote in case they don’t vote on witt, and
Whereas provinces may want to send their own ballots during these elections, so provincial citizens know about the senatorial elections, and
Whereas this is not always possible, since provinces do not have access to the email address of their citizens, now
Therefore, Section 5, clause 1 of 40RZ9 — The Freedom of Information and Privacy (Gov.) Act, which currently reads: “The Database shall only be accessible by leaders of parties which have been fully registered with the Chancery.” will be amended to read: "The Database shall only be accessible by leaders of parties which have been fully registered with the Chancery and provincial officers, provided the conditions in section 6 of this act are met.",
Furthermore a new section will be added to 40RZ9 — The Freedom of Information and Privacy (Gov.) Act after Section 5, which will read:
"Section 6: Information available to provincial officers.
Provincial officers may have access to part of the electoral database established by section 5 of this act, provided the following conditions are met:
1) The provincial officer is (partly) responsible for the conduct of provincial elections and needs the information in the database for the conduct of these elections.
2) Provincial law of the province for which the officer serves must actively allow the officer to have access to the information.
3) The provincial officer must send a request to the SoS for access to the information. The SoS may refuse the request if the conditions in this section are not met.
4) The provincial officer will only get access to the information about the citizens of the province for which he is conducting the elections.
5) The provincial officer may not share the information with anyone not entitled to the information.
6) The provincial officer may use the information only for the conduct of provincial elections.”

removed by the King upon a binding 2/3 vote of the Ziu or by the Uppermost Cort due to gross
misconduct or failure to execute on sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of "The Glass Treasury Act".

WHEREAS in order to operate in most parts of the world, businesses need to be registered AND
WHEREAS Talossa doesn't have any rules for such a process AND
WHEREAS At least one non-official corporation (A newspaper) was sold and transferred between citizens over the course of its history AND
WHEREAS At least one corporation owned in part by a Talossan has made significant revenue from Talossan citizens without ever having to register in Talossa or pay any income tax or registration fees
THEREFORE the Ziu resolves that:
Citizens of the Kingdom of Talossa shall be allowed to petition the Office of the Ministry of Finance to register a business they own, control, or are an authorized representative of (such as an affiliate)
Businesses registered this way only receive permission to offer products and services to citizens and prospectives of Talossa and still need to be registered in their country of origin for all services offered outside of Talossa (and, for that matter, usually inside of Talossa to).
Two types of corporations are recognized: Internal, which only does business in Talossa to Talossan citizens, and External, which also exist outside of Talossa.
A registration record shall contain the following information:
- The name of the citizen registering the business
- The type of corporation (internal or external)
The type of corporate income tax applied to the corporation, if applicable. If not, a note whether it is non-profit or for profit
- The name under which the corporation will do business in Talossa
- The name of the corporation outside Talossa, if applicable. This information will be only visible to citizens of the Kingdom of Talossa
- The registration number
- The list of other Talossan citizens who are part owner or director of the business, if applicable
Upon registration, the corporation shall receive a registration number composed as follows:
- 2 (or 3) digits corresponding to the number of the Cosa of the last published Clark
- The business type : E for External, I for Internal
- The tax code letter as defined in the corporate tax laws in place at the moment of registration. Until such a law is in place, 2 letters shall be used: N for Non-Profit organization, and F for For profit organizations
- The 4 digit citizen number of the person in charge of the business, padded by zero
- A dash
- A 3 digit number, padded with zero, which represent the order of business registrations for that citizen so that his or her first business shall have the number 001, and the second shall have the number 002.
This law is only meant to define the registration number of businesses and doesn't provide
specific rights or obligations outside of these provisions

The Minister of Finance shall be allowed to create an official Talossa Business Registration Office which shall be allowed to:
- Issue business registrations to Talossa Citizens who request one, possibly under a Talossan name

WHEREAS the noble words of the Organic Law proclaim that: “Liberty consists of any action which is not detrimental to others, and no right herein enumerated, or elsewhere recognised by
the Cosâ, shall extend to anyone engaged in activities which injure, endanger, risk or compromise the physical health, privacy, or tranquility of other persons through the pretended exercise of said right.”; and
WHEREAS the Organic Law also stipulates that: “Talossa shall never tax nor purport to tax, unduly burden, outlaw or abridge for its citizens any right to acts of: peaceful assembly [...]”; and
WHEREAS Talossa, in the past, has involved itself too greatly in the dealings of its citizens with private recreational organizations patterning themselves on nation-states; and
WHEREAS we should strive for greater consistency in our dealing with such matters, and allow for the maximal liberty of our citizens; and
WHEREAS the convoluted nature of, and occasional rapid change of, international geopolitics suggests that the Government of Talossa should not be eternally constrained by statute concerning the types of governments with which it exchanges ambassadors and/or affords aid, friendship or protection: now

1. Repeal of micronation acts
a) 37RZ2 The What's the Difference Act is repealed.

WHEREAS John le Carre was probably right when he said that once you start leading the "inside-out world of espionage, you never shed it". and
WHEREAS unlike our larger state counterparts we should never need to employ such illicit tactics, and
WHEREAS it makes me uncomfortable that government spies could be among us now, unbeknownst to the general public, unaccountable to the people, and sanctioned by one individual, and
WHEREAS Talossa is a country that should be built on trust and friendship, and
WHEREAS these particular tactics of espionage hark back to the days of King Robert I, and
WHEREAS it has never been known for us to implement such tactics in modern Talossa before, and we have still managed to effectively catch fraudsters, now
THEREFORE, be it enacted by the Ziu that Clause 2 of 36RZ10 The Anti-Imposter and Liar Act, which reads Officials of the Kingdom of Talossa who create or use false identities as a means to investigate suspicious citizenship applications or other activities involving fraudulent or misleading identities or statements may, if prosecuted under this act, claim exemption from the provisions of this act by demonstrating that any subterfuge employed met all of the following criteria:
1) Was in response to a suspicious circumstance, as reasonably understood;
2) Was reasonably expected to be effective in uncovering fraud; and,
3) Was used only for a brief time and limited to discovering suspected fraud.
4) Can demonstrate that Prime Minister authorized the subterfuge and that the Minister of Defence and the Uppermost Cort were informed of the subterfuge.
is hereby repealed in full, and replaced with the following text:
Clause 2. Charges brought under this Act shall be heard in the Magistrate's Court, and require a majority verdict by the presiding Magistrates. The decision of the Magistrate's Court may be overturned by appeal to the Uppermost Court, and will require an unanimous decision by the presiding Justices.
FURTHERMORE, Clause 1 of 36RZ10 is to be amended to read as follows:
Clause 1. Except as provided in Clause 2, Whoever does any of the following is guilty of a crime subject to punishment by banishment, revocation of citizenship, any combination of civil disabilities and any other authorized punishments as described in 35RZ34:
FURTHERMORE, Clause 1.2 is to be amended to read as follows:
Uses another person's identity or uses an identity that creates the impression of another person to post or convey messages via email or on any public forum in the Kingdom of Talossa.

WHEREAS all Talossans should be equal before the law, and
WHEREAS equality before the law in undoubtedly a good thing, and
WHEREAS to that extent no waivers should be considered, and
WHEREAS it’s best if Talossans have the opportunity to get to know every prospective citizen that happens by, and
WHEREAS there’s probably a good reason for having a set amount of time to get to know new people, and
WHEREAS this should apply to Berbers too, and
WHEREAS it would be discriminatory to waiver the normal procedure of one prospective of North African Berber ancestry but not others, and
WHEREAS the effort of determining whether the ancestry is true or not probably isn’t worth it, and
WHEREAS it’s just easier for everyone if all prospectives’ immigration applications are treated the same, and
WHEREAS The Law Of Return Act didn’t really work anyway, now
THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that 31RZ21 (The Law of Return Act) which reads:
PROVISION 1: During each elected Cosâ term, the Immigration Minister and Uppermost Cort shall be empowered to grant Talossan citizenship to ONE (1) person of demonstrable North African Berber ancestry who has explicitly applied for Talossan citizenship. Other normal provisions for citizenship shall be waived in this one case.
PROVISION 2: The exact means for verifying claims of said ancestry shall be worked out between the Cort and the Immigration Minister, with the Cort having final say in case of disputed cases.
PROVISION 3: In the event of multiple applications, the special grant of citizenship may only go to one person; any others will need to apply via the normal rules of naturalization.
PROVISION 4: The Culture Minister shall take appropriate steps to advertise in Berber forums upon the approval of this bill.
is hereby repealed.
FURTHERMORE, be it resolved by the Ziu that it would still be pretty cool if we managed to attract more citizens of North African Berber ancestry

Whereas Senators represent their province and not their party, and
Whereas Senators should be elected on their own merits, now
Therefore Article IV, Section 5 of the OrgLaw, which currently reads: "A political party may endorse a candidate for any vacant Senate seat. In the event that a voter specifies that party as his choice for that Senate seat and the election is conducted by the Chancery, his vote shall be counted for the candidate so endorsed." is hereby repealed.
Furthermore, In the event that a Senatorial election is conducted by the Chancery, votes cast specifically for the cosa elections shall not be counted for Senatorial elections, unless the
provincial legislation of the province represented by the Senator being elected specifically instructs otherwise, as determined by the Chancery.

WHEREAS the organic procedure for submitting bills to be clarked is not very clear, and
WHEREAS Article IX, Section 9 suggests that bills should be submitted to the SoS before the 21st day if the month, and
WHEREAS this is not the way we actually have done it in recent years, and
WHEREAS Article IX, Section 10 does not contain any information that isnt mentioned in other articles of the OrgLaw, and
WHEREAS the current Article IX, Section 6 suggests that proposals may not be submitted to the SoS before spending ten days in the hopper, even when they would have spend ten days in the hopper when the clark is published, and
WHEREAS Article IX, Section 3 states that bills need to be in the hopper ten days before publication in the clark, which seems to contradict section 6 as the publication date is not the date of submission, and
WHEREAS in previous years the chancery has accepted bills for publication when they hadnt spend ten days in the hopper yet, and
WHEREAS this means the chancery may have been acting inorganically in the past few years, and
WHEREAS this is not a very desirable situation, and
WHEREAS the law should reflect the actual procedures, now
THEREFORE Article IX, Section 6 of the Organic Law, which currently reads:
"After his legislative proposal has spent ten days in "The Hopper," the author may submit it.with or without modification or amendment.as a bill to the Secretary of State according to the procedures specified in Article IX: Secs. 8-12. The Secretary of State may, however, refuse to accept the bill if he finds that the bill is so substantially different from its original form as a legislative proposal that it constitutes a significantly different proposal. Upon such a finding, the bill is automatically returned to "The Hopper."
will be amended to read:
"Bills that will be eligible for publication when the next clark is published and have spent at least five days in the hopper may be submitted with or without modification or amendment as a bill to the Secretary of State by the author according to the procedures specified in this article. The Secretary of State may, however, refuse to accept the bill if he finds that the bill is so substantially different from its original form as a legislative proposal that it constitutes a significantly different proposal. Upon such a finding, the bill is automatically returned to "The Hopper." ";
FURTHERMORE Article IX, Section 9, which currently reads:
"Bills shall be submitted before the twenty-first day of the month, to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu. Bills received after the twenty-first day of the month shall be published in the next Clark or postponed for one Clark, at the Secretary of State's discretion."
will be amended to read:
"Bills must be submitted to the Secretary of State more than 24 hours before the publication of the clark. Bills received less than 24 hours before publication of the clark shall be published in the next Clark or postponed for one Clark, at the Secretary of State's discretion.";
FURTHERMORE Article IX, Section 10, which currently reads:
"A bill may be proposed by submitting it to the Secretary of State. A bill thus submitted should be followed by the words "Uréu q'estadra så" (or "Proposed by") and the name of the author(s) and his/their party and home province. The Secretary of State may refuse to accept bills that are not clearly typed or word-processed."
will be repealed.

WHEREAS the Péngöpäts Antarctic Territory "forms an irrevocable part of the national patrimony and shall never be abandoned," and
WHEREAS countless millions of good Talossan penguins have been unfairly disenfranchised these past thirty-one years, and
WHEREAS it's an odd-numbered Cosa, and Péngöpäts provincification bills in odd-numbered Cosas are a Tradition, except for the forty-third Cosa (when we forgot) and the forty-fourth (when we remembered we forgot), and

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby amends Article XVII, section 11 of the Organic Law to read as follows:
Section 11. Talossa's overseas colony, Pengöpäts Antarctic Territory, forms an irrevocable part of the national patrimony and shall never be abandoned. Its area comprises the province of Pengöpäts. This province is forever closed to immigration, but for counting purposes shall be

FURTHERMORE the Ziu hereby amends Article XVII, section 13 of the Organic Law to read as follows:
Section 13. No new province shall be constituted after the adoption of this Organic Law unless said proposed province shall contain a citizenry comprising at least 10 persons, or unless the year is an odd number divisible by sixty-one."

WHEREAS Marti-Pair Furxheir had a good idea, and
WHEREAS it is good to not only encourage another area of Talossan activity, but also to make opportunities for usefulness, and
WHEREAS the overall structure of a future business world can be laid, with care and thoughtfulness, while also providing a service to today's businesses. This service is to provide them with a manner in which they can uniquely appeal to Talossan customers, while at the same time benefiting our country, by delineating a method to certify a business's donations made to the country, and
WHEREAS careful numbering will allow the future substitution and discussion of this act with ease, and thus its appearance, and so much of the wording has been changed from the sources, and
THEREFORE:
1. The Minister of Finance is empowered to create the Bureau of Corporations, which body shall be responsible for the registration of all Talossan corporations and businesses, the enforcement of applicable business laws, and such further tasks as may seem fit by the Ziu. Should and until the Minister of Finance creates such a Bureau, the Minister of Finance shall hold these responsibilities and others listed herein, and execute them to the best of his or her ability.
2. The Bureau of Corporations shall issue licenses in a timely fashion to all those corporations and businesses that apply for one. Application is voluntary and free.
3. The Bureau of Corporations may also register official articles of incorporation for a corporation when applying for a license. Registration of such articles is voluntary and free. A registered corporation need not be registered in any other country. Registered articles shall be considered binding. Registered articles shall be a matter of public record.
4. An application for a business license must include the following information:
The name under which the corporation will do business in Talossa.
The name of the citizen that owns the business and who has applied for registration.
The type of business.
The status of the business, either profit or non-profit.
The name of the business outside of Talossa, if desired.
The articles of incorporation for the business, if applicable.
5. Business licenses shall be issued by the Bureau in a standardized format, including all of the above information, and assigning each business its own official number. This number shall be composed of three digits to indicate the year of registration combined with three digits to indicate the order a business was registered, beginning with 001. For example, a business, registered in 2012/XXXIII, that was the seventh business registered in Talossa, would have the number 033007. Changes to this numbering scheme may be made at the discretion of the Bureau, but are discouraged. Business licenses shall be a matter of public record, and will be made available by the Bureau on request.
6. Talossan businesses may choose to become official Supporters of Talossa. This distinction is achieved when the Bureau certifies that the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue has received a donation of at least 13ℓ from that business. Such a business is entitled to describe itself in advertising as a Supporter of Talossa. The Bureau shall maintain a public list of Supporters of Talossa.
7. A business that advertises itself as a Supporter of Talossa, without having been certified by the Bureau, is in violation of the law. The registered owner of this business shall be subject to a fine of 5ℓ. If a business is not registered, then the individual who produced the advertising shall be subject to this fine, instead.

WHEREAS no citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa currently may hold citizenship in what is legally defined as micronation, and
WHEREAS this policy was enacted to avoid divisive entanglements with what were perceived as "bug nations", but is itself the cause of as much divisiveness as any bug, and
WHEREAS the Kingdom of Talossa should not concern itself with micronations unless they actually pose a threat to Talossa, now
THEREFORE 37RZ2, The What’s The Difference Act, is hereby repealed, but the repeal is not intended to revive any of the statutes repealed by that Act.
FURTHERMORE the Ziu hereby enacts as follows:
1. A micronation is hereby defined for all purposes of Talossan law to be any society of persons (whether claiming territorial sovereignty or not) that
a. claims a governmental organization and citizenry and
b. is not a member of the United Nations and
c. is not a member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization and
d. is not the Kingdom of Talossa, or a subdivision thereof, or officially recognised by the Kingdom of Talossa.
2. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall keep a blacklist of micronations that are considered a threat to the Kingdom of Talossa due to the commission of hostile acts or demonstration of hostile intent against the Kingdom of Talossa. Micronations may be added to or removed from the blacklist by law.[/i]
3. It is a criminal act for any Talossan citizen to knowingly accept or hold citizenship in a blacklisted micronation. The Attorney-General, on being informed of any alleged violation of this act, and upon verifying the same to his personal and legal satisfaction, shall immediately notify the accused that the government has determined that valid cause exists for a criminal case to be brought against the citizen. After providing this notification, the Attorney-General shall allow ten days for the accused to dissolve any and all allegiance to the micronation, or to organize a defence against the charge. If, after this ten day period, the Attorney-General determines that the criminal act yet continues, he shall immediately file criminal charges against the accused. If after this ten day period, the Attorney-General determines that the criminal activity has permanently ceased, or the micronation was removed from the blacklist, he shall not file the considered charges.
4. Non-citizens who would be in violation of section 3 of this Act upon becoming Talossan citizens are not eligible for Talossan citizenship, and the Ministry of Immigration may require prospective Talossan citizens to certify that they are not citizens of any blacklisted micronation.
5. All members of the Ziu, the Cabinet, the Uppermost Court, the Magistrate's Court, the Chancery, or the Royal Treasury must report the following information to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within 15 days of assuming the aforementioned office or of a change in micronational status, whichever is later:
a) All micronations of which he/she is a member.
b) All offices he/she holds in these micronations.
6. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall make any information reported under section 5 available to any Talossan citizen upon request.
7. It is a criminal act for anyone holding an office mentioned in clause 5 of this Act to provide false information about his/her micronational involvement.
8. It is a criminal act for the Minister of Foreign Affairs or the Minister of Defence to seek, accept, or hold citizenship in a micronation.
9. "Citizenship" in a micronation, for the purposes of this act, shall not include "honourary citizenship," where the honourary citizenship:
-does not entitle the honouree to vote in the micronation's elections,
-does not entitle the honouree to hold political, governmental, or administrative office in the micronation,
-does not obligate the honouree, after the grant of honourary citizenship to pay taxes, fees resembling taxes, or membership dues, and
-does not create any continuing obligation or bond of allegiance to the micronation.
10. Commission of any of the criminal acts defined in this Act constitutes a class A misdemeanour for a first offence, and a class I felony for a subsequent offence.

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby amends 39RZ18 to add the following section:
6. In any criminal trial, no sentence of banishment or revocation of citizenship recommended by the Magistrate's Court shall be effective unless approved by a unanimous vote of the Uppermost Cort.

WHEREAS certain laws on the books purport to give individual unelected officials the authority to change duly-enacted statutes, and
WHEREAS this authority is supposed to be limited to such edits as do not affect the "scope" or "intent" of the statutes, but such determinations are subjective and may be abused,
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby:
1. Repeals 31RZ5, The Making Sense Bill, and 31RZ16, The Really Make Sense Act.
2. Amends 35RZ24, The Royal Household Cleaning Act, to delete the words "perform any clerical improvements to the same" from the description of the Scribery of Abbavilla in section 1 of that Act.
3. Directs the Scribe of Abbavilla to maintain all laws in L'Anuntzia dels Legeux, insofar as possible, with the same content that was approved by the Ziu, except that amending acts that refer to section numbers in pre-existing statutes that were changed by the Scribery shall be construed as referring to the equivalent section numbers in the amended statutes as originally enacted.

WHEREAS unlike our larger state counterparts we should never need to employ such illicit tactics, and
WHEREAS it makes me uncomfortable that government spies could be among us now, unbeknownst to the general public, unaccountable to the people, and sanctioned by one individual, and
WHEREAS Talossa is a country that should be built on trust and friendship, and
WHEREAS these particular tactics of espionage hark back to the days of King Robert I, and
WHEREAS it has never been known for us to implement such tactics in modern Talossa before, and we have still managed to effectively catch fraudsters, now
THEREFORE, be it enacted by the Ziu that Clause 2 of 36RZ10 The Anti-Imposter and Liar Act, which reads
Officials of the Kingdom of Talossa who create or use false identities as a means to investigate suspicious citizenship applications or other activities involving fraudulent or misleading identities or statements may, if prosecuted under this act, claim exemption from the provisions of this act by demonstrating that any subterfuge employed met all of the following criteria:
1. Was in response to a suspicious circumstance, as reasonably understood;
2. Was reasonably expected to be effective in uncovering fraud; and,
3. Was used only for a brief time and limited to discovering suspected fraud.
4. Can demonstrate that Prime Minister authorized the subterfuge and that the Minister of Defence and the Uppermost Cort were informed of the subterfuge.
is hereby repealed in full, and replaced with the following text:
Clause 2. Charges brought under this Act shall be heard in the Magistrate's Court, subject to appeal to the Uppermost Cort.
FURTHERMORE, Clause 1 of 36RZ10 is to be amended to read as follows:
Clause 1. Except as provided in Clause 2, Whoever does any of the following is guilty of a crime subject to punishment by banishment, revocation of citizenship, any combination of civil disabilities and any other authorized punishments as described in 35RZ34:
FURTHERMORE, Clause 1.2 is to be amended to read as follows:
Uses another person's identity or uses an identity that creates the impression of another person to post or convey messages via email or on any public forum in the Kingdom of Talossa.

The Share the Cosa Take Two Amendment
WHEREAS Article VIII Section 3 of the Organic Law reads, “Seats won by each party shall be divided by that party among its own members and supporters as it sees fit, with the proviso that each Member of the Cosâ may hold no more than thirty seats”, but
WHEREAS in today’s more populous Talossa, thirty seats is way too many for any one MC to hold, and
WHEREAS in tomorrow's even more populous Talossa, it would be cool (and cool is what we're all about) if the number of seats per MC would maybe drop proportionally, enabling more and more Talossan citizens to become involved in the national government, and
WHEREAS letting the Ziu decide and re-decide things that are worth changing with the times is better than setting them forever in stone in the Organic Law, and
WHEREAS we just spent a couple WHEREAS's showing that this seating thing is just such a "worth changing with the times" kind of thing, now
THEREFORE the Senäts and Cosa hereby approve the following Amendment to the Organic Law, and transmit it to the populace for ratification.
Article VIII Section 3 of the Organic Law is amended to read:
Each party shall assign its seats to such individuals as it sees fit, provided that each such individual is eligible to serve in the Cosa under this article and is assigned a whole number of seats. The Ziu may by law establish a maximum number of seats that any one Member of the Cosa may hold by law, but the minimum number of Members of the Cosa shall be no less than the number of Senators, and the same limit shall apply to all Members of the Cosa, and any changes to the limit shall take effect no earlier than the distribution of seats after the next General Election.
FURTHERMORE, the King, the Senäts, and the Cosa in this present Ziu assembled, hereby enact, effective for the distribution of seats after the ratification and proclamation of the above amendment, that:
No person shall hold more seats in the Cosa than ten times the total number of seats in the Cosa divided by the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next integer.

WHEREAS the timing of the next General Election in the second half of December suggests that one month is not an excessive length of time to conduct an election by absentee ballot (as Talossan elections are); and
WHEREAS a two-week election period will likely have the effect of disenfranchising a significant number of citizens, particularly during unfortunately-timed elections such as the next one, and will also likely have the effect of prematurely terminating citizenships that could have been saved with a longer election period; and
WHEREAS it is possible to retain the benefit of a longer period for organising a new government (which was one of the objectives of 44RZ4) while still having an election period longer than two weeks; and
WHEREAS some uncertainty has been expressed about whether 6RC3, the Vote in Advance Act, could still be in effect; and
WHEREAS 6RC3 is probably the most corrupt piece of legislation ever enacted in the Kingdom of Talossa, and could as well have been titled the “I seriously want to have pocket votes that I can literally keep in my pocket and pull out whenever I need them act”; now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that the following amendment to the Organic Law be recommended to the citizenry for ratification:
Section 3 of Article VII of Organic Law ("Elections to the Cosa"), which currently reads:
All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the dissolution of the prior Cosa until 7:30 p.m. on the first day of the subsequent month. The first day of this period (the fifteenth) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."
is replaced in full by the following text:
All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the first day of the calendar month following the dissolution of the prior Cosa until 11:59 p.m. Talossan time on the last day of that month. The first day of this period (the first) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that 6RC3, the Vote in Advance Act, is hereby formally repealed (even assuming it has any current legal force).

Whereas the Organic Law contradicts itself, and
Whereas according to Article XV amendments require a vote of tho-thirds in the Senäts, and
Whereas according to Article V most amendments only require a majority, with a few exceptions, and
Whereas all amendments to the OrgLaw already need to be passed by a two-thirds majority of the Cosa and a majority of the people in a referendum, and
Whereas this creates enough safeguards against abuse, and
Whereas a very small group of people, potentially representing only a very small part of the citizens should not be able to veto the wishes of a large majority forever, and
Whereas, because of this, Article V is preferable to Article XV, and
Whereas the list of exceptions in Article V does not include the one exception that would make the most sense to protect, the covenant of rights and freedoms, and
Whereas it does include all amendments related to the Senäts, and
Whereas organic articles related to the Senäts contain a number of subjects that could as well be part of statutory law and don’t need to be in the constitution, and
Whereas this amendment solves the conflict between Articles V and XV, now
Therefore, Article V , Section 10 of the OrgLaw, which currently reads:
“Questions arising in the Senäts shall be determined by a majority of votes, and each senator shall have one vote. The Mençéi shall in all cases be entitled to vote; and when the votes are equal the question shall not have passed.”
is amended to read:
“Questions arising in the Senäts shall be determined by a majority of votes, unless otherwise provided in the organic law, and each senator shall have one vote. The Mençéi shall in all cases be entitled to vote; and when the votes are equal the question shall not have passed.”,
Furthermore, Article V, Section 11 of the OrgLaw, which currently reads:
“Section 10 takes precedence over bills requiring two-thirds of the Senäts to vote such as amendment to the organic law, with the exception of:
will be repealed
Furthermore Article XV, Section 1 of the OrgLaw, which currently reads:
“An amendment to the Organic Law may be made by proclamation by the King where so authorized by:
shall be amended to read:
“An amendment to the Organic Law may be made by proclamation by the King where so authorized by:
Furthermore a new section will be added to Article XV of the OrgLaw, after section 2, which will read:
“Section 3: The following bills must always be authorized by a vote of two-thirds in the
Senäts:

WHEREAS last time we proposed this bill it was said by many that there had not been enough time to discuss the subject, and
WHEREAS now we have had almost an entire term to think about it now, so:
WHEREAS there are more Cosa seats than citizens, and
WHEREAS this reduces competition for Cosa seats, and
WHEREAS we need more Talossan citizens who don't hold seats to fill other offices, and
WHEREAS a 200 seat Cosa means we would probably have to wait an eternity for this to be realistic, and
WHEREAS with a smaller Cosa this goal might actually be realistic on the medium long term, but
WHEREAS switching to a 20 seat Cosa now would have some unwanted consequences, and
WHEREAS this compromise leaves smaller parties a better chance of getting back in the Cosa as long as they can get more than one vote than a threshold or a 20 seat Cosa would, and
WHEREAS a 60 seat Cosa is much more proportional than a 20 seat Cosa or a Cosa with a threshold, now
THEREFORE WE, the Ziu, hereby enact the following:
Article VIII, Section 1 of the Organic Law, which previously read: “The Cosâ is composed of 200 seats, apportioned among political parties based on their performance in the General
Election”
Will be amended to read: “The Cosâ is composed of 60 seats, apportioned among political parties based on their performance in the General Election”;
FURTHERMORE:
Article VIII Section 3, which previously read: “Seats won by each party shall be divided by that party among its own members and supporters as it sees fit, with the proviso that each Member of
the Cosâ may hold no more than thirty seats.”
Will be amended to read: “Seats won by each party shall be divided by that party among its own members and supporters as it sees fit, with the proviso that each Member of the Cosâ may hold
no more than nine seats and seats must be assigned as a whole and cannot be divided among multiple MCs." UNLESS "The Share the Cosa Take Two Amendment" is approved in a
referendum at the same date as this amendment, in which case the Share the Cosa Take Two Amendment takes precedence regarding Article VIII, section 3"
