WHEREAS, democracy in itself allows people on different sides of the political spectrum to voice their opinion, and

WHEREAS, these opinions therefore can be totally opposite of ones own, and

WHEREAS, most people shrug those off as merely being opinions of loonies, and

WHEREAS, unfortunatly these same opinions provoke a lot of aggression in some other people, and

WHEREAS, bottling up of aggression is very unhealthy and potentially dangerous, and

WHEREAS, the offending party can hardly object to a weapon they themselves use at occasion;

THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby grants to any irritated citizens, a full and complete Royal pardon (with the King's blessing, of course) for any Crust Cremâ Crapadâ (whipped cream pie) thrust into the face of any anti-war demonstrator. If the demonstrators complain about this, take action to protect themselves, or resist the Crust Cremâ Crapadâ maneuvre in any way, it will show their complete and bald-faced hypocrisy to the world. If they meekly submit to the maneuvre it will show the purity of their cause.

WHEREAS, current immmigration law makes it hard for individuals to join Talossa; and

WHEREAS, current immigration prevents the removal of persons who prove themselves undesirable, except as punishment following conviction of a major crime; and

WHEREAS, defining the word "prospective" is difficult, as there is currently no exact moment at which an individual becomes a prospective;

THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby resolves:

1. To implement a temporary Immigration system until publication of the second clark of the 33nd Cosâ, or the approval of 5 permanent residents (or more than that if there is more than just the 5th person on his particular Clark), whichever comes first, as follows:

2. The immigration system is now divided into three distinct steps :

a) - Becoming a prospective:

In order to become a prospective, a person needs to submit to the Immigration Minister the online MC95a form ( http://talossa.net/immigration/mc95a.php ) and a picture ID. Upon verification and approval, the Immigration Minister sends a formal, public notice establishing the person as a prospective.

Rights of a Prospective : The prospective is allowed to post on Wittenberg and otherwise interact with the Talossan population. Unless otherwise autorized, he is not allowed to create web pages or publications about Talossa.

b) - Becoming a permanent resident:

Upon delivery of his biography and "What Talossa Means to Me" essay, the Immigration Minister shall move a bill in the Ziu to grant Permanent Resident status to the Prospective. Said status shall be adopted by a two-thirds vote in the Cosâ with the simple majority of the Senäts and the approval of the King.
Upon approval, the Permanent Resident possesses all the rights of a citizen, except actual citizenship, the ability to vote and the right to become Prime-Minister, Deputy Prime-Minister, Minister of Immigration, Secretary of State, Senator, Regent or Monarch. If refused, the individual is no longer considered a Prospective, until reactivated by the Ziu (by majority vote) or a Prime Dictate.

c) - Becoming a citizen:

Within six months a Permanent Resident must completed the citizenship procedure by reading Ár Päts, answering the Civics Test succesfully, and responding to questions the Uppermost Cort shall see fit to ask him.

Once the 6 month period as expired and the resident as completed the citizenship procedures, The Cort may approve or deny the Permanent Resident's application for citizenship. Alternatively, the cort may extend Permanent Resident status for intervals of up to six months (as defined above).


The Cort may, at any time, revoke the Permanent Resident status of any individual.

Once the Cort approves the application of an individual for Citizenship, the individual becomes a Citizen with full and inalienable civil rights under the Organic Law.

3. If this law is repealed, or is not renewed after its expiration, propectives will have to follow rules set prior to passing of this law, or in effect after this law; However, residents not yet approved as citizens will have to follow this law unless allowed otherwise by the Ziu.
