WHEREAS it is known that, especially the United States and Great Britain, are slowly building totalitarian surveillance society; and,
WHEREAS we also realise that the British Schedule 7 acts to diminish freedom of speech and journalists' activities in the Commonwealth; and,
WHEREAS the European yes-politicians are meek in face of the United States due to self-interest; and,
WHEREAS it is also known that the privacy of correspondence, post and telecommunications laws of Germany have been deliberately tweaked in order to allow the United States an easier access thereunto; now,

THEREFORE the Ziu, and verily, the whole nation of Talossa, in face of their powerlessness, fiercely condemn these states and the European Parliament for their perjury to avert damages from the people they represent.
We are aghast that these politicians should be furthering contracts as "Safe Harbour", "TTIP" and the like to circumvent privacy protection guidelines and laws of the European Union, and that they should acquiesce to the surrender of privacy and freedom of speech out of cowardice and accommodativeness.

FURTHERMORE the nation expresses its spiritual succour to the Whistleblower Edward Snowden who is "trapped" in Russia, to Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange who is confined in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, to journalist David Miranda who was forced to cooperate with the police at the Londoner Airport, without the right to a counsel or the right to remain silent for nine hours under Schedule 7, and all the other journalists that cannot return to Great Britain due to Schedule 7, a tool to deprive the British people of their Constitutional Rights disguised as an anti-terror statute.

MOREOVER the nation asks the Ziu and the Senate to consider giving to Edward Snowden the Senatorial Medal of Honour, for his outstanding service to humanity and for his courage to step forward and peril his life for his cause.

WHEREAS the Ziu holds that it is detrimental to Talossa's justice system that courts are allowed not to give reason for dismissal of an appeal and not to react at all, and;
WHEREAS this endangers the course of a fair trial, and;
WHEREAS we want everybody to get a fair trial, and;
WHEREAS the Uppermost Court must, under Org.XVI.6., already supply plaintiffs with a written statement as to why it does not want to hear a case, and that other courts need not seems insensible, now;

THEREFORE the Ziu enacts:

that a new subsubsection shall be created in Title D, Section 2, Subsection 5 of the Lexhatx, reading:

2.5.1. The Ministry of Justice is solemnly charged with monitoring the justice system. This duty shall include, but not be limited to, the following tasks:
    2.5.1.1. The Ministry of Justice shall make freely and publicly available to citizens a procedure by which they may securely and easily report the wrongful actions or failure to act of a judge or other officers of the courts.
    2.5.1.2. The Ministry of Justice shall keep records of these reports, and investigate those that seem credible in the Ministry's best judgement. The Ministry shall report the results of its investigations and its recommendations to the Ziu, as it sees fit to do so.
    2.5.1.3. The Ministry of Justice must respond to every complainant with the result of any investigations, notification of any action, or an explanation of inaction. Should the Ministry refuse to carry out an investigation, it must supply the complainant with a written justification of its decision.
    2.5.1.4. The Ministry of Justice need not wait for a complaint in order to carry out such an investigation, but may initiate this scrutiny on its own, where it seems necessary.

and FURTHERMORE title G, section 4, subsection 2 of the Lexhatx shall be changed followingly:

4.2., which currently reads:
Appeals or other actions brought before the Uppermost Cort shall be heard within 90 calendar days from the date of assignment by the Clerk of Courts. Should this time elapse and no decision be rendered as to whether the Uppermost Cort will hear the matter brought before it, the court will have implied unwillingness to hear the case and the decision of the lower court shall be upheld without prejudice. Parties may then re-file their appeal a final time after waiting an additional 90 days. If the court declines to hear, or fails to respond within 90 days, the decision of the lower court shall be upheld and no further appeal shall be permitted.

shall henceforth read:

4.2. Appeals or other actions brought before any national court shall be heard within 90 calendar days from the date of assignment by the Clerk of Courts.
    4.2.1. The court, if it decides not to hear the case or appeal, shall issue a written statement justifying its decision within the time frame given in 4.2.
    4.2.2. If a court does not comply with 4.2. or 4.2.1., it may be subject to an investigation for non-feasance conducted by the Ministry of Justice."

WHEREAS the process of appeals is a way for plaintiff and accused to protect themselves of unjust trials; and,
WHEREAS we want not to infringe upon this right to appeal, or to strike fear that the result might be worse when appealed; now,

THEREFORE know all citaxhiens by these present, that Title G, Section 4 of the Lexhatx shall be changed as follows:

A new subsection 4.3. shall be created after G.4.2., reading:

4.3. Under the principle of reformatio in peius, the worsening change of a verdict, no appellate court shall be allowed to change an appealed ruling in such a manner that would be disadvantageous to the petitioner.
4.3.1. In civil actions, appeals may be ruled in a detrimental manner to the appellant (reformationes in peius) only when both parties submit appeals.
4.3.2. In criminal procedures, reformationes in peius are forbidden whenever the appeal is lodged by the convict or in favour of the convict. In case of appeals from both parties, reformationes in peius detrimental to the convict shall be forbidden.

WHEREAS Talossa has a very rich culture and an even wealthier heritage that no person can deny; and,
WHEREAS we seem not to cherish this and scream it out loud, so that it appears easy to deny our rich culture nonetheless; and,
WHEREAS we have the devil of a funny bone; and,
WHEREAS screw that, let's get crazy!

WHOOOOOHOOOOO.
What? Wrong place? Meh... now;

THEREFORE the Ziu establishes the Bureau of Talossanity (Óifisch dallas Umas), under the control of the Ministry of Culture, with following task:
- to excogitate options to promote Talossan culture outside of Talossa and implement them; and,
- to appoint authorised "virtual ambassadors", to be called Salviour da l'Înterriét, who shall execute the implementation on various web sites, such as reddit, facebook, twitter and any other social media it sees fit

Accordingly, a new subsubsection D.2.7.3. shall be created in the Lexhatx, stating:

WHEREAS the Organic Law, and especially, the Covenant of Rights have been designed for the protection of the people against the state and other people; and,
WHEREAS it seems to be against any humanitarian reason that the Covenants are only guaranteed to Citizens of Talossa, but not eventual refugees we might get, or tourists, prospectives, or visitors; and,
WHEREAS I would like to think that we have no policy of Guantánamobaying non-Talossan citizens when they commit any crime; now

THEREFORE the Ziu approves that the following changes to the Organic Law's Covenant of Rights be commended to the citizenry for ratification:

- THE PREAMBLE, which currently reads:
The Covenant of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in them to all Talossan citizens, subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. These Covenants shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Talossan custom and tradition, and with the aim in mind of preserving and enhancing the ethnic heritage of the Talossan nation and the peace, order, and good government for the Kingdom of Talossa.

shall be amended to read:

The Covenant of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in them to every person, subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. These Covenants shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Talossan custom and tradition, and with the aim in mind of preserving and enhancing the ethnic heritage of the Talossan nation and the peace, order, and good government for the Kingdom of Talossa.

- THE THIRD COVENANT, which currently reads:
Talossans have the right to peaceful assembly whether in private facilities or in the open air, provided that such assembly neither disrupts traffic or legal commercial activity, or unduly inconveniences people. Talossans have the right to freely organize political parties and other organizations, subject to their own laws of membership, and this right may not be abridged except with regards to organizations which advocate the use of violence or intimidation to attain political or other ends, or which seek to restrain any person or group of people from the exercise of their rights as granted under these Covenants.

shall be amended to read:

Every person has the right to peaceful assembly, whether in private facilities or in the open air, provided that such assembly neither disrupts traffic or legal commercial activity, nor unduly inconveniences people. Every person has the right to freely organise any kinds of organisations, subject to their own laws of membership, and this right may not be abridged except with regards to organisations which advocate the use of violence or intimidation to attain political or other ends, or which seek to restrain any person or group of people from the exercise of their rights as granted under these Covenants, or organisations that are otherwise anti-organic. However, political parties may only be registered and headed by Talossan citizens, in order to preserve the political power vested in the people of Talossa. Notwithstanding this limitation for the political parties, political parties are subject to their own laws of membership.

- THE FOURTH COVENANT, which currently reads:
Under the principle that "A Man's Room is His Kingdom," the right of the people to privacy and security in their persons, homes, papers, correspondence, and property, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended. No person may be arrested or detained without a warrant issued by a judge, except in cases of flagrante delicto. No warrants shall be issued except on probable cause, and must particularly describe the place to be searched and the person or things to be seized. The right to privacy for public figures must be balanced by the public's right to know, in matters affecting politics, elections, campaigns, and governing. The intentional withholding of political information which reasonable voters might find helpful, profitable, or informative, violates the public's right to know.

shall be amended to read:

Under the principle that "A Man's Room is His Kingdom," any person's right to privacy and security in their persons, homes, papers, correspondence, and property, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended. No person may be arrested or detained without a warrant issued by a judge, except in cases of flagrante delicto. No warrants shall be issued except on probable cause, and must particularly describe the place to be searched and the person or things to be seized. The right to privacy for public figures must be balanced by the public's right to know, in matters affecting politics, elections, campaigns, and governing. The intentional withholding of political information which reasonable voters might find helpful, profitable, or informative, violates the public's right to know.

- THE FIFTH COVENANT, which currently reads:
Any person charged with an offence shall be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and has the right to request information on his legal rights. No accused person shall be twice put in jeopardy of life, liberty, or property for the same offence, or without due process of law; nor shall any citizen be compelled in any criminal case to bear witness against himself. Excessive fines, and cruel and bizarre punishments, shall not be inflicted.

shall be amended to read:

Any person charged with an offence shall be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and has the right to request information on his legal rights. No accused person shall be twice put in jeopardy of life, liberty, or property for the same offence, or without due process of law; nor shall any person be compelled in any criminal case to bear witness against himself. Excessive fines, and cruel and bizarre punishments, shall not be inflicted.

- THE SEVENTH COVENANT, which currently reads:
No person shall be found guilty on account of any act or omission, unless, at the time of the act or omission, it constituted an offence under Talossan or international law, or was criminal according to the general principles of law recognized by the community of civilized nations, as interpreted by Talossan courts in line with Talossan traditions and needs.

will be amended to read followingly, because international law does not apply to Talossa and convicting someone in a Talossan court of law because Lala-Land prohibits dancing with your shoes on is not cool:

No person shall be found guilty on account of any act or omission, unless, at the time of the act or omission, it constituted an offence under Talossan law, or under an international law recognised by the Kingdom of Talossa, or was criminal according to the general principles of law recognised by the community of civilized nations, as interpreted by Talossan courts in line with Talossan traditions and needs.

- THE EIGHTH COVENANT, which currently reads:
Talossa shall never tax nor purport to tax, unduly burden, outlaw or abridge for its citizens any right to acts of: peaceful assembly; religious worship or affiliation; political speech or expression or affiliation; religious or historical or scientific or philosophical belief; abortion (being the freely conscious ability for a woman to make a determination on the continuation of her pregnancy); consensual sexual activity (between two consenting people of an age of responsibility); contraception; marriage (between consenting adults regardless of their sex, unless they are consanguineous up to the fourth degree of relationship), civil unions (and equivalents); divorce; adoption; advance health care directives; attempted suicide; euthanasia; the reading of any book; and the writing or use of any language. Neither shall any person be made to answer in any Talossan court for the alleged, admitted, or actual violation of any foreign law restricting or denying any right to or forbidding any act enumerated above.

shall be amended to read:

Talossa shall never tax nor purport to tax, unduly burden, outlaw or abridge for any person any right to acts of: peaceful assembly; religious worship or affiliation; political speech; religious or historical or scientific or philosophical belief; abortion (being the freely conscious ability for a woman to make a determination on the continuation of her pregnancy); consensual sexual activity (between two consenting people of an age of responsibility); contraception; marriage (between consenting adults regardless of their sex, unless they are consanguineous up to the fourth degree of relationship), civil unions (and equivalents); divorce; adoption; advance health care directives; attempted suicide; euthanasia; the reading of any book; and the writing or use of any language. The rights to political expression or affiliation, additionally, shall be held by Talossan citizens, and these rights are not to be taxed, nor purported to tax, unduly burdened, outlawed or abridged. Neither shall any person be made to answer in any Talossan court for the alleged, admitted, or actual violation of any foreign law restricting or denying any right to or forbidding any act enumerated above.

WHEREAS the current "3 strikes" provision of OrgLaw XVIII, 10, whereby a citizen loses their citizenship on not voting in three consecutive elections, is a form of compulsory voting;

If any citizen should fail to vote in an election for the Cosa, he shall be deemed to have incurred a "strike", unless the Secretary of State believes that the failure to vote may have been unintentional, or the King believes that the citizen's record and the circumstances of his failure to vote warrant an exception being made, in either of which cases no strike shall be incurred. If any citizen incurs strikes in three consecutive elections, he shall be deemed to have renounced his citizenship.

shall be replaced in its entirety by:

"Any citizen who neither votes in any general election nor responds to any national census established by law for a period of two years, as calculated at any Election Deadline, shall be deemed to have renounced his citizenship."

WHEREAS it seems naturally just that a former citizen, who will be known to many current citizens, should not have to go through the same exacting process for restoring citizenship as brand new citizens;

BE IT ENACTED by the Ziu of Talossa, to be endorsed by the people in referendum, that the Organic Law, XVIII, 11, which currently reads:

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.

WHEREAS it is a principle of the current Government that bureaucracy should be minimised;

2.7.2. The Büreu del Glheþ Talossán (Language Bureau), administered by the Ladintsch Naziunál. 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 Naziunál.

WHEREAS Talossa wants coins as a symbol of the nation, and

WHEREAS the laws of the United States prohibit the making,
uttering, or passing any coins of any metal or alloys of metals, even
of original design, intended for use as current money, and

WHEREAS the Talossan responsible for producing the coins is
resident in the United States and would like to be in compliance with
that law, now

THEREFORE we, the Ziu, hereby enact the following replacements
for subsections 1 through 7 of Title C, Section 7 of the Lexhatx:

7.1. Base Unit of Account. The base unit of account for the Kingdom of
Talossa is hereby established and styled the "BENT." The plural of the
bent is "BENCE." Convenient shortenings such as "tubbence" and
"thrubbence" shall be understood and recognised by the government, and
may appear on collectable tokens (colloquially "coinage", though they
shall not constitute current money). This unit of account is fixed to
$0.025 in the currency of the United States of America.

7.2. Second Unit of Account. A second unit of account, which shall
have the fixed denomination of sixty (60) bence, is hereby established
and styled the "LOUIS," which shall also be officially recognised by
the shortened name "LOU." The plural of the lou is "LOUISE."
Convenient colloqualisms for the denominations of louise are
encouraged, specifically "Brock" for a single lou, "Costello" for five
louise, "Ferrigno" for ten louise, "Rawls" for twenty louise, and so
forth.

7.2.1. The commonly-used symbols ℓ and ¤ shall be officially adopted
for the louis and bent, respectively, and these symbols shall be used
in accordance with common practice: ¤ to be used as a separator of the
two denominations, with louise on the left of the symbol and bence on
the right; ℓ may also be used to indicate amounts in whole louise, by
placing the symbol to the left of the amount.

7.3. Creation and Issuance of Collectable Tokens. The Royal Bank &
Post is exclusively authorised to design, cause to be created, issue,
and distribute collectable tokens (colloquially "coinage", though they
shall not constitute current money) in any denomination of whole
bence. The Royal Bank & Post is authorised to imprint the denomination
of any coinage with its price in louise, rather than in bence, as it
sees fit.

7.3.1 Current Token Design. The first issue of Talossan collectable
tokens ("coins") shall have, on the obverse, the Chinese character
"ben" upon a shield, with a crown above the shield; above the crown
shall be the curved inscription "REGIPÄTS TALOSSÁN", and below the
shield shall be the curved inscription of the year of issue (both the
Common Era in Arabic numerals and the year of the Kingdom of Talossa
in Roman numerals). On the reverse shall be an image of a dandelion,
a large "ℓ1", and the inscription "VIENS LUÏÇ".

7.4. Talossan Currency. The currency of the Kingdom of Talossa shall
be beer, which has been, and continues to be, thankfully and
conveniently distributed worldwide.

7.5 Provisions Against Counterfeit Currency. The Royal Bank & Post
shall take care to be clear that non-alcoholic "beer" is, in fact, not
beer at all, and thus is not currency. Official terminology is hereby
established that counterfeit currency denominated in louise are to be
called "Alcindors" and counterfeit currency demoninated in bence are
to be called "Afflecks" or "Hills."

7.6. Distribution and Redemption of Currency. Talossan currency shall
be distributed in exchange for foreign currency, and may be redeemed
for the same with the Royal Bank & Post according to policies of
exchange to be established by that body.

7.7. Consular Exchange of Currency. Consulates of the Kindom of
Talossa may be established at any establishment applying to become a
consulate and wishing to exchange local currency for quantities of
Talossan currency. Such application shall be made to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, which shall consult with the Royal Bank & Post before
establishing any new consulate. The Kingdom shall provide a plaque or
other sign to the establishment, which shall identify it as a
consulate of the Kingdom of Talossa.
