Kingdom of Talossa's Population exceeds 100!

Two applicants were formally admitted to citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa this morning, bringing Talossa's population into triple digits for the first time in her nearly 28-year history. Talossa currently has 101 citizens, with Vince Whitacre of Maricopa Province becoming the 100th citizen and Edward Wadas of Mussolini Province becoming number 101.

According to Chancery (office of the Secretary of State) records, 206 people have held Talossan citizenship since the Kingdom's founding in 1979. Of these, 101 are currently citizens, at least three are deceased, and the other 102 lost their citizenship due to inactivity or renunciation. Four more prospective citizens are currently in the immigration pipeline, but an election starting next month is expected to claim as many as a dozen older citizens through the operation of Talossa's "three strikes" law, which terminates the citizenship of those who fail to vote in three consecutive general elections.

Talossn Language Authority celebrates its 24th Anniversary

-- Talossan News Syndicate

La Comità për l'Útzil del Glheþ (the Committee for the Use of the Language), the traditional Talossan language authority, celebrated its 24th anniversary yesterday. The CÚG was founded by King Robert I of Talossa on 14 November 1983, nearly three years after the first use of the language itself. Since that time, the CÚG has guided the course of the Talossan language through its Arestadâs, official pronouncements of the decisions of the Comità regarding matters of grammar, vocabulary, and good style in writing and speaking the language. The CÚG plans to begin its 25th year with the issue of the first Arestadâ in several years, which will substantially regularise and simplify Talossan orthography. Specific proposals to be incorporated into the Arestadâ are being discussed on the CÚG forum.
