New SoS for the RT

Mick Preston, Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Talossa since April of 2007, announced his retirement from that post yesterday.

In his announcement (his last pronouncement as SoS), Preston said that "[he] stood on the shoulders of giants," and that his tenure in the office was "a great time," before stamping the seal of the Chancery, ending an era of Talossan statecraft.

Many Talossans, including Seneschal Alexander Davis, expressed their thanks and best wishes for his fulfilment of one of the most taxing and important offices of state.

Prime Minister Davis today appointed Preston's successor in the rôle: Distain Iustì Carlüs Canun.

New Prüm Citaxhiên for the Republic

Miestrâ Patricâsëfiglhâ Schivâ has been elected the new Prüm Citaxhiên of the Talossan Republic, taking over from the incumbent, Txec Danihél Dàl Már.

With a clear mandate of 61.5% of the electorate, Schivâ promises "a program for ACTION," and hopes to rejuvenate the Republic's community by reaching out to and surveying the citizenry on their vision for Talossa. Second in the election race was Gödafrïeu Válcadác'h, who stood on a less ambitious platform and gained 30.8% of the vote. D.N. Vercariâ, a former Prüm Citaxhiên, came third with 7.7%.

D:na Schivâ is expected to address a joint session of Parlamînt outlining her programme.

The results of latest constitutional amendment were also revealed today. The amendment, which alters the power of all branches of the Republic's government was approved by the people by a large majority of 91%.

Cézembrians consider amendments

The Sénéchal of Cézembre, Tycho van Die has proposed an amendment to the province's constitution. Entitled C2, the amendment notably simplifies the provincial legislature by abolishing the tiered membership system and introducing a fixed number of seats.

Developed by Premier van Die and Litz Cjantscheir, a prominent Cézembrienne, the amendment proposes the d'Hont Method of proportional representation for the assignment of seats in the 20-seat États.

Other changes made by the amendment include a clause explicitly requesting that the Chancery conduct provincial elections, and the provision that "one seat cannot be divided among nor assigned to more than one citizen."
