> The International Fixed Calendar would be uniquely Talossan in that we would be the only country to use it and the only country that is in the unique position to be able to adopt it. This calendar offers definite advantages that will benefit our citizens in the future.
Advantages such as..? If there are definite advantages, then I'm all about hearing them. But so far as I can see, you've outlined no real, tangible, concrete advantage for the adoption of the International Fixed Calendar.
> Show me when the Government of Talossa in any official capacity has dealt with the United States or any other entity that is not or another micronation. Our citizens live their macronational lives in their macronations. The virtue of that does not mean that Talossa has had relations with their respective macronations or other entities. This is an important distinction to maintain. What our citizens do does not equate to what Talossa does.

> Whether or not you are preternaturally lazy does not mean that this is not a better calendar that will benefit Talossans. This is the type of thinking that I am specifically addressing in Progress and Change.
Ok, so the government of Talossa has not had truck with the macronational world. But that doesn't change the fact that we live in a macronational world. Should we ask our citizens to translate dates continually in order to participate in Talossa? I'd say, only for a very good reason! Reasons that have yet to be provided.
> The time will come when the Senat shall rise. It is not dead, so lets not chop its head off quite yet. Aggressive and tempered immigration measures can help correct this.
Why do we have one? Whats the need for a bicameral legislature, if not to provide voices to disparate corporations (The people in one case, the provinces in the other)? Do the provinces, as bodies in themselves, have a vested interest in the way Talossa is run? I dont honestly think so, nor do I think we will develope to any such point in the near future. Most provinces, even those of significant size, lack any sort of basic institution! Putting more strain on manpower, since the C.O.D. will grow as the Republic does, unnecessarily, isn't healthy micronationalism. LEts vest the power in on parliament accountable to the people and bring extra infrastructure in only when there is a demonstrated need for it.
