A PETITION TO THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES

GIVEN THAT active and exciting provincial government is an important part of the democratic structure of our Republic, forming a healthy counterbalance to the power of the Federal government, and:

GIVEN THAT even more than that, active provincial politics, government and culture add to the enjoyability of Talossan citizenship, and hence to our attractiveness to new citizens;

GIVEN THAT increasing immigration and breathing new life into democracy are both policy goals of the Government of the Republic, and:

GIVEN THAT, since the Revolution of Calondâ Gün, only Cézembre and Maricopa out of the five Republican provinces have adopted a constitution, and of the others only Florenciâ shows any signs of cultural life;

We, the undersigned citizens of the Provinces of Maricopa, Port Maxhestic and Maritiimi, do hereby petition the Chamber of Deputies of the Talossan Republic, under the Constitution of the Republic I.3.5, that the Parlamînt of the Republic adopt legislation, to the effect that the provinces of Maricopa, Maritiimi and Pôrt Maxhéstic shall be combined into a single province, under the existing Constitution of the Province of Maricopa.
