Citizen #22:
Miestrā Schivā | No changes have been made except to insert a description of a coat of arms (which I confess myself incapable of designing - anyone want to give it a go?) and a declaration that the case and statute law of the Kingdom still serve as legal precedent until we overturn them.
PLEASE NOTE: We still have no description of where the provincial boundaries are. I don't think it vitally matters at this stage: if anyone brings it up in Court, we can refer to the precedents of Kingdom law.

ARTICLE NINE: POINTS OF STATE
1. The name of the State, in the national language, is la Repśblicā Talossįn. In English, the name of the State is The Republic of Talossa.
2. The Republic of Talossa is a democratic, secular and social federal state. All state authority emanates from the people. The population, by means of elections, exercises this authority.
3. a) The Republic of Talossa shall be composed of those provinces of the Kingdom of Talossa known as Cézembre, Florenciā, Maricopa, Maritiimi, and Pórt Maxhetic.
b) The Republic of Talossa hereby claims as a part of her territory the villages of Shorewood and Whitefish Bay, both formerly of the State of Wisconsin in the United States of America and formerly claimed by the Kingdom of Talossa as well as the entirety of the census tracts of the United States of America which encompass those parts of the City of Milwaukee west of points equidistant between the banks of the Milwaukee River, east of points equidistant between the curbs of United States Interstates 43 and 94, north of points equidistant between the banks of the Menomonee Rover, all portions of the City of Milwaukee south of the village of Glendale, the village of Glendale itself, the campus of Cardinal Stritch College, and the campus of Marquette University.
c) The Republic of Talossa lays no claim to those provinces of the Kingdom of Talossa known as Atatürk, Mussolini, and Vuode as well as the Territory of Pengöpäts.
4. The National Flag of Talossa is the green and red vertical bicolour with four stars arranged in a diamond in the center of the flag. The green stands for democracy and its virtue; the red for the people and their tenacity. The four stars stand for the four initial provinces that have seceded from the Kingdom of Talossa.
5. The Coat of Arms of Talossa shall exist in two forms: the Lesser State Arms and the Greater State Arms. The Lesser State Arms is an oval shield, long axis vertical, divided vertically in green and red halves, bearing four stars arranged in a diamond in the center. The Greater State Arms consists of the Lesser State Arms with two squirrels as supporters, and as base a scroll bearing the legend "AUDE ALIQUID DIGNUM." Either form of the Coat of Arms of Talossa
may be used for official and patriotic purposes.
6. The official motto of the Republic shall be Aude Aliquid Dignum"; in the national language, "Defisetz Qualse'cosā Denā"; in English, "Dare Something Worthy".
7. The national language shall be the Talossan language. The Talossan language (in Talossan: el glhež) shall be preserved in its grammatical form at the time of the establishment of the Republic. English shall be permissible as a useful second language.
8. The capital of the Republic is the Mitchell Building, Pórt Maxhestic Province.
9. The political parties of the Republic participate in the formation of the political spirit of the people. Their internal organization must conform to democratic ethics. They must openly report their finances.
10. Parties that seek to harm or destroy the free democratic basic order or to imperil the survival of the Republic are unconstitutional.
11. The civil officials are servants of the whole community. To all civil officials freedom of political opinion and of association are assured.
12. If a civil official in the exercise of the authority conferred upon him or her by law fails to perform his or her official duty, the accountability is assumed by the province or public corporation in whose service the official is.
13. The general regulations of public international law form part of Republic law. They take priority over the laws of the Republic. Actions undertaken with the aim of disturbing peaceful associations between nations are unconstitutional.
14. Colonial policy is exclusively a function of the Republic.
15. This Constitution shall be the supreme law of the Republic. All laws which contradict this Constitution are invalid to the extent of that contradiction.
16. The case and statute law of the Kingdom of Talossa shall serve as legal precedent in the Republic, unless and until overturned by this Constitution or by future acts of Parlamīnt.

"Now I'm liberal, but to a degree; I think everybody should be free, but if you think I'm going to let Barry Goldwater move in next door or marry my daughter, you must think I'm crazy! I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba!"
