Exit Poll Results!

Breaking News


The Exit Poll has closed.
The question asked to voters was:

'How did you vote in the current election for the Chamber of Deputies?'

Citaxhien can now predict that ALL THREE CANDIDATES WILL BE ELECTED TO THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, EACH WITH A COMFORTABLE YES/NO RATIO

Poll Confidence: 80%

Margin of error: Small

N.B - this is only a prediction. Exit polls always contain a margin of error

Co-operative Party Campaign Video!

A short clip to promote the Co-operative party in the current Election:

Election Time!

The Chamber of Deputies election is now in full swing, but with only three candidates standing; two from the Federalist Party and one from the Co-operative Party. That’s just enough to keep the chamber alive, if all are approved by the electorate, that is.

The Secretary of State has opened up an election debate discussion thread (which can be found here) for queries and answers from citizens and candidates. The election is due to close on January 30^th.

One of the hottest topics so far on the board has been that of immigration, and how to solve the problem and various suggestions have arisen. The Co-operative Party have suggested that the government should play a major role in encouraging new citizens to join, while the Federalist’s have are convinced more can be done by the citizen.

Citizens eligible to vote will have received instructions on how to do so. Citizens have been speculating on a high voter turn out, after seeing ticket numbers (receipts given to voters) on completion of voting.

Please Note:

There will be a lack of posting on Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th January, due to the editor taking exams. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
There will be a full election analysis later in the week.

Talossa gears up for election

Election-mania is hitting Talossa this week with the anticipated election for the 13th Chamber of Deputies  expected within the next few days. Nominations for candidates are being accepted until Friday 14th January. But the excitement is not shared by all, the Prime Minister is sceptical of being able to achieve a full chamber again this year, and it looks increasingly likely that there will, again to vacant seats. The issue of vacant seats in the chamber has highlighted the need for higher immigration into the Talossan republic, a need which both the Co-operative and Federalist parties have highlighted as key goals in their campaigns.

Chamber of Deputies Dissolved!

BREAKING NEWS
The President of the Talossan Republic has dissolved the Twelfth Chamber of Deputies, ahead of schedule, and an election will soon be sought after.

President: 

 I hereby charge the Secretary of State, pursuant to Constitution II.1.5 and all applicable law, to commence preparations to elect the Thirteenth Chamber of Deputies.

Constitutional Referenda - January 2011

Secretary of State Ián Anglatzarâ has opened up a referendum to Talossan citizens to decide whether to amend the Constitution of the Republic of Talossa on three points.

1. The Provincial Post and Telecommunications Act
2. The Joint Session Amendment
3. The Provincial-Federal Legislation Bill

The referendum will close in two weeks time on January 19th.

Changes to schedule and additional information

The schedule of broadcasts for Citaxhien has changed slightly, at least in principle. The original idea was to designate a weekly day for a whole set of articles to be released, hence having release dates. This has now changed, there will be no weekly release dates, but a constant stream (or trickle at quieter times) of articles every day, or almost every day. We believe that this will provide readers with the latest up to date news and developments as they happen, and also to reduce read loads on the release dates. We hope this is a better system, but if it doesn't work out, it can always be altered in the future.

Media Incentive Bill open's up new horizons for Citaxhien

A media incentive bill was announced by 

C. Carlüs Xheráltsëfiglheu Seneschal es Dude last week, marking a turning point in allowing new media, such as the Citaxhien to progress in their early stages. The bill includes introducing links to Talossan newspapers on the National Website (talossa.org) which would inevetibly increase traffic to them, and hopefully the readership.

Party Support

Just days after launching, Citaxhien has already placed favour on a political party, which also, coincidently, is just days old. The news came to light when Citaxhien editor, Jum Txec announced that he intended to stand in the February election as a Co-operative party candidate.

The Co-operative party is the newest of parties in the Talossan republic, and prides itself on giving Talossa a fresh and innovative direction, while already working on the foundations and processes already in action. The Co-operative party has made it clear that it is, and always will be, willing to work with other political parties in Talossa to achieve a common vision of a strong Talossa. This new party emphasises the achievements many can earn through working together, alongside sole progress, and putting the Citizen first.

First Post Of Citaxhien

Citaxhien (English - 'Citizen') is a new newspaper that has just launched to serve the community of the Talossan republic. Citaxhien uses a blog style format for ease of use and accessibility.
During the next few weeks, Citaxhien will trial a few articles before an official launch (date yet to be announced), after which posting of articles will become much more regular, and the look and feel of the blog will become much more user friendly and presentable.
On the whole, as a newspaper, Citaxhien is a project set up and run mainly by Jum Txec, an ordinary member of the Talossan community, to provide a central information access point, where any member of the Republic of Talossa can access up to date information about whats going on in the Micronation. During busy times of the calender, such as elections, articles will be posted more frequently and include detailed analysis and opinions from various sources to try and build and scope. During quiet times of the Talossan calender, 'feature' artciles will be posted, which may include more light hearted, random or non-importand subjects.
One of the main priorities of Citaxhien is to provide citizens with the oppertunity to get involved by posting their own views and opinons, and writing their own articles about subjects that interest them. More on this scheme in the near future.
I hope that you will enjoy Citaxhien as much as I do, and I look forward to seeing articles submitted from various members in the near future.
Citaxhien will be presented in a rough 'Tabloid' style format, and articles will not be excessively long, but rather straight to the point and informative, although feature articles may be very extended. Images and quotations will be used liberally.
Citaxhien will support other Talossan newspapers and provide links to them for the conveniance of users. We want to promote a healthy competition, giving the consumer choice and quality when accessing their news.
Citaxhien is, and always will be, absolutely free for anyone to access.
Criticism (both constructive and non-constructive) will always be accepted by Citaxhien.
Citaxhien wants to build on the friendly community of the Talossan republic, and any articles submitted for publication will have to pass through a quick check as follows:

- Articles must contain no discriminative language or cause any offence
- Articles may contain some strong language, but a warning will be placed beforehand, by the moderator, on publication.
- Articles must not contain any offensive images or material.
- Articles must not contain any text or images that are an eye-sore or are of any annoyance to the viewing nature of the blog.
~more regulations may be printed in future, by notice of the moderator/publisher~
But in short, common sense must be used. Any articles disobeying rules will not be posted, or they will be removed following complaints from readers.

Thank you for using Citaxien.
