In a statement today, the Secretary-General of els Zefençadéirs del Repúblicanismeu Talossán (ZRT), C. Carlüs Xheráltsëfiglheu MC, strongly opposed recent moves to abolish geographical assignment of citizens to provinces.
"The ZRT has pledged and will continue to pledge its commitment to the survival provinces of Talossa," said Carlüs.
"Recently, Talossa has seen successive governments fail in their duty to protect the cultural building blocks of our nation: the provinces. In breaking with the geographical anchors to provincial assignment, the provinces of Talossa could well lose the intrinsic cultural bond which breeds friendship between Talossans of the same province. This would also lead to the regression of our provinces from being cultural and political bastions to them being nothing more than virtual social clubs, which we feel would detract from the Talossan experience."
Carlüs added: "By ending geographical assignment to provinces, Talossans living outside of the Greater Talossan Area will lose their remaining link to the Talossan land thus essentially turning Talossa into an internet club. Furthermore, in doing so it will lead to a less diverse provincial landscape due to the likelihood of some provinces being deemed fashionable or sadly, unfashionable.
"The ZRT resolves to strive to retain a system of geographically anchoring assignment laws with regards to immigration," said Carlüs. "The ZRT believes that the way to resolve the ‘activity unbalance’ in provinces is to take a closer look at where most prospective citizens come from macronationally and to distribute assignments more fairly. That is to say that we’re sceptical of the current closure policy, and would resolve to replace it with a workable alternative."
