The foundation of the Observer was inspired by da Schir's forced renounciation to his Lucanian citizenship: in his 11-citizens micronation, he was the chief executive of two newspapers: il Corriere di Lucania, in Italian, and the main inspiration for the Observer, da Lukaniens Nevpapier (the Lucanian Newspaper), in Lucanian. He thought that a newspaper would have given the double effect of presenting himself as new citizen inside Talossa and improving the Kingdom's press. Also, the Observer's creation had the brief result of forcing [[Öin Ürsum]] to publish some new news on his online newspaper [[Mormoglhen]].
 
==Newspaper==
The Observer used to release a PDF issue every two months, although CEO da Schir has announced the suspension of the PDF issue following the chronical lack of time of the tO staff. The issue was named "the Sunday Observer". The issue is coloured, and with about 7-8 pages.
CEO da Schir has announced the release of a new PDF issue shortly after the end of the 45th Cosâ General Elections.
 
==Website==
The Observer has a website too, where the journalists post the news of the day. The 500 visitors wall was broken September 30th, 2012, while the website reached 1000 visits on March 29th, 2013. On June 21st the website saw its 2000th visit. Da Schir has valued the Observer's website as the fourth most visited of the Talossan world after Wittenberg, the Wiki and KoT.net, and before the Glheþ's website.
The Observer has a Facebook page (23 likes) and a Twitter profile (43 followers).

Da Schir conceived the Observer early in his immigration process as a way to introduce himself to the citizenry; while da Schir admits the beginnings were marred by a lot of silliness and broken English, the Observer eventually developed into an award winning outlet, with its analysis on the January 2014 General Elections, and attracted numerous writers and people who helped in various other ways, such as gifting a proper domain name for the website.

Throughout its activity, the Talossan Observer mantained a Facebook page and a Twitter handle, with roughly a hundred of combined following, and a website which at the time was the most visited non-governmental website of the Talossan webspace.
