==Renunciation of Citizenship==
In 2015, Asmourescu alleged that, while seated as Puisne Justice of the Uppermost Cort, he had privately conspired with Ma La Mha, Count of Thord, to conceal his involvement in the investigation of [[Eiric Börnatfiglheu]] so that he could rule on the case as a Justice at a future date. He publicly released numerous private chat logs to support his accusations. He entered into a plea agreement in exchange for turning state's evidence. The case was dismissed during the summer of 2015 and Asmourescu's plea agreement was thrown own by then-Magistrate Owen Edwards who further dismissed all charges against Asmourescu, while leaving open the possibility of future prosecution. Asmourescu resigned his membership in the Royal Talossan Bar and all other offices following the revelation of the chat logs.
On the 19th July {{year|2013}}, T.M. Asmourescu renounced his Talossan citizenship making the following statement:


<blockquote>Since I first served as Attorney General, I have dedicated myself to trying to build our legal system into a fully functioning, honest to goodness system capable of handling caseloads and rendering fair and just verdicts within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, I created the position of Clerk of Courts and wrote a book about how to prepare cases before the courts.<br><br>

The courts offer us a unique opportunity to not simply play the back and forth game of legislate and repeal. That game is merely regulated mob rule. The simple majority can shift the direction of the nation unchecked. The judiciary should, as it does in other nations, serve as an independent body ensuring that the constant back and forth does not infringe upon the rights of its citizens or step all over itself by passing legislation which conflicts with one another. I have tried to get people to use the judiciary to remedy their problems. Unfortunately, people do not want to because it would involve reading the law and typing a well thought out argument rather than a quickly thrown together bill. <br><br>
===Publications===
 
This fosters an environment where the judiciary is unable to protect because the people will not allow it to. If a bill passes to become law despite it being inorganic, the judiciary has the authority to quash it. But instead, people are content to let inorganic and conflicting bills lord over them. They won't make a move to extricate themselves from the situation because it is easier to say "we can't! We're the minority!" or "I tried! The Senators of my own party blocked me!" <br><br>
 
The Talossan Courts offer an avenue to play a hand in the legal framework of our country without being a legislator or even without maintaining a political affiliation of any sort. But no one seems interested besides myself and a very small group of others. <br><br>
 
Most recently, I engaged in an act of civil disobedience to try to take down the wholly inorganic What's the Difference Act. I was prepared to face criminal charges because the law does not support conviction and, even if it did, certain organic protections could well invalidate the proscribed verdict. <br><br>
 
Others seemed keen to protest as well, waiting for their day in court. <br><br>
 
I also filed an appeal in my case where I again argued the organicity of the What's the Difference Act. These indeed were proving to be interesting times for the judiciary. <br><br>
 
Unfortunately, the government decided to take the easy way out. Rather than take me to court and face the various conflicts of law in the trial, verdict and sentencing which are caused by this inorganic law, they whitelisted the nation I created in protest thus ending my channel for legal action and obliterating my standing to make such a challenge. Now, the law stands as illegal as ever and no one seems to care. They will remedy it with a law that will likely be repealed in the future and replaced with an equally as repressive one with no one wanting to test the law in court. <br><br>
 
It is sad that the government felt the need to take the cowardly way out. I must accept responsibility, as my own vote helped to empower those who now wish I would just sit down and shut up. <br><br>
 
They finally have their wish. <br><br>
 
There is nothing left for me in Talossa. If the judiciary is to serve only as the chancery tally police, I am not interested in being around. <br><br>
 
Effective immediately, I hereby renounce my citizenship in Talossa. I will be working on Eurusia. I hope, for the government's sake, that their whitelisting scheme has served them well. <br><br>
 
Though hardly necessary given the nature of my post here, I would also like to return my coat of arms to King John with my thanks. I joined Talossa around the abdication of King Louis and was present during the debates over whether we should even have another King. I argued and later voted for King John (then Sir John) and I thank him for providing me guidance and encouragement during my first few years in Talossa. <br><br>
 
Thus ends my nearly six years in Talossa. I will miss some of you.</blockquote>
 
 
==Return to Talossa==
 
In December 2013, Asmourescu returned to Talossa. Noting that no writ of termination had ever been issued, he challenged the validity of his original renunciation.

Tímoþi Txec Max Asmourescu (b. 5 April 1985) is a former Talossan citizen who served as a Puisne Justice on the Uppermost Court, an Admiral and senior officer in the Talossan Navy. Asmourescu also held the Well-Met Fellowship in the College of Arms. He was a member of the ZRT Republican caucus within the Free Democrats of Talossa political party until his renunciation of citizenship in early 2016.

Biography

T.M. Asmourescu first became a Talossan citizen on 22 December 2006/XXVII and was assigned residency within the Benito province. Mr. Asmourescu was commissioned in the Royal Talossan Navy in June 2007 with the rank of Captain. Captain Asmourescu transferred to the reserves, briefly, to serve as Minister of Defence under Seneschal Ieremiac'h Ventrutx in the 39th Cosa. He returned to active duty following his resignation.


As Senior Officer and Minister of Defense, Capt. Asmourescu drafted legislation to improve the administration of the Talossan military. His key pieces of legislation as a Member of Cosa included:

♦ 37RZ13-Military Honours Act (established awards and ribbons for members of the military)
♦ 39RZ1-The Military Reserve Reformation Act (allowed reserve service for Admirals)
♦ 39RZ4-The BOHICA Act (established a system of disciplinary measures as well as military discharges and retirement)

He was appointed to the rank and post of Admiral on November 29, 2011 pursuant to 35RZ32.


While continuing his Naval Service (such that it is), he was appointed to the Ministry of Justice by Seneschal Litz Cjantscheir. During that time, he was also appointed to the bench on the Magistrate's Court. As Attorney General, he sought to reform the legal system through drafting key pieces of legislation including:

♦ 42RZ4-The Clerk of Courts Act (establishes the office of Clerk of Courts)
♦ 42RZ5-The Legal Representation Act (establishes guidelines for legal representation)
♦ 43RZ2-The Legal Appeals Act (Clarifies the appeals process.‡)
♦ 43RZ15-The Judicial Retirement Act (Allows for a retirement process for Justices and Magistrates)
♦ 43RZ28-The Bernard P. Fife Act (establishes a deputy position for the Clerk of Courts)
‡After passage of the legal appeals act, Admiral Asmourescu became aware of an inconsistency with Organic Law and cautions its application.

On the 19th July 2013/XXXIV, T.M. Asmourescu renounced his Talossan citizenship.[1] In December of that same year, Asmourescu returned to Talossa. Noting that no writ of termination had ever been issued, he challenged the validity of his original renunciation. An acting Deputy Secretary of State issued a backdated writ of termination, prompting Asmourescu to file suit. On January 2, Justice Ian Tamoran nullified the writ and affirmed the citizenship of Admiral Asmourescu, thus securing his return.
