'''Monarchy'''
'''Efficiency'''
* Support for monarchy reforms to encourage Executive activity, ensure Legislative autonomy (Considered reforms: Elected long-term monarch, new censure measures to check Royal abuse of power, creation of legislative ability to override veto)
* A Government Fit For Purpose: The Culture and STUFF ministries should be combined.  Historically, the Culture Minister has done relatively little, and sometimes not even that.  Reassigning these tasks to a fully active ministry will not overburden them and will help make sure they actually get done.
* Should King John continue with inactivity and inattentiveness to the timely completion of basic duties then we will support an official censure and encourage King John to allow the ascension of someone else. “If we have de facto no King, then we will eventually push for de jure no King.”
* For Serious: Just as with the Culture ministry, the Foreign ministry should be folded into the Defence portfolio.
* Citizen Service Corps: As a part of the next Census, the Chancery will be directed to create a citizen skills inventory which will be used as a part of the Service Corps Initiative which will compile a voluntary knowledge base of those possessing useful professional skills in potential government service for use by incoming administrations in search of technocratic talent.  This needn't be a complex or invasive apparatus, but rather just a spreadsheet of skills which citizens possess. Too often, the government has flailed about and shouted into the void when seeking help.


'''Governmental Reform, Transparency and Oversight (OFFICE OF PRIME MINISTRY, FINANCE, INTERIOR)'''
'''Transparency'''
* Conduct organizational structural review program to assess and then identify improvements on bureaucratic efficiency by:
* Mandatory Performance Guidelines (performance on predetermined projects and timelines will be the primary criteria, not political concerns) and the Office of the Prime Minister will conduct performance monitoring with government appointees no less than monthly. Vague promises and zero deadlines aren't helpful to anyone. The people should know what their government is doing.
* Further potential agency and ministry consolidations (potentially Culture and/or STUFF ministries)
* We will direct the Ministry of Finance to create an online ‘Talossa’s Checkbook’ site where citizens can see where our Treasury is budgeting funds and where actual spending is occurring.  This information is available, but it should be obvious and accessible.
* Identifying and ending wasteful or embarrassing programs; (ex: Miss Talossa)
* Open Government. The government and informed bystanders have access to reliable and helpful data about the country, including level of activity on Wittenberg, immigration statistics, and the like.  But this data should be easily available to everyone in one central place, so all of the people can understand how the country is doing.  The government shouldn't try to keep it obscure.
* Convene Talossa’s first multiparty Conference on National Policy and Governance (we hope to work with the Royal Society on a nonpartisan, week-long and multifaceted clearinghouse for deep thinking on enduring Talossan issues
* Updated Website:  The Government has removed most information about the country from the national website, since it was too much work to update it. Since the national website is Talossa's first contact with most of the rest of the world, this is a very poor decision.  When people click on our website, they should find out about our country.  Condense, generalize, and focus -- but don't just surrender to the problem and hide it all.
* Cross-party and some nonpartisan technocratic ministerial appointments based on abilities and competence
* Mandatory Performance Guidelines (performance on predetermined projects and timelines will be the primary criteria not political concerns) and the Office of the Prime Minister will conduct performance monitoring with government appointees no less than every two weeks
* Each minister within the first month of appointment will have a plan of action containing program/task/project implementation directives with agreed timelines
* Each ministry will either have an accountable deputy or a designated alternate appointee to be activated upon unsatisfactory performance by the incumbent appointee
* '''Popular Initiative Amendment.''' (Support for amending the Organic Law to allow for formal advisements from the populace on non-budgetary legislative matters)
* '''Citizen Service Corps.''' As a part of the next Census, the Civil Service Commission will be directed to create a citizen skills inventory which will be used as a part of the Service Corps Initiative which will compile a knowledge base of those possessing useful professional skills in potential government service for use by incoming administrations in search of technocratic talent.
* '''Transparency.''' We seek at least one Live Cosa and one Live Terpalaziun (Question Period) within the next 12 months. Talossans deserve to see the spirited deliberations of their leaders and we need to make our Government more accessible to infrequent Witt users. We will also encourage the Ministry of Finance to create an online ‘Talossa’s Checkbook’ site where citizens can see where our Treasury is budgeting funds and where actual spending is occurring.
*  '''Other support reforms.''' We support opt-out privacy regimes, we support repeal of the Articulate Amendment and a return to the previous method of Tuischac’h appointment, we co-sponsored the Database Protection bill and will continue to promote multifaceted competencies within the Chancery through database acquisition or new development and cross-training, we support reform of citizenship law to extend, but not eliminate, the strikes allowance, we support Cosa reduction to no less than 60 seats, we support continuation of political party registration fees at $10 for political parties and an additional fee of $5 for Senate candidates, we encourage a nonpartisan and more efficient judiciary through set sessions for hearings and decisions and a voluntary Tamoran-like neutrality with judicial officers refraining from public partisanship


'''Egalitarian, Open Foreign Affairs (FOREIGN)'''
'''Energy'''
* Cultivate ‘Good Steward’ relationship w/other nations through positive sociocultural engagement and structural competence-building
* The TNC is engaged in intra-party discussions on reform of the institution of the Monarchy. Potential areas of reform include the re-establishment of a succession procedure, length of the term of office, and the structure of current monarchical powers, but this discussion and policy drive will not come at the expense of the effective day-to-day administration of the Kingdom's government. However, reform simply for the pleasure of tinkering is an exercise in vanity not public service.  The Ziu must focus on the real needs of the country, not satisfying the crusades of a few.
* The previous Foreign Ministry conducted diplomatic inquiries with more than a dozen nations and made progress with three. We seek the first opening of official diplomatic relations
* We will direct the Ministry of Finance to build on the Patriot Points program and incentivize it.
* Champion Talossa’s egalitarian values in extra-Talossan realms
* Revitalize the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and International Development
* The Foreign Ministry will work to review the human rights and development of other alternative polities as a part of Talossa's new Good Steward policy
* Focus on getting the Zuavs active as a primary goal, rather than something occurring only rarely and after months of badgering.
* Ensure continued effective and efficient operation of the new Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and International Development
* Language Use:  The government should use nudges where it can to encourage people to build some small familiarity with our national treasure, el glheþ Talossan.  Talossan-language titles, labels, and phrases should be used where it is convenient and when it doesn't hinder accessibility.
* In recognition of our nation’s Berber heritage we will seek recognition of the Sahrawi (Western Sahara) struggle for self-determination
'''Cultural Revitalization (CULTURE)'''
* Revive the office of Poet Laureate
* Encourage the continued growth of Ár Glheþ, particularly vocabulary and Talossan literature
* Ensure regular updates of Talossan internet presences (Talossa Wiki, Talossa.com)
* A Festival of Culture as a virtual exchange between Talossans around the world
* Talossan Historical Standardization project
