in 1934 Nievish Almskeeper Douglas MacKinnon organized the first weekly telephone conference between his counterparts in occupied Engwahl and allied Eivarn Islands. Together, over a teleconference, middlemen were cut out and a tradition of constant dialogue between the heads of state of what would soon become the Thaumantic Communal Order. Today, or since the advent of smartblock cellulars, the teleconference can be initiated at any time by an internally produced and networked smartblock . . . The common network can sometimes be used by diplomatic proxies of the heads and emergency military or police figures presumed to represent their head of the triumvirate.
In 2023 the Thaumantic Telethon teleconference is led in this way: Nieveland's Almskeepher Aelis Pherson sets the agenda for each Sunday morning call and breaks quick decision vote breaks. Engwahl's President Linc Yeovil assumes control if Pherson cannot herself attend regardless of replacement proxies, and Eivarn Isles' Alderman Kinneth MacKinnerk who does keep minutes and discuss them with the press.
the 3 Heads of the Thaumantic Communal Order on a Miserable June Sunday in 2023
Almskeeper Pherson: "Why such a beautiful morning it is here in Caitekurke my dear kinsman MacKinnerk, a Catholic nation so full of pride, so full of spirit I wish ye were here the lot . . And, well can you hear me too Lil' Linc?
Alderman MacKinnerk: "Why the daily paper was quite delayed this morning, a press without lubricants is like a lady-faster without . . well, no I do not afford myself eye or ear fancies for entertainment, press be damned . . . This smart block, MARK ME BY LORD I SWEAR UPON THE GREAT . ."
President Yeovil: "Hear thee well, Lady Alms, and good morning Alderman MacKinnon. I've specked the news and haven't seen your nose ever so nestled in your praying hands or the Pope's arse, shouldn't you be supplicating and licking right now Aelis?"
Alderman MacKinnerk: "Save me, I will not record this minute, have some feck . . find your tongue Laird Yeovil!"
Almskeeper Pherson: "He forgets himself, he forgets this is a Catholic Order, and that Nievish hands not held in prayer on Sunday are primed at culling our ugly and ungrateful Engwahlian neighbors . . And do not write that one down either Ald-MacKin . . Can we be civil without going to war, just for today, Linc?"
President Yeovil: "Good morning and go on."
Almskeeper Pherson: "I exercise my right to bind ye two to silence this Sunday because this day is for Nieveland, this day if for Catholic Thaumanticans, but I should hear ye now if something is so pressing?"
Alderman MacKinnerk: "Should something be so pressing as the welcoming of His Holiness to the Communes? No, not from these faithful islands! REJOICE!"
President Yeovil: "Engwahlian Christian Science shall survive this Papal day, Lady Alms, I will pocket my agenda for next Sunday."
Almskeeper Pherson: "Such as it always does, Lil' Linc, and I do promise you right to set the agenda on next Sunday. God bless ye both and us all within this common order among Thaumanticans."
