THE UNIXPLORIAN GOVERNMENT


When our honorable King Leif I declared the Kingdom of Unixploria a sovereign nation, he took advice from the newly formed cabinet in writing a new constitution. The king has a significant role in our society, serving as the sovereign ruler and legislator.


The cabinet consists of several experts in their respective fields. The cabinet members are the king's closest advisors regarding constitutional issues. Their official titles are Cabinet Ministers of their separate area of expertise: The Department of Culture, The Cabinet of Defence, The Cabinet of Learning, Science, and Research, The Cabinet for Foreign Affairs, The Cabinet of Finance, and the Cabinet of Justice.

In the Spotlight: Legislation Published Recently

Breed-Specific Legislation

Recently, the United Kingdom placed an ownership ban on American XL Bully dogs. A nationwide ban will come into effect at the end of the year. In that instance, a spate of attacks resulted in multiple children being injured and two fatalities from XL bullies – all in separate incidents.


Other countries have implemented similar bans on dog breeds that are deemed to pose a threat to society. The Kingdom of Unixploria will now enforce similar legislation to prevent humans and other animals from coming to harm. This new restriction will become effective immediately and include tourists visiting our nation.


Breed-prohibition legislation (BSL) is a type of law that prohibits or restricts particular breeds or varieties of dogs. Such laws range from outright bans on the possession of these dogs to restrictions and conditions on ownership and often establish a legal presumption that such dogs are dangerous or vicious to prevent dog attacks.


Some jurisdictions have enacted breed-specific legislation in response to fatalities or maulings involving pit bull–type dogs or other dog breeds commonly used in dog fighting and some government organizations.

The new government took its seat in parliament the day before yesterday. The Alliance for Unixploria won a landslide victory in the election. Afu gained a full majority in parliament.

Some minor changes are to be expected. The first items on the new government's agenda are a review of our judicial system and a greater focus on domestic policy, including a new proposal for a national cultural approach.


Issues related to national security, ethical issues, and Unixplorian culture will also be emphasized. Afu has announced that it will maintain the high ambitions held by the previous government concerning issues of ecological sustainability.


A government declaration will follow shortly.


[12.4.2023]

After a short debate in the Cabinet of Culture about languages used on our websites and social media accounts, we agreed on the following:


a. The primary language used on our website will continue to be English. We decided to use the American variation since most of our members and citizens are more familiar with the American spelling of English.


b. Several of our subdomains are written in Swedish and a few in other languages. We will continue to allow sites written in languages other than English. If someone needs to express themselves in a specific language, we should be able to cater to their needs.


c. The standard language is English during official meetings such as cabinet meetings or other affairs concerning our nation. Protocols from assemblies or meetings shall be transcribed in English. A copy written in another language can be obtained for a nominal fee from The Scribes of Unixploria.
