The Grand Kingdom of Emuþia has concluded its most significant week of legislative activity in the 2026 session. Following intense deliberation across both houses of Parliament, two foundational acts have been signed into law by His Majesty King Benjamin I, while two further reforms have cleared the Lower House to begin their ascent to the Vaeliskoda.

I. Signed into Law: The Upper House Successes

These acts have passed in the Upper House and received Royal Assent and are now the prevailing law of the land.

The Digital Residency Act of 2026

• The Breakdown: This Act establishes a formal “Digital Domicile” for Emuþian citizens worldwide. It allows those outside our physical borders to legally affiliate with a specific region, granting them the full protections and immunities of that region’s laws.
• Action Required: All citizens are encouraged to register their affiliation immediately. The Digital Residency Register is now open for submissions.

The Executive Succession Act of 2026

• The Breakdown: This Act ensures the “Unified Front” of Emuþian governance by establishing the roles of Deputy and Assistant Prime Minister. It guarantees that the National Cabinet remains operational regardless of the Prime Minister’s physical or digital availability.

II. Moving Up: The Lower House Advancements

These bills have successfully cleared the Lower House and now move to the Vaeliskoda for final scrutiny.

The Second Foreign Policy and Diplomacy Act

• The Breakdown: Introduced by Governor Garland, this act replaces the 2025 protocols with a strict Three-Tier Recognition System. It mandates a Reciprocity Clause—meaning Emuþia will no longer grant recognition to states that do not publicly recognize Emuþia in return—and bars “simulationist” or “roleplay” entities from our diplomatic channels.

The Inactivity Act of 2026

• The Breakdown: Proposed by Duke Amethy3t, this human-centric legislation allows parliamentary officials to request formal leave for academic or health reasons without losing their seat.
