Elections in Yuunli - Yuunli - 04-30-2005

Today the Republic of Yuunli held its first elections. 20 legislative assemblies were elected: 12 provinces on the island, 5 provinces on the continent, the Island Assembly, the Continent Assembly and the Assembly of the Republic.

Some notes about the voting system:
People do not vote for candidates, but for political parties.
The number of seats in the Assembly corresponds to the rounded percentage of votes a party received. Only parties with at least 1% of the votes enter the Assembly .
If the sum does not add up to 100, the biggest faction gets the remaining seats.
If the sum is more than 100, the smallest factions lose seats.

The new Legislative Assembly of the Republic has:
20 seats for members of the Free Citizens Party (libertarian)
18 seats for members of the Safe Life Lobby (protectionist)
17 seats for members of the Free Trade Party (capitalist)
17 seats for members of Preserve Yuunli's Nature (environmentalist)
8 seats for members of Yuunli Against Poverty (socialist)
8 seats for members of the Movement for Family and Neighborhood (conservative)
12 seats for members of other parties



In 7 provinces, the three main leftist parties (YAP, SLL, FCP) have an absolute majority. In the remaining 10 provinces as well as in the Island Assembly and the Continent Assembly, they have a simple majority.

The FCP is the biggest faction in 6 provinces as well as in all assemblies above province level.
The SLL is the biggest faction in 5 island provinces.


The members of the Executive Council are elected by majority vote. The most important posts are the chair (moderating when there are conflicts), finances (managing the budget) and international relations (representing Yuunli abroad).

The new Chairman of the Executive Council of the Republic of Yuunli is a member of the Free Citizens Party. International Relations, Justice, Economy, Social Security, Education and Research and Technology are in the hands of the FCP, too.
The Councilors for Finance, National Security, Consumer Protection, Health, Defense and Families and Children are SLL members.
The environmentalist PYN party has the Councilors for Agriculture and the Environment.
The Councilor for Infrastructure comes from the Capitalist FTP.

The Executive Council of the Island has 9 SLL Councilors (including the chair), 4 FCP, 1 PYN (agriculture). The Executive Council of the Continent has 7 SLL Councilors, 6 FCP (incl. the chair) and 1 PYN (environment).

11 provinces have SLL chairpersons, 6 FCP.


The first issue of the newly elected Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Yuunli was quite controversial: "Owls on the dinner table?" - overpopulation of the national animal (sacred for 40% of the population).
PYN, MFN and GVC (29/100 seats) were strictly against killing any owls.
SLL and FTP (35/100 seats) wanted to pass a bill that would allow owl hunting.

After a heated debate, FCP and YAP members presented a compromise: controlled owl hunting by the state. This compromise eventually gained a majority in the Assembly.

With the new legislation demanding controlled shootings of animals whose population has significantly increased, the PYN environment councilor had to hand out a small number of hunting permits.

I'm assuming that owls are the national animal of Yuunli?

If so, that would make the Yunnli the third IDU nation to have an owl as their national animal. Mikitivity does as well!

The PRoGG offers its congratulations to Yuunli and the elected parties.

We also appreciate the owl as national animal. They are a symbol of wisdom, something Yuunli obviously has as a member nation of the IDU.
