ULAGALE UNIVERSITY PLAN UNVEILED AND ELECTORAL LAW COMPLETED

With the Legal Foundations Set, Shardiland Advances to Education and Democracy
Official Gazette of the Republic-in-Formation – 25th July 2025

Ailsa Craig (SC7N Bureau) — The Republic-in-Formation of Shardiland has taken two bold steps forward in its state-building journey with the full publication of the Ulagale University Education Plan and the finalisation of the Electoral Law of the Republic of Shardiland.

These announcements come just weeks after the ratification of the Organic Law of the State, the Civil Code, and the Military Service Law — three pillars that have already laid the structural, legal, and civic framework of the emerging nation. Now, with education and democratic procedure formally addressed, Shardiland's institutional architecture deepens further.

The Ulagale Vision: Knowledge as a Pillar of Nationhood

Published this morning by the Ministry of Education, the Ulagale University Education Plan represents a clear intellectual declaration of intent. Though the university itself remains in the planning stage, its educational philosophy and internal structure are already fully defined.

According to the plan, Ulagale University will comprise four foundational faculties: Sciences, Engineering and Innovation, Law and Governance, and the Arts and Humanities. The university will champion merit-based admissions, public service, and high-level research. Designed to serve not just Shardilandis but a global community of thinkers and learners, Ulagale is envisioned as a world-class academic institution rooted in civic duty.

Its primary mission? To train future citizens, statesmen, scientists, diplomats, and educators — individuals who will carry the Republic forward once it steps into material existence.

Electoral Law: Democracy in Readiness

Alongside the education plan comes another landmark development: the completion of the Electoral Law of the Republic of Shardiland. Though the Republic does not yet possess physical territory, the electoral machinery is now prepared in full detail.

The law codifies a Parliament of 300 members, with 150 to be elected directly by the citizens, and the other 150 composed of historically significant political figures — symbolising the union between tradition and democratic progress. The law also outlines the process for appointing the Prime Minister, creating independent electoral commissions, regulating campaign conduct, and ensuring free and transparent elections.

Scholars of constitutional law have already praised the document as an example of advanced institutional design — one that balances innovation with stability, and history with modernity.

Foundations Assembled, Nation Awaited

With its Organic Law, Civil Code, Military Service Law, and now its Education and Electoral frameworks complete, Shardiland stands as a de jure Republic — a state conceived fully in law and principle, awaiting its de facto realisation.

As Liam Johnson stated in tonight’s SC7N address:

“Though our territory remains symbolic and our institutions embryonic, we are not waiting for permission to prepare. We are building with purpose.”

The publication of today’s texts further strengthens Shardiland’s legal and intellectual claim to statehood. With every law passed and every institution designed, the dream inches closer to political reality.
