Phinbella will has a large number of legislative documents (known as Acts of Government, or simply 'Acts'), that outline the law on a variety of topics, from foreign policy to the suitable preparation of vegetables. While some have been put forward in the utmost seriousness, the nation's laid-back nature has come to the fore in others. Any member of the Government or Opposition can put forward a proposal, but it is entirely up to the Prime Minister whether the proposal becomes an Act or not.
All Acts are listed in a Register of Legislation, and are given codes relating to the date the Act was signed into law by the Prime Minister. Acts can come into force at a time of the Prime Minister's choosing - this is usually within a week, but in the case of emergency legislation, it can come into force within mere hours. However, a strange tradition has emerged where most or all legislation since 2020 or 2021 has come into force at 4am MST. |
Closing the LoopholesPhinbellan legislators cannot hope to ever cover every possibility event or outcome. So in the event where there is no specific Phinbellan law addressing a matter, the law of Malaysia applies.
