How to use this edition of the Index

Alright so basically this is just a book of amendments, unless you are referring to documents large enough to be redirected elsewhere in their entirety.

On top you will see the name of the piece of legislation that is in effect, and a Book of the main Index to refer to for (usually) unamended text, like so:

Our editors will note all the amendments and highlight changes with a strikethrough and highlighted text, like so in this manner, on this edition of the Index:

So, it’s as simple as cross-checking the amendments with the unamended original, and you are good to go!

These are the logbooks of the official Central Legislation Index:

Book Α

Book Β

Book Γ

Additionally, for reference here is provided the logbooks of the official Regional Index under the control of the Legislation Indices Association:

WRPS Book I

Formatting guide

This formatting guide is written for editors of the Central Legislation Index.

For a large document such as the Central Legislation Index, consistent formatting is extremely important as it helps people to search for cases and maintains a degree of professionalism.

Adding new legislation

Note on the Books of the Central Legislation Index.

Should a Part of the Central Legislation Index approach 200 pages, for the safety of the document, a new partition shall be created and all new stuff shall be published in that Book of the Index. The Books are simply numbered using HELLENIC NUMERALS: Α、Β、Γ、Δ、Ε、ΣΤ and so on. DO NOT CONTINUE AFTER Β WITH “C”, OR AFTER Υ WITH “Z”.

Paragraph formatting

The text of this Index is colour-coded as follows:

Red indicates still in force, whereas blue indicates repealed documents. Purple indicates Constitutional-level legislation still in effect. Green indicates amendments. Black indicates obsoleted legislation.

When you are typing normal paragraphs, make sure the format setting is at “Normal text”:

If you use the wrong formatting for your paragraphs, you could get something like this:

If this happens, make sure that your paragraphs are using the “Normal text” setting.

For your reference, the following headings are for:

Normal text	Paragraphs (e.g. [1] Lorem ipsum)
Title	Do not use (title for entire document, i.e. “UoR Central Legislation Index”)
Subtitle	Do not use (used in front page, e.g. “Legal Notice”, “Last Updated”)
Heading 1	Do not use (title for sections, e.g. “Law lost to time”, “Under the May Constitution”)
Heading 2 (colour-coded)	Title of Law (e.g. “The Revised Voting Powers Act”)
Heading 3	Currently unused outside the initial section
Heading 4	Mostly unused

Adding your bill to the Central Legislation Index

Once you have written your legislation in a separate document (and have checked that you have used the correct formatting), you are ready to add it to the Central Legislation Index.

Legislation is done in chronological order. What this means is that you should add your case to the end of the relevant section (e.g. if your case is under the February Constitution, you should add your thing to the end of the Under the February Constitution Section).

Firstly, you need to make space for your judgment. Head to the end of your relevant section:

Next, you need to create a page break. A page break allows you to cleanly move everything on to a new page.

To make a page break, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Enter. If this is not possible, go to “Insert”, and click “Break”:

Google Docs should create a clean new page for you, like so:

Copy and paste your entire judgment in this new clean page:

You will know your formatting was done correctly if the sidebar shows the correct indentation for the Articles of your law.

The last step you will need to do is to update the Table of Contents. Head to the Table of Contents and click inside, like so:

You should be able to see the circular arrow thing. Click on it:

The Table of Contents has now been updated. The last thing you will need to do is to find your case in the Table of Contents. You will need to select the specific line of the name of the Legislation and manually bold it (Ctrl+B).

And vóila, you are done! For this edition just integrate all applicatory amendments.

Compiled from the logbooks of the Central Index.

The Constitution:

This is by far our most extensive section. If you are unwilling to cross-check with the unamended constitution one of our admins maintains an up-to-date amended constitution, although amendments are unmarked, and we have linked that at the first page of every Index logbook.

Each participating party and/or coalition's number of votes (VP) shall be divided by the Q to get the party/coalition seat entitlement (E). The integer part of the E (i.e. the “1” in “1.234”) shall constitute the initial seat allocation (S1). The decimal part of the E (i.e. the “.234” in “1.234”) shall constitute the party/coalition seat quotient (SQ).
The SPR shall be subtracted by the summation of all S1 (𝚺S1) to get the total number of quotient allocable seats (SQA).
All SQA shall be distributed one at a time to each party, in descending order of their SQ.
