Urabbaland, formerly the Corporate Demesne of Urabba Parks, is the part of the Enactorate of Urabbaparcensia (formerly Urabba Parks Pty Ltd) that does not belong to a region or territory. As the laws of the Demesne apply to activities of Urabbaparcensia not falling in a region or territory, the online activities of the company are attributed to the Demesne.

Etymology and history

Urabbaland was formerly known as the Demesne, which derives from Old French demeine, ultimately from Latin dominus, "lord, master of a household" – demesne is a variant of domaine. Under the Interpretation Act 2022 of the Corporate Parliament as originally made, the Corporate Demesne of Urabba Parks included all parts of Urabba Street Reserve in the New Eurabba not falling within a jurisdictional division. Since the creation of the Urabba territory (now New Eurabba) on 4 September 2022, Urabbaland has no territory.

Governance

Paragraph 122 of the Urabbaparcensian Constitution provides the Corporate Parliament may make laws for the government in the government of parts of Urabba Parks Pty Ltd not forming part of a jurisdictional division and the governance of matters in which the legislature of the jurisdictional division does not have power to make laws.

Under the terms of the Corporate Ordinances Act, 2022 laws applicable to the Demesne apply to the affairs of Urabba Parks Pty Ltd that are not governed by the laws of a jurisdictional division, including online activities without a physical location not regulated under the laws of a region or territory. Therefore, activities in the locality of Melbourne are governed by the laws of the Demesne, although it is far away from the original location of the Demesne at Urabba Street Reserve.
