Suva City (General Electors Communal Constituency, Fiji)

Suva City General Communal is a former electoral division of Fiji, one of 3 communal constituencies reserved for General Electors, an omnibus category including Caucasians, Chinese, and all others whose ethnicity was neither indigenous Fijian nor Indo-Fijian. Established by the 1997 Constitution, it came into being in 1999 and was used for the parliamentary elections of 1999, 2001, and 2006. (Of the remaining 68 seats, 43 were reserved for other ethnic communities and 25, called Open Constituencies, were elected by universal suffrage).

gollark: Apparently whoever wrote the specifications for what people learn in "computer science" thought it was important that people know about this, and for consistency or something they designed their own assembly language (which does not actually run on anything).

gollark: Assembly is basically a very low-level language which directly compiles to machine code, which is what the CPU hardware runs.
gollark: The assembly language is actually reasonable and vaguely ARM-like.
gollark: The spec, I mean. I don't think we managed to implement that because it makes no sense.
