Ravneby (KTN) — The Valkyrian parliament passed the Valkyrian Culture Act 2020 on Friday, a bill intended for the "deaustralisation" of the Valkyrian Republic. One of the most prominent reforms made by the bill is renaming various Valkyrian cities back to their preaustralised names. The national capital, long known as Stockholm since the 19th century, will become Ravneby, referencing its abundance of ravens. As for Valkyria's second-most populous city of Sydney, a name that has stood since the 18th century, the city's name will become Gullkysten, a reference to the city's gold-coloured beaches.

The bill also makes another reform in education, reducing Austral's status to a foreign language and making the language's acquisition an elective for Valkyrian students. Before the VCA 20, the Department of Education required students to learn and acquire Valkyrian and Austral before graduation in a secondary or tertiary institution, but now they need only learn Valkyrian. Conservative politician Geira Ragnarsdóttir said that Valkyrian students needed "a patriotic education in their native language" during debate on the bill.

According to Nicole Chancellor, the Leader of The New Right who proposed the bill, the VCA 20 reverts the Valkyrian Republic to its "cultural roots and traditions". However, Labor politician Elisha Weaver opposed the bill, calling it an affront to Valkyrian inclusivity, "This bill is about catering to the interests of the majority ethnic group while disregarding the cultural values of minority groups."

In the third reading, the bill passed with the New Conservative Coalition's support and a few votes from opposition members while civil rights groups protested outside the capitol building. President Kate Murphy, a member of the Labor Party, referred the bill back to parliament for a fourth reading in which the National Assembly reaffirmed the bill's passage, making the VCA 20 a law.
