The Union Act

The Union Act was a law drafted by the government of the United Kingdom in 1987. Its main focus was to clamp down on immigration and tighten border controls. The act came about following a devastating explosion that terrorised Turing City in North West England.

The act is the focus of the player character's investigation in The Occupation. Pete Bottomley, Designer and Co Founder at the game's developer White Paper Games, stated that The Union Act was based on the Patriot Act of America.
