The Unicameral, the supreme legislative body of the State of Nebraska
Unicameral alphabet, an alphabet that has no case for its letters

The Nebraska Legislature is the supreme legislative body of the state of Nebraska. Its members are "senators." The legislature is officially unicameral and nonpartisan, making Nebraska unique among U.S. states; no other state has either a unicameral or a nonpartisan legislative body, but partisanship does occur in a de facto fashion. With 49 members, it is also the smallest legislature of any U.S. state.

A unicase or unicameral alphabet is one that has no case for its letters. Kannada, Tamil, Arabic, Old Hungarian, Hebrew, Georgian, and Hangul are unicase alphabets, while (modern) Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Armenian are bicameral, as they have two cases for each letter, e.g., B/b, Β/β, Б/б, Բ/բ. Individual characters can also be called unicameral if they are used as letters with a generally bicameral alphabet but have only one form for both cases; for example, ʻokina (ʻ), used in Polynesian languages, and glottal stop (ʔ) as used in Nuu-chah-nuulth.
