Inauguration Address

I am humbled to speak to you now as the President of Atlasia. We will face many challenges in the next four months and I am grateful for the trust that has been bestowed upon Lumine and me.

First, I want to thank President Weatherboy and his administration for their service to our nation. Serving as President is not an easy position, and I commend his administration for the work they did, notably bringing the North Korean Civil War to a peaceful end.

Today I take office as the 47th President, though this is my second time in the position. A lot has happened in the past eight years – I have learned so much more about the game and how it functions, but also have learned more about myself and how to display leadership with honesty and integrity.

We have obstacles facing this game that have been ongoing for years. Since I started playing in 2009, we’ve heard talk of inactivity, the need for reform and the lack of true mock government occurring. We may not completely solve these issues during this term, but we will be hitting the ground running and will make significant process.

We will work with the three appointed council to accomplish our top priorities: normalize relations with China and become a global leader again, finalize a budget and look at reforms that can be made to make our game work more efficiently. We have assembled a fantastic cabinet that will work very hard for The People. In addition, my Vice President and I will be working very closely with members of Congress, from all sides, to pass legislation that is sensible and is of high quality.

In response the joke made by outgoing President Weatherboy recently about using nuclear weapons on another country – our administration takes the use of nuclear weapons very seriously and recognizes the impact that comments like these have. I assure the Atlasian people and people of the world that such actions will not continue in our administration. I look forward to speaking with world leaders to rebuild our partnerships around the world that make our nation and world a safer place. 

I am excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work. I will work very hard for Atlasia during the next four months. Our office will be active and very transparent – please reach out to Lumine or me at any point if you have questions, ideas or feedback that you’d like to share. Thank you for this opportunity – we will not let you down! Stay tuned!

Eight executive orders were just issued. Six dealt with cabinet and council nominations; you can click here to view those nominations. The seventh is the reinstatement of the Mexico City policy, which lapsed during the Yankee and WB administrations. The final executive order designates the World Organisation for Animal Health as a public international organization. It also established September 28th of each year as National Rabies Day. See below:

Executive Order
Designation of the World Organisation for Animal Health as a Public International Organization and Establishment of National Rabies Day

As President of Atlasia, I hereby designate the World Organisation for Animal Health as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities provided by the International Organizations Immunities Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect privileges, exemptions, or immunities that such organization otherwise may have acquired or may acquire by law.

I give specific recognition to the organization’s work on combatting the rabies epidemic, which particularly hit the Southern Region of Atlasia due to raccoon attacks in 2018. The organization has provided significant policy, technical and strategic advice for the diagnosis, control and eradication of rabies throughout the world.

September 28th of each year shall be classified as National Rabies Day, in compliance with World Rabies Day. The purpose will be to raise awareness about rabies and help bring together partners to enhance preventative efforts nationwide.

Note: This executive order is based off of EO 271 by the Obama administration in January 2017.

Statement from the President

I am withdrawing the nomination of AustralianSwingVoter as National Archivist. His confirmation hearing has been a circus and his actions on Discord have displayed a lack of maturity. I no longer trust his ability to lead Wiki reform, an issue that has always been important to me. This evening, I asked him to withdraw his objection to a final vote as I believe his nomination has been sufficiently debated and it is time for the Senate to vote and move on to other issues. He openly refused and said he wanted to keep it open "for the theatrics." He is welcome and encouraged to keep making edits, if he chooses.

In addition, his attacks on Wulfric are borderline harassment and quite frankly disturbing.  My administration will operate a zero tolerance policy on harassment/bullying. On behalf of the administration, I apologize to Wulfric for the attacks that have been made towards him by my nominee.

The position will be vacant and we will look at appointing someone else very soon, possibly reverting to co-Archivists as it was in the past. Please contact me if you are interested in applying.

Rescinding National Archivist Nominee

The nomination of AustralianSwingVoter as National Archivist is withdrawn.

Proud to make this executive order this morning - this is based off of a recent executive order by the Trump Administration. It is imperative that we do more as a nation to help our veterans - our goal is that this EO will help develop strategies and tools to help combat the high rates of veteran suicide in our country.

Executive Order
To empower veterans and decrease suicide rates

By the authority vested in me as President of Atlasia, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1: Purpose
Dozens of service members and veterans die by suicide each day.  In Atlasia, it is imperative that we provide better care for those who have risked their lives fighting for the freedoms we cherish every day. I am issuing this national call to action to improve the quality of life for our veterans.

Section 2: Establishment of the Veteran Wellness, Empowerment, and Suicide Prevention Task Force

1. The Veteran Wellness, Empowerment, and Suicide Prevention Task Force, co-chaired by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of Internal Affairs, is hereby established.

Section 3: Taskforce Guidelines
1. Within 365 days of the date of this order, the Task Force shall develop and submit to the President the roadmap to empower veterans to pursue an improved quality of life, prevent suicide, prioritize related research activities, and strengthen collaboration across the public and private sectors.  The roadmap shall analyze opportunities to better harmonize existing efforts within Federal, State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and non-governmental entities.  The roadmap shall include:
(i)    the community integration and collaboration proposal described in section 6 of this order, which will better coordinate and align existing efforts and services for veterans and promote their overall quality of life;

(iii)  an implementation strategy that includes a description of policy changes and resources that may be required.

2.  In developing the roadmap, the Co-Chairs shall, at their discretion and in consultation with the other members of the Task Force, engage with:

(a)  community integration that brings together veteran-serving organizations to provide veterans with better coordinated and streamlined access to a multitude of services and supports, including those related to employment, health, housing, benefits, recreation, education, and social connection; and

Section 5:  Development of a National Research Strategy.
1. Within 365 days of the date of this order, the Task Force shall develop a national research strategy to improve the coordination, monitoring, benchmarking, and execution of public- and private-sector research related to the factors that contribute to veteran suicide.
2. As the Task Force develops this national research strategy, the Co-Chairs may, at their discretion and in consultation with the other members of the Task Force, engage with the persons and entities described in section 5(b)(i) through (iii) of this order, as well as with Federal Government entities.
3.  The national research strategy shall include milestones and metrics designed to:
(i)    improve our ability to identify individual veterans and groups of veterans at greater risk of suicide;
(ii)   develop and improve individual interventions that increase overall veteran quality of life and decrease the veteran suicide rate;
(iii)  develop strategies to better ensure the latest research discoveries are translated into practical applications and implemented quickly;
(iv)   establish relevant data-sharing protocols across Federal partners that also align with the community collaboration outlined in section 6 of this order;
(v)    draw upon technology to capture and use health data from non-clinical settings to advance behavioral and mental health research to the extent practicable;
(vi)   improve coordination among research efforts, prevent unnecessarily duplicative efforts, identify barriers to or gaps in research, and facilitate opportunities for improved consolidation, integration, and alignment; and
(vii)  develop a public-private partnership model to foster collaborative, innovative, and effective research that accelerates these efforts.

4.The national research strategy shall not be limited to clinical or healthcare interventions, but should approach the problem of veteran suicide in a holistic manner to improve overall veteran quality of life.

Statement from the President

Happy International Women's Day to the strong women we have in Atlasia and across the world. In a forum/game that has been dominated by men, I am grateful for the progress that has been made in recent years - we've had women in several key positions, including former President Fhtagn!! Still have a lot of work to do to make this game a more welcoming place for all.

Today we celebrate the power of women fighting for important causes and driving change in various settings, paving the way for future generations of female leaders.

Historic announcement from the Department of State!! We will be meeting with Chinese government leaders TOMORROW in Singapore to discuss our relationship going forward.

Secretary wxtransit making the announcement of a summit with the Chinese government on Monday

Chinese summit announcement

March 11, 2019

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am pleased to announce to you all today that we have formally scheduled a meeting with the Chinese government to discuss our diplomatic and trade relations take place tomorrow, March 12th. It has been the goal of the State Department and the Atlasian Government ever since the end of the Korean Civil War to ensure peace in East Asia and rebuild our relationships in the region, and we see this meeting as an important step in furthering that goal.

Over the past few decades, China and Atlasia have shared a storied relationship, with some trials through the years but, in particular in light of our common successes, has continued to remain an important relationship for both of our nations and one we both seek to preserve and forward. The Atlasian Government was pleased to learn of the signing of the peace accord in Panmunjom in January by the Chinese, helping to end the Civil War in Korea, and we hope to build off of this positive momentum to help mold our future relations. And that is the main purpose of this event: of deciding what path for our futures and of what form this diplomatic and trade relationship should take moving forward.

Since the President took office on March 1st, the administration put emphasis on restarting communications with the Chinese, and, after some discussions with relevant officials in the Chinese government as to the location and date, had mutually agreed to meet on Tuesday. Singapore - a close ally of both Atlasia and China - was chosen and gladly agreed to host us for tomorrow's meeting. We hope - as I believe the Chinese do also - that this will turn out to be a very productive meeting in which both sides will be able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement which can further our common relationship.

Both the President and I will be in attendance at the meeting tomorrow, and we will be boarding a plane this afternoon to arrive by tomorrow in Singapore. At present, I have nothing else to say on the matter, other than that we mutually hope that this will mark the beginning of a bright future for our two nations.

Thank you, and God bless Atlasia.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I come to you from Singapore, where we are currently wrapping up after several days of positive discussions with China leaders.

In December, Atlasian/Canadian citizen David Byle was arrested in Doha, Qatar, for preaching Christianity and converting two Qatari citizens. He has been facing trial, where consequences could have been severe. However, after weeks of negotiations and in speaking with both Mr. Byle and his wife directly, I am pleased to announce that David Byle has been released from custody. Secretary of State WXTransit arrived at our embassy in Qatar last night and currently is with Mr. Byle and his wife on a flight back to Atlasia. We are grateful that they will be returning safely. A special "thank you" to our Secretary of State for assisting in this matter.

Good evening,

Last week, we held a summit event with Chinese government officials in Singapore, our first conversations with them post-war. I am pleased to say that we made substantial progress in discussions regarding foreign policy and promoting economic security throughout the world, as well as talks on religious freedom and creating trade practices that work for both countries. We did not come away with all of the answers, but I am happy that we were able to begin a dialogue again and believe this was the first of many positive conversations with Chinese government officials. There will be more to come, stay tuned!

A Transparent Administration

From the start of the campaign, I vowed to keep our administration's Discord server positive and focused on serving The People, and so far, we have done just that.

Today, we are taking it a step further and opening it up to the public. This is The People's administration, and we want to help make sure The People know everything that is happening. So I am opening the server up! The general channel is open to the public for messaging, etc. This includes the general channel, Benson's Place and also Wiki. Two of our councils, Domestic and Reform, will be in read-only mode for non-council members, but provides a way for The People to see what these councils are doing and will be able to provide feedback if they have suggestions or concerns (want to join a council? PM me!!!). I will need to assign folks a role to view those, so have patience if you don't see them right away.

We do have a cabinet channel that will remain closed off, this is solely used as a way for me to communicate decisions with my cabinet ahead of time. In addition, for security reasons, the National Security Council will be closed off.
