Executive Order #001

I hereby declare Trans Rights Tuesday to be extended to Trans Rights Every Day. I'm proud to recognize and protect the trans community.



Executive Order #002

Effective immediately, I hereby instruct all Southern law enforcement agencies to indefinitely cease enforcement of the Federal Assault Weapon and Automatic Weapon Ban Act. I believe it to be a direct violation of the Constitution of Atlasia.



Executive Order #003

I am extending the previous closure of Southern schools (previously closed through May 15, 2020) to now be closed through the remainder of the school year. It's clear that barring a massive change in circumstances conditions won't improve enough by June for schools to be able to reopen.

I am also directing all Southern schools to implement a pass/fail (or complete/incomplete) grading system for the remainder of the semester. Letter grades may be released (for informational purposes only) at the school's discretion.



Executive Order #004

I appoint Jayde aka trippytropicana to the vacant Southern Chamber of Delegates seat left vacant by my resignation.

Executive Order #005

I revoke Executive Order #002 after it has come to my attention it's illegal and I could be legally prosecuted. In its place I declare April 16 Southern Gun Rights Day.

Time for some useless holidays and far-left-leftist virtue signalling:

Quote from: EO.02
The first Friday after the fourth Thursday in November shall be known as "Capitalism Awareness Day." On that day the Southern Region will consider the damages caused by the illness that is capitalism, and everyone throughout the region is unofficially encouraged by the Leinad administration to ignore what their boss says. Being fired for offenses on this day will be officially greatly frowned upon, so will not giving employees raises.
Quote from: EO.04
The second Monday in October shall be known as "Indigenous People's Day." If we already did this, well, it will be celebrated double this time. That'll teach, uh, dead Europeans!
Quote from: EO.05
August 13th shall be known as "dfwlibertylover Day," to honor the former Governor of the Southern Region.
Quote from: EO.06
Statues of Confederate leaders in the Southern Region shall be decorated to look like popular 2000s rappers from the state the statue is in.
Quote from: EO.07
July 5th shall be known as "Freedom & Equality Day," to honor the fact that Ronald Reagan is dead.
Quote from: EO.08
The third Wednesday of every month shall be known as "Edgy Communism Wednesday." On that day the capital building of the Southern Region shall fly a hammer & sickle flag, and restaurant servers are encouraged to say "may I suggest trying: The Rich?" when taking an order.
Quote from: EO.09
December 13th shall be known as "Victims of Police Violence Awareness Day." On that day we will encourage police officers to serve and protect their community, and make sure those that don't are getting punished for their crimes. A law enforcement system is only as good as it is respected, and it will not be respected if it is abusive!

Could've done better with these, could've done better as Governor. Oh well. Time to go to bed. Love and peace, everyone!

Amended to strike EO 4 and 5. Any objections must be made within 24 hours.
Vetoing this. Huge mistake in the amendment process.

Youth Curfew Abolition Act

Section 2: Cutting Down on Curfews

1. All existing youth curfew laws are hereby repealed in the Southern Region, effective immediately.
2. Police may not detain a person simply for being outside during a certain time assuming there is no reasonable suspicion said person has committed a crime.
