1776 Will Commence Again Resolution

Whereas, the Southern Region offers the most freedom to it's residents;

Whereas, the Southern Region has been known to fully support and encourage it's residents to exercise their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms;

Whereas, the Southern Region has been known to fully support and encourage it's residents to exercise their Constitutional right to free expression;

Whereas, the Southern Region, along with all of Atlasia, celebrates Independence Day on July 4th;


Be it resolved, that the Southern Government:

1. Encourages Southern residents to celebrate Independence Day by practicing target shooting on their properties or at licensed facilities with any legally acquired or rented firearm of their choice.

2. Encourages the use of low potency explosives in Independence Day celebrations.

3. Encourages Southern residents to proudly display any Atlasian, Regional, State, or Local flag of their choice. Examples include, but are not limited to current, historical, and previously proposed flags.

4. Encourages the appreciation of statues erected to memorialize all Southern historical figures, and does not support applying modern moral standards that did not exist in the time the person lived.
