THE WHITE HOUSE

[Lumine]

Acknowledging I've taken notice of Executive Order 10. With Acta Publica updates to resume this week, it will be simulated soon.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Executive Order 010 (TOP SECRET, not for reading by the general public)

I'm directing the Central Intelligence Agency to plot and carry out an assassination on Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. The attempt on President Afwerki's life shall be planned and executed by the top minds in the entire Agency.

Friendly reminder from your local AG to anyone reading this that this is still technically a classified document, even though everyone with an Atlas account can see it. Please keep discussion to official circles and out of public eye so that I can enjoy spending Christmas with my immediate family and not locked away in my office drawing up indictments for espionage.

Executive Order 011

I'm bestowing the Silver Order of the Star of Atlasia on the following individuals:

Orenthal James Simpson: For his decades of service to Atlasian pop culture as both a talented football player and respected actor.

Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman: For being innocent victims of a tragic murder committed by an assailant who may still be out there. I shudder to think at what type of monster could have committed these terrible crimes.

[Dr. MB]

A Statement

The Atlasian government condemns so-called President of Paflagonia Adolf von Kummerspeck and urges a swift end to the conflict and for Mr. von Kummerspeck to be brought to justice.

The death of President Afwerki of Eritrea is a positive step for democracy in East Africa. I hope that the Eritrean people will bring a swift end to the atrocities of the previous regime.
