OBD of Oregon, 55th President of the Republic
in office since 4 March 2022

[OBD]

Executive Order 55:01

1. Battista Minola and Scott are hereby reappointed to the National Security Council.


OBD, President of the Republic of Atlasia

I consider continuity an important factor in the proper functioning of the National Security Council. Thus, while both of these distinguished Atlasians already serve on the NSC, I am formally re-appointing them to the Council today, filling the seat vacated by now-Vice President Utah Neolib. This will maintain the composition of the NSC, allowing us to maintain a firm, consistent foreign policy in a fraught time.

While I would love to sign this legislation to allow my esteemed friends Mr. R and LouisvilleThunder to realize their lifelong dream of having intercourse with horses, I do not wish for the citizens of Atlasia to bear witness to such acts.

Executive Order 55:02

WHEREAS,

Kansas is Fremontian land, Kansas is inhabited by Fremontian people, and Kansas is culturally Fremontian

The Southern legislature has approved legislation and the Southern Governor has signed legislation, S. 22.1-82, which provides for the declaration of war as a response to ambiguity over Kansas’ regional status. The enactment of this legislation creates a state of hostility between the Federal Government and the Southern Government, and creates the danger of a rebellion against the Government of the Republic of Atlasia. The existence of this legislation constitutes a conspiracy to resist legitimate, constitutional adjustments to regional boarders by means of violence, and to instigate violence against the Government of the Republic of Atlasia, the people of Fremont, and the people of Kansas.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Oregon B. Dog, President of the Republic of Atlasia, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Atlasia, including Chapter 15 of Title 10 of the United States Code, particularly sections 332, 333 and 334 thereof, do command all Southern National guardsmen or unorganized militia to desist therefrom, and to disperse forthwith from the state of Kansas.

THEREFORE, in order the assuage the threat of rebellion, the state of Kansas shall be transferred to the control of the Commonwealth of Fremont

WHEREAS the commands contained in this proclamation have not been obeyed and the law remains a Southern statue and threatens to continue, and Kansas remains under Southern jurisdiction:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Atlasia, including U.S.C Chapter 15 of Title 10, particularly Sections 332, 333 and 334 thereof, and Section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Units and members of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Atlasia will be used to maintain peace in Kansas and to transfer control of the state of Kansas to the Government of the Commonwealth of Fremont


Section 2. The Attorney General is authorized to use such of the Armed Forces as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of section 1, to that end by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Atlasia, I hereby authorize the Attorney General to call into the active military service of the Republic of Atlasia, as he may deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of this order, any or all of the units of the Southern National Guard to serve in the active military service of the Republic of Atlasia and for an indefinite period and until relieved by appropriate orders.

Address to the Nation on Kansas

My fellow Atlasians, I come to you at a somber hour. Last night, I authorized our Armed Forces to conduct a police action in the state of Kansas. As of this moment, troops are advancing eastwards towards Topeka on all fronts. Now, I am a peaceful man, and am no warmonger. To have Atlasian take up arms against each other is the very last thing I want. But this action is unequivocally necessary. Let me state, the passage of the Our Kansas Act was a monstrous and violent escalation and a evident expression of the will of the Nashville government to commence an armed revolt against the Government of this Republic. That is the first and foremost reason for my actions last night; the preservation of this Republic.

The day after this bill was passed, many patriotic Kansans who support Fremont and wish to join it as a fellow state were shocked that the government would make such a violent declaration of ownership over them. Accordingly, they took to the streets to protest this action. As the Attorney General informed me last night, less than an hour before I issued EO 55:02 and while making final deliberations on my response, they were met with violence and killed indiscriminately. Hearing of the massacre of Atlasian citizens, for expressing their right to free speech, I decided had to act and I acted quickly.

All of the intel provided to me, by the Department of Justice and the National Security Council, suggests that Kansan citizens continue to be the victims of violence from the Southern Government. Evidence points to any and all protests being met with execution. A report has made its way to my office, alleging that snipers and attack helicopters are being used against Pro-Fremontian protestors. A massacre is occurring in Kansas, it is outrageous, barbaric and must end. My heart aches for the victims of these senseless crimes. It is a humanitarian crisis and I will not hesitate to deploy further military resources to ensure peace and to protect innocents.

In addition, I want to say that Governor James Benson has handled the events of the past few hours quite poorly. To embrace the South and call for the Governor to intervene is an effective endorsement of more bloodshed and more destruction. For the good of the nation, he should resign.

I make a ultimatum on this day to the Southern Government, all Southern National Guardsmen must leave the state of Kansas by March 30th. If not, I will authorize the deployment of 95,000 more troops to the front line, and I will request the Attorney General to make the forceable removal of Southern troops from Kansas his primary mission. This is a peacekeeping mission, above all else. To protect to lives of Kansas and uphold the promises of our constitution and Republic, I will not hesitate to use the full force of our military. Thank you and god bless Atlasia.

I'm pretty sure Lumine said there is no deployment of the Southern militia and that reports of violence against civilians (at the hands of Southern authorities) have no basis in fact at this moment.

Also, I might add that part of Putin's excuse for invading Ukraine was to stop a genocide against ethnic Russians in Ukraine. This line of thinking coming from people who are proud "supporters" of liberal democracy is certainly disturbing.

The strongman, authoritarian approach taken by some individuals including the PPT, the AG, and the President seems highly unusual given that they brand themselves inside the game and outside of it as pro-democracy left-wingers who stand for the people. This political claim is directly contrasted with their actions in the game. Furthermore, the President's claim directly echoes Putin's claim that his invasion of Ukraine was for the Russian defense and what he initially said about his troops being in East Ukraine as peacekeepers only.

Mr. President, ignoring the Constitution now (which says Kansas is Southern) and in doing so carrying out Putin-esque actions and utilizing Putin-esque "logic" is problematic as is making light of events like 1/6 (which we saw in the left's reaction to the Southern elections in January, the implication that the left wanted to storm the state capitol in Nashville, etc.). Even in "jest," joking about unfortunate events at home and abroad is highly distasteful.

Furthermore, the President and the AG should uphold the rule of law and the President should be able to work with all of the Governors of Atlasia instead of calling on those politically opposed to him to resign. The President is also supposed to respect regional sovereignty, the rule of law, and to not support the imperial claim of one region upon another.

Executive Order 55:03

1. Executive Order 55:02 is hereby revoked.

2. WHEREAS,

Kansas is Fremontian land, Kansas is inhabited by Fremontian people, and Kansas is culturally Fremontian

The Southern legislature has approved legislation and the Southern Governor has signed legislation, S. 22.1-82, which provides for the declaration of war as a response to ambiguity over Kansas’ regional status. The enactment of this legislation creates a state of hostility between the Federal Government and the Southern Government, and creates the danger of a rebellion against the Government of the Republic of Atlasia. The existence of this legislation constitutes a conspiracy to resist legitimate, constitutional adjustments to regional boarders by means of violence, and to instigate violence against the Government of the Republic of Atlasia, the people of Fremont, and the people of Kansas.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Oregon B. Dog, President of the Republic of Atlasia, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Atlasia, including Chapter 15 of Title 10 of the United States Code, particularly sections 332, 333 and 334 thereof, do command all Southern National guardsmen or unorganized militia to desist therefrom, and to disperse forthwith from the state of Kansas.

WHEREAS the commands contained in this proclamation have not been obeyed and the law remains a Southern statue and threatens to continue, and Kansas remains under Southern jurisdiction:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Atlasia, including U.S.C Chapter 15 of Title 10, particularly Sections 332, 333 and 334 thereof, and Section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Units and members of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Atlasia will be used to maintain peace in Kansas and to quell any aggressive within the state of Kansas


Section 2. The Attorney General is authorized to use such of the Armed Forces as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of section 1, to that end by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Atlasia, I hereby authorize the Attorney General to call into the active military service of the Republic of Atlasia, as he may deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of this order, any or all of the units of the Southern National Guard to serve in the active military service of the Republic of Atlasia and for an indefinite period and until relieved by appropriate orders.
