Authorizes a commission to update Southern laws

[Joseph Cao]

Desperately needed imo, our wiki is vastly out of date and we need to update it.

I would recommend Lincoln, Fremont, and the Federal Government update their portions as well.

Will sign this into law happily.

Pyro has the Lincoln stuff ready to hand, I’m sure we can update ours as and when needed.
