Ministry of Alex Parkland

Alex Parkland's tenure as the 15th Minister of the Robloxian Republic begun with his inauguration on September 3rd, 2022, after defeating incumbent Minister Natalie O'Brien, who was running for a third term, in the 2022 Robloxian ministerial election. He was re-elected to a second term in office in the 2023 Robloxian ministerial election, defeating Democratic former governor Harold Bentsen.
== Domestic policy ==
=== Guns ===
Parkland delivered on his promise to repeal the Enough is Enough Act, a bill signed during the O'Brien administration that imposed many restrictions on gun purchases in the Robloxian Republic. After the repeal, he stated a "less-strict" version of the bill will be proposed under him.
This was eventually also delivered on, as Parkland signed a bill that banned those with mental illnesses from purchasing guns. All other restrictions were reversed and were not reinstated.
=== Immigration ===
Parkland also fought against the Pathway to Citizenship Act, the bill signed under O'Brien that decreased immigration requirements. Parkland had the bill reversed, and later reinstated all of the "tough on illegal immigration" decrees made under the Ministry of Jamie Waiters. Parkland declined Waiters' request to build a wall.
=== LGBTQ+ rights ===
Parkland rolled back the funding for pro-LGBTQ+ rights groups and Planned Parenthoods imposed by the Robloxian Better Plan Act, and publicly denounced the Respect & Recognization for Human Rights Act. Parkland declined pushing for a repeal of the legislation, but stated that if the option reaches him, he "would reverse it as soon as possible".
== Foreign policy ==
=== Ministerial Order #0001 ===
In his first act on September 3rd, 2022, Parkland signed a Ministerial Order which banned the exportation of Robloxian oil and other goods to Growtopia, Trove, and Terraria, stating that "those who sided with the men and women who fought to rip away at the rights of millions deserve no goods from us" and raised the price of Robloxian oil by 18% for Watch Dogs and Minecraft, not banning the exportation there but raising the cost. He also stated that "countries shouldn't rely on other countries for goods they can easily produce themselves."
=== Withdrawal from the Anti-War Pact ===
On December 29, 2022, after checking with Terraria and Minecraft, Parkland effectively withdrew the Robloxian Republic from the Anti-War Pact, a pact made in February 2022 during Natalie O'Brien's term as Minister that would prevent trade thievery and unjustified war against ally of an ally. Parkland dropped Roblox from the pact after Congress passed a war declaration on Growtopia.
== War with Growtopia ==
=== Declaration of War ===
On December 27, 2022, Parkland hinted the public that he intends on putting Roblox at war with Growtopia in a "fight to expand our land". Later that night, Parkland sent a letter to Speaker Roland Manchester and Vice Minister Alan Wahlberg that a declaration of war is to be introduced in Congress the next day. On December 28, Parkland authored a declaration of war treaty and sent it to Congress for evaluation. On December 29, Congress passed the declaration of war. The House passed it 8-2, with Rep. Bacon and Rep. Ford opposed, and the Senate passed it 9-1, with only Sen. Jasonson opposed.
