Ministry of Ian Cockerel

Ian Cockerel's tenure as the 2nd minister of the Robloxian Republic began after his inauguration on September 3, 2008 and ended on September 3, 2009. Cockerel entered office amid the construction of Roblox. He built off of Randall Flowers work in making the Natives feel more welcome in Roblox as they were still experiencing severe racism.
== Attempting peace between the Confederates and the Natives ==
Cockerel constantly made attempts to bring peace between the Confederacy and the Natives in Roblox.
=== Native-Confederate Peace Deal of 2008 ===
On September 9, 2008, Cockerel brought forward a peace deal between the leader of the Confederacy and the leader of the Natives. The confederate leader declined it all 4 times that Cockerel attempted.
=== Native-Confederate Peace Order ===
Due to the confederates and natives constantly fighting and rejecting any peace deals, Cockerel issued an order of peace and tried ceasing their attempts to kill each other over and over. This order worked for about 8 days before chaos broke back out.
== Giving the Natives a safe place ==
After the large tensions getting worse and worse because of Cockerel's failing attempts to achieve peace between the two, Cockerel had to improvise.
=== Admission of the Native Islands into the Union ===
Cockerel made the ministerial order on December 30, 2008 to admit the Native Islands into Roblox as a state. The Native Islands became a safe place for Natives, and nobody who wasn't native was allowed to enter the state until 2017 when Minister Jamie Waiters reversed part of the order.
== Combatting the Confederacy ==
Cockerel made many attempts to fight the Confederacy.
=== Abolition of the Confederate Army and Establishing the Robloxian Armed Forces ===
On February 3, 2009, Cockerel created and sponsored his own bill which he had proposed by a Democratic senator which would abolish the Confederate Army and establish Roblox's own armed forces, since Roblox's military was still known as the Confederate Army. The proposition was passed and the Confederate Army was abolished.
=== Attempted abolition of voting rights for all Confederate members ===
On March 15, 2009, cockerel attempted to abolish voting rights for all members of the Confederacy or any confederate factions. While the bill was awaiting adoption from the House Majority Leader, it was challenged at the Supreme Court and overruled by a vote of 6-0.
=== Defunding Confederate schools ===
On April 29, 2009, Cockerel issued a directive to the Department of Education that would defund all schools who deny education to Natives and/or those owned by members of the Confederacy. This directive was not challenged and stayed active until the Confederacy was abolished by Emile Anderson.
== Granting natives things that they didn't originally have ==
Cockerel wanted to make natives feel as if they matter too even more.
=== Banning schools from denying natives education ===
Cockerel issued an order on May 14 that banned all schools from denying native children education. By June 18, all schools accepted native children, but this bolstered racism in schools.
