The governorship of Ron Paul began on March 4, 1717, when he was inaugurated as the 1st Governor-General of the United States of North Aegea. A former flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force from 1663 to 1668, Ron Paul was elected on November 8, 1716, the first Governor-General of the United States, and the first head of government under the new Federal Constitution that went into effect earlier in the Year.
As Governor-General, Paul saw the United States through the final stages of the reorganization of the United States from a highly-centralized quasi-federation –in which the States were largely powerless– into a highly-decentralized supranational Fœderal Union —in which the member States are the preeminent and plenary sovereigns, and where the federal Government is kept restrained within its express delegation of Power; and where both the State and Federal governments are powerful and supreme within their respective fields of competence.

Foreign policy[edit | edit source]
Shortly after taking office, Governor-General Paul directed Attorney-General Ted Cruz to inquire whether it was constitutional for the Federal government to be engaging in foreign Aid. Attorney-General Cruz discovered that, in fact, the Government of the United States was not permitted to grant aid or otherwise spend the taxpayers’ money on Things that do not further “the common Defence or the general Weal of the United States.” In fact, Cruz found, the United States cannot spend even a penny from the Federal Treasury if it does not go towards the “common Defence or general Weal of the United States,” which means that not only is the United States Government not allowed to spend on foreign aid, it cannot even spend for foreigners residing within the United States, or even appropriate money out of the Federal Treasury for local or special projects. However, under the Constitution Treaty, while the Federal Government cannot do these Things, the States can. As a result, the Paul Administration ordered an end to all foreign Aid by the federal Government of the United States, while at the same time encouraged the States to create their own foreign Aid programs.
One of Paul’s first actions upon taking office was to undertake the repair of relations with the United Commonwealths of Canada, which were greatly damaged by the Underwood Regime.

Domestic policies[edit | edit source]

Gun policy[edit | edit source]
One of Governor-General Paul’s first actions after taking office was to notify the USKO that the United States, pending total withdrawal from the Arms Trade Treaty, would consider all citizens of the several United States as members of the militia, and as such, members of a State-actor military force, thus rendering the ATT’s civilian gun restrictions irrelevant. This announcement led to massive protests by the USKO and many of its member States, claiming that the United States were violating “human rights” and “international law”. Furthermore, according to a joint decision by the Paul Administration and the United States Federal Council, the United States, in addition to their permanent withdrawal from the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), they would also announced they would roll back the policies put in place by Frank Underwood to implement the ATT, much to the great anger of the USKO. Included in the roll back were the repeal of gun registration requirements; the repeal of the limits on the number and type of firearms that civilians may own (automatic weapons excepted); the repeal of all licensing requirements; and the destruction of the numerous databases of firearm owners in the United States. Furthermore, the United States also decided that they would no longer allow USKO or other foreign actors access to the few firearms records that would be retained by the States (also much to the great anger of the USKO). In addition, the Governor-General and the Federal Council decided to cease including any and all so-called “gun control” NGOs in any possible future foreign aid omnibus package.
Governor-General Paul stated that firearms offenses, gun violence, and crime control generally, are, under the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States, exclusively-State matters, to be addressed solely by the people at the State-level. He also stated that, internationally, “[i]t is not appropriate for the United States or any of them to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries,” which, according to him, included “taking any side in any internal matter related to crime or violence in any foreign State.” Furthermore, in his inaugural State of the Union address to the United States Congress, Paul opined that “any interference or meddling in the domestic Affairs of the United States, or any of them, by any foreign State or Power, or Agent thereof, would not be tolerated by this Government or the Government of any of the united States […] and, to this end, the Federal Council have directed that any foreign State or Power, or Agent thereof, that violates this directive will be disciplined accordingly[.]”
Reorganization of the Union[edit | edit source]
In his inaugural State of the Union address, Governor-General Paul declared the state of the Union to be “greatly damaged,” and recommended the Congress enact suitable Measures to address and resolve the problems carrying over from the Underwood regime, including:
- Repeal of portions of the United States Code that embrace Matters coming within the Classes of Subjects in which the United States have Power to legislate, to be replaced by a new codification of Federal law, namely the United States Revised Statutes; and transfer jurisdiction to the States respectively the portions of the United States Code that touch upon Matters that either come within the Classes of Subjects on which the States are reserved Power to legislate, or any and all other Matters not directly coming within the Classes of Subjects on which the United States have been expressly delegated Power to legislate.[1]
- Abolishment of the system of Federal Courts as existed under the previous Constitution, and establishing an United States Federal Court to replace the United States Supreme Court; and the jurisdiction of the abolished lower federal Courts would be transferred to the Courts of the respective States, as envisioned by the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States
- Massive decentralization of Power, culminating with the States as the plenary Powers in the Union; but, at the same time, the Union would remain plenary within its express Powers.
- Enact a major reorganization of the federal Treasury, and replace the Federal Reserve System with a United States Federal Bank, subject to regular audits by the United States Federal Council and Congress
- Repeal all federal Regulations not in complete comport with the Constitution Treaty.
- Replace the numerous federal law enforcement and intelligence Agencies with the Fœderal Security Bureau (FSB) and the Fœderal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI), respectively. The States can (and are encouraged to) establish their own intelligence Agencies in addition to their respective law enforcement Agencies.
- Replace so-called “cooperative” (read: coercive) federalism with collaborative federalism, in which the Union and the States are each supreme within their respective fields of Competence (as in dual federalism), and the States and the Union collaborate with each other as equal partners to achieve jointly-desired results.
- Recognize the United States Federal Council as the collective head of state of the United States.
- Fully restore to the people of the respective united States their Rights as natural-born (and naturalized) North Aegeans.

- ↑ This meaans that, under Governor-General Paul’s recommendations, the United States Code (insofar as relates to the express legislative Competence of the United States) would be repealed; and in and for each State the United States Code (insofar as to the reserved Powers of the States and all other Powers not delegated to the United States nor prohibited by the Constitution Treaty to the States) would be transferred to the jurisdiction of the State Legislature to revise or repeal at their leisure.
