This is a compilation of contributions. You are allowed to be President (or Leader) of your country for one day. In that day you need to make a new law - it could be anything, but it must be obeyed for 365 days from the day that it was "published" on this page.

List of 100 ACTS
Day 1: Every person in the country must pray twice a day for the President,
and for his or her other leaders - 19/7 - Hansie
Law 2: There will be a new tax in the country called EFTT - for Electronic Fund Transfer Tax. It will be levied on all electronic transfers or electronic payments. It will replace all other taxes and will be levied at 1% in the first year. It will replace all other taxes. - 20/7 - Hansie
Law 3: A Suspended Death Penalty will be imposed. For certain crimes committed against people a death penalty will be imposed that will be suspended for a period of 40 years provided that the guilty party does not enter the country again. The guilty will be banned from the country for a period of 40 years. - 21/7 - Hansie
Law 4 of 100: 10 minutes of "walking" daily. Everybody in the country should "walk" for at least ten minutes a day. A jog or run would also qualify for a "walk". If you are in a wheelchair, then it is ten minutes under your own steam in the wheelchair. If you only move 10 cm in the 10 minutes, it is fine, but you have to do ten minutes every day and then challenge someone else to do it as well. My prayer is that the 10 minutes will grow your discipline and your body! 22/7 - Hansie
Law 5 of 100: Asking "what"and "how"daily at least once. Every person in the country over the age of seven should ask the "what"and "how"question daily. This will replace "why"questions eventually. The question "why I am a slow runner or walker"?" will be replaced by "how do I become a fast runner or walker? or by "What do I need to do to become a fast walker or runner?" How and What will solve more problems much faster than the why question. 23/7 - Hansie
Law 6 of 100: Every religious organisation or group must encourage and inspire their members to do one practical good deed every day to show their commitment to and compassion for the people of the country. 24/7 - Hansie
Law 7 of 100: Every person in the country over 18 years of age must register as a voter. Ideally every person in the country should be required to vote to have an impact in the country. That would be the ideal law. The first step should just be to make it compulsory to register. Then it is the job of the citizens to convince people to go and vote on election day. No one should not be able to use the excuse that of non-registration as a reason not to vote. 25/7 - Hansie
Law 8 of 100: Place four (4) million people in security forces. There will be four million people working in this sector. 1 million will be in permanent employment and the other three million will be employed on a contract basis over a four-year period.

One million will be trained for 12 to 24 months to engage in a business or a job where they will earn a good income once they have left the security forces. One million will be placed where required and will do training to increase their skills and knowledge when not otherwise engaged. 26/7 - Hansie

Law 11 of 100: for any court order where a default judgement is obtained that was done "incorrectly" or "by mistake" or "fraudulently" a compensation of five times the amount of the legal fees shall be paid to the defendant who needed to get legal counsel to reverse the judgement - payable as follows - one fifth by the responsible person bringing the "work to a competent attorney to fulfil", one fifth by the competent attorney, three fifths by the organisation or individual who brought the case. If the individual (defendant) did the work personally to rescind the judgement a payment of 30 hours at the rate of a senior attorney will be deemed to be the amount of fees that can be claimed (as legal fees).
