I've added another plank, this time on gambling, arguing that it should be both legal and private rather than operated by the government.

I've added a plank on Agriculture, which follows a style I intend to convert the rest of the platform to as I get to it as it specifies the constitutional basis for each plank.

Agriculture
1. Under clause 3 of the Constitutional powers of the Senate, the government should insure that all agricultural products imported into Atlasia meet the standards of domestic products and work to ensure that foreign markets do not discriminate against Atlasian products.
2. Under clause 4 of the Constitutional powers of the Senate, the government should abrogate all Regional and local standards for Agricultural products, except those that serve to inform consumers of the area the product was grown or raised.
3. Under clause 9 of the Constitutional powers of the Senate, the government should establish standards for Atlasian agricultural products and conduct such inspections as may be needed to ensure that such standards are followed.
4. Under clause 12 of the Constitutional powers of the Senate,  the government should sponsor agricultural research, focusing on developing agricultural practices and products that require less fertilization, irrigation, and energy use than current practices.
5. Under clause 14 of the Constitutional powers of the Senate, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service should be revitalized and placed on an equal footing with the Public Health Service as a uniformed service.
6. Under clause 15 of the Constitutional powers of the Senate, the government should develop best practices in agricultural education and ensure their use by sponsoring programs at the land-grant universities to produce educators certified to teach agricultural subjects in the secondary schools.

Do you realize that the price of gold has shot up to the point where the coinage standard advocated in this platform now barely has any seignorage at all  (33 1/3g .900 Au  ≈  0.965 troy oz. pure gold)?

Is that good or bad?

Well I'd intended the gold there to be a safety net, not to actually place us on the gold standard immediately.  On the other hand $1000 coins aren't exactly practical for today's electronic economy.
