While Admin attempted to solve numerous of issues in the nation at that time, there were many conflicts that took place, especially during the 1970s and 1980s. His first major actions included negotiating the reclamation of territories lost in earlier conflicts, securing the establishment of Rolaska in December 1967, and strengthening Robloxia’s military defense with the construction of nuclear bases like Site 7 and Area 51.
Around the 1980s, disputes with the Bacon Empire caused the Secret War. In 1968, following an attack on Baconese islands, there were numerous of problems involving military and conflicts would continue towards 1973. Also in 1968, Admin signed an amendment requiring that elections take place in years ending in 4 instead of 1. Therefore, once the 1974 election had arrived, Admin and Truth were be re-elected to a second term. During the subsequent years, Robloxia was involved in certain major battles such as the Battle of the Bombs in 1971 and the Battle of Redcliff in 1973. Despite no victory in these conflicts, Admin continued to thrive the country.

At this time, Admin also provided aid in RASA missions hoping it would go successful and worked closely with the company.
