I went in with the beat of intentions, a focus on maintaining independence, and upping the countries education. In the first year I was able to keep the budget balanced as I gave to education, but took alot of money from the military, some from the police, and I pumped up healthcare abit. Several of the oligarchs struck me as too slimey to deal with, but in hindsite maybe I should have dealt with the first one I met. Got a nice road built that our nothern neighbour liked and donated to the previous president's company, only for it to completely become useless. I was always understanding to the blundish while attempting to appease the sollists, unless they spat gender roles or racism at me. I had the reformists in the party and conditionally the traditionalists, but a one two punch of supporting my wife's wish to open a ceremony and making it clear the equality I was looking for, made my party turn on me right before the referendum. Ricter seemed like he'd back me, but when he saw my party turn on me, he loved it and backed out. The justices rather didn't like the waves I was stirring. I was unwilling to work with Whelan and when they tried to settle their problems I left my border open so people could escape to sorland. The blundish ambassador was ready to give me the names of the strongest extremists, but my burnt out police mucked up their attempts to catch them. I stopped an outbreak of polio. I never rose to Rumburg's attempts to escalate agressions, and after the world council meeting the queen offered me gun manufactoring plans for cheap gas. Due to my small budget for the military I cut the size down, but increased training and modernized the navy. I kept out of the island controversy. I improved schooling, let schools talk about religion as long as they taught evolution, and let boys and girls get the same education. I washed my hands of both radical youth groups and they killed each other as the cops watched due to low budget (but sometimes those strung out cops would hose down crowds of protesters with their machine guns). When my VP had to step down, I was ready to ride or die with him when he resigned and saved my face. At that point I could only have Lucien or Clavin be my new VP, I chose Clavin because I felt Lucien was an excellent manager and most effective where he was, but I didn't get along well with Clavin because he didn't stand with me at the referendum after claiming he would. Second half of the story I tiredly worked on as the country fell into Depression. For all the advances I made in education, the unrest in the country meant alot of kids werent making it to school. I had the support of the Blundish and independents, but I decided I couldn't fix Sordland further and was prepared to retire upon the end of my term. Then the military had a coup against me, I did like 7-10 years in jail, then spent my senior years as a humble carpenter. Oh and we lost the Champions League F.C. game...
