Nevran Alandar assumed the office of Prime Minister after her predecessor resigned to serve as Secretary-General of the [[International Forum]]. 46 years old at the time of her election, she is the youngest woman to serve as Prime Minister of Tavaris. She is also noted as an Aldanic Games gold medalist in volleyball; she and her team took home the gold at the 1992 Summer Aldanic Games held in [[Nuvrenon]]. Nevran Alandar was 17 years old at the time. She also competed at the 1994 Summer Aldanic Games in Stromharad, [[Asendavia]].
 
==Early Life==
 
Nevran Alandar was raised by her parents, Nari and Daronal Nevran Alandar, in Nakaš, a city in southeastern AcronisTavaris on the opposite side of the Strait of Kings from the capital, Zaram[[Nuvrenon]]. Her father was a teacher, while her mother was at that time an elected member the NakašIno Province provincialLegislative legislatureCouncil. Her mother, Nari Nevran Alandar, would later be elected to the national Diet and serve as a member of the Cabinet. Žarís was known for being athletic in school, in particular playing football (soccer) and volleyball. With Nevran Alandar on the team, her secondary school Nakaš AkronistCountry HighDay SchoolAcademy won the national volleyball championships in 1992 and 1993.
 
For university, Nevran Alandar attended the University of the Aequator, a small, private liberal-arts university, on an athletic scholarship, where she played volleyball all four years while studying for a degree in economics. She graduated in 1997 with honors. Upon graduating, she began her mandatory 3-year period of conscription in the Royal AcronianTavari Armed Forces. She served in the Royal AcronianTavari Air Force as a military police officer, spending the majority of her conscription at Sinajärv Air Base in Rodoka. After her service, she worked as a volleyball coach at the University of the Aequator from 2000 until 2005, winning national collegiate championships in 2001 and 2002. From 2005 until her election to the Diet in 2012, she worked as a policy analyst and later fellow at the Tavari Institute for Economics, a think tank associated with the Democratic National Party.
 
==Member of the Diet==
 
Žarís' mother Nari passed away suddenly in April of 2012. At the time of her passing, Nari was the leader of Remembrancethe DNP, then in opposition, and had been in the Diet for more than 20 years. A major force in AcronianTavari politics at the time, Nari Nevran Alandar's death made national news and, as the leader of the opposition, was afforded a state funeral. A by-election was held for the seat in June of 2012. Žarís was nominated by Remembrancethe DNP to stand as the party's candidate in the by-election to replace her late mother. NakašLine WestNevran was believed to be a somewhat-safe seat for Remembrancethe DNP, but party leadership felt their chances would be better if the name ''Nevran Alandar'' continued to be on the ballot, and the Nodri Randai Doranan Liberal-Green government of the time was viewed to be weak and destined for an early election. Žarís was expected to only hold the seat for a short time as a "caretaker." [[Shano Tuvria]] would replace her mother as Leader of the Opposition.
 
However, Žarís proved to be an able political strategist and has remained in the seat since her election. In 2014, she was made Shadow Minister of Rodokan Affairs, and a year later was named Shadow Minister of International Trade and Development, the department her mother had served in as Minister between 1994 and 1999. As the topic has long been a personal interest of hers, and formed the central plank in her campaign to be Prime Minister, she kept the portfolio even fter becoming Prime Minister, being the first PM to also serve in that role at the same time.▼
 
==2016-2017 Leadership Spill and Election==
 
In August of 2016, the then-leader of Remembrance, Talvar Rendri Maktovan, was arrested and charged with embezzlement of funds. He was alleged to have taken more than 750,000 Našdat from the Acronian Cerebral Palsy Foundation, a charity on whose board of directors he served, and was later convicted. The Liberal Party was in government at the time, under Prime Minister Aniríl Dravana Niktat. However, it was a minority government widely seen as unstable, and therefore there was significant interest in the position of Leader of Remembrance. No fewer than 38 people, including Nevran Alandar, declared themselves candidate for the position.
 
Due to the massive number of candidates, no single candidate shared support across the entire party. There was significant acrimony and tension during the leadership election, which was described by the ''Times of Zaram'' as "nothing but a mud-slinging gossip-fest of destructive rumors and even more destructive truths." Several people viewed as leading candidates were eventually eliminated as opponents dug up scandalous histories on each other. It was not until the 15th round of voting that Nevran Alandar's name was raised as a "compromise" candidate. While Nevran Alandar was widely known as a member of the "centrist camp" of Remembrance, by the 15th round of election essentially every member of the party's right wing had been defeated. It would take three more rounds until, in the 18th round, Nevran Alandar was elected Leader of Remembrance and became, like her mother before her, Leader of the Opposition.
 
Aniríl Dravana Niktat's Liberal minority government collapsed on January 2nd of 2017 (notably, on Nevran Alandar's birthday) when the Prime Minister's budget was defeated in the Diet, an automatic vote of no confidence. Despite Dravana Niktat's weak position in Parliament, opinion polls at the time showed a slight lead for the Liberals. Nevran Alandar, the youngest Leader of the Opposition in Acronian history, was not widely expected to win the election. She and the party centered the campaign around developing international trade and diplomacy and ending the last of Acronis' lingering isolationism. Nevran Alandar herself coined the party's slogan that year, "Look Outward and Upward." Remembrance also swore, before the election and during the campaign, to form a coalition with the Socialist Party for Democracy (at that time named "The People First"). In a surprise victory, the Remembrance-SPD coalition won, making Nevran Alandar the Prime Minister.
 
==Prime Minister==
 
As Prime Minister, Nevran Alandar first tackled international diplomacy by launching and completing negotiations for the [[Alliance of Northwest Gondwana]], a regional economic bloc. The ANG would formally begin operations in 2018. She also prioritized bilateral trade agreements with other countries, and during her time in office has launched new agreements with [[Aivintis]], [[Durakia]], [[Grindoligarch]], and [[Sokala]]. Diplomatically, Nevran Alandar increased the level of military support Acronis gives to the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]], sending Acronian troops to [[Rodenia]] and [[Alksearia]] to participate in UCA-led military operations. After the coup in [[Ni-Rao]] in 2020, she declared that Acronian troops would enter the country to support the government of the Empress and the Grand Vizier, declaring it the "legitimately elected and legitimately serving" government of the country, over the Communist [[Ni-Rao (Raonite PDR)|Raonite People's Democratic Republic]] in the South.
 
▲However, Žarís proved to be an able political strategist and has remained in the seat since her election. In 2014, she was made Shadow Minister of Rodokan Affairs, and a year later was named Shadow Minister of International Trade and Development, the department her mother had served in as Minister between 1994 and 1999.

Under Nevran Alandar, a significant thaw in relations occurred between Acronis and the [[Tavari Union]]. The two countries agreed to "normalize" relations, meaning opening embassies and naming official ambassadors, after the Tavari Union admitted [[Tavari Union#Bana|Bana]] and [[Tavari Union#New Rania|New Rania]] as member-states in 2020. The Tavari Union also joined the ANG, including - like Acronis - membership in the [[Alliance of Northwest Gondwana#Alliance Free Travel Area|Alliance Free Travel Area]]. The thaw in relations has been the most divisive action of Nevran Alandar's so far, with strong public opinions both in support and in opposition. The largest political demonstration of the 21st century, a rally in front of the Tavari embassy that saw tens of thousands declare their anger about the thaw, significantly hampered Nevran Alandar's hopes to bring the Tavari Union diplomatically closer, and formal talks with the Tavari have since ceased. Tensions are also known to be high in the coalition, with the SPD in strong opposition to Nevran Alandar's military operation against the Communists in Ni-Rao. However, Nevran Alandar remains more popular than unpopular, with an average approval rating of 59% approval as of December, 2020.
 
==Personal Life==
 
Nevran Alandar is unmarried and has no children. She has been famously coy about her personal life and hasvery neverrarely directly answeredanswers any public questions about her relationship status. On December 23rd, 2020, she announced at a press briefing that she is a "proud lesbian woman" and that she had entered into a relationship with her former Chief of Security, Linai Nakana Modrovai, a retired veteran of the Royal Tavari Army and disability rights advocate. She and Nakana Modrovai married in a civil ceremony attended only by close family on July 12th, 2021; Linai took the names Nevran Alandar upon the marriage. She has two pet ferrets, the first ever such animals to live at 300 King DavrasZaram Avenue, named Marshmallow and Marzipan. She is known to be fond of wine from the [[Benesuolo]] region of Volscinia.
 
Nevran Alandar is known to be fluent in AcronianTavari, Acronian Sign Language, and [[wikipedia:English|Staynish]], and she is said to be very skilled in [[wikipedia:Estonian language|Rodokan]], which she picked up during her military career. She also plays the saxophone. She is a 12th cousin, once removed, of [[Vana Dandreal]], the 37th and current Matron of the [[Akronism|Church of Akrona]]. Through an earlier ancestor, also shared with the Matron, she is also a 13th cousin once removed of King Zaram V.
