Equatannia: Difference between revisions

President Benyne won his reelection campaigns in 1944 and 1948 before deciding to not run in the 1952 election cycle at the age of 88. January 1, 1953 brought the inauguration of the third President of Equatannia, Derek Jamaal. President Jamaal was a Representative of the southern isle of OlepautEvvisa and was the first President not from the original party in power, The Federal Party. Jamaal was a member of The Free Party, which primarily dominated among the southern Isles and along the eastern coast of Starr Peninsula. President Jamaal quickly directed funds from the budget of the national armed forces toward small-business support that began to greatly stimulate the economy over the next six years. His plans to combine socialist and capitalist ideals became increasingly popular during his first term, which lead to his reelections in 1956, 1960, and 1964. During the '60s, many pieces of legislation were barely passed to expand the powers of the federal government over the regional governments due to corruption in Greater Equatannia and dissenting views from opposing parties. The elected Regional official of Greater Equatannia, Gabrii Haj, resigned after being arrested on domestic violence and racketeering charges. Chancellor Haj was sentenced to six years in rehabilitation confinement and was also subjected to thousands of equos in fines. The legislation expanded multiple departments in an effort to further the federal government support for citizen welfare and internal trade, despite not having any foreign trade to oversee themselves. After announcing his impending resignation on June 18, 1968, President Derek Jamaal endorsed legislation that would create a National Park Department with the founding of Equatannia's first National Park in the area of Mount Friedenliebe that is located just north of Equaa.

During her first two terms, President K. Roswuud greatly expanded the funding to the Federal Assistance Department and Department of Education, while officially establishing the Department of Infrastructure in 1999. the turn of the century brought much excitement to the nation, which lead Roswuud to win her first reelection bid with 71% of the vote. She helped expand voter rights protections in late 2000 and established multiple Discrimination Departments throughout the nation to help combat the little prejudice that existed. In 2002, she opened the first federally funded addiction rehabilitation center in east Equaa, which eventually lead to others opening in Freebelsta and OlepautEvvisa by 2004.
