==== The Gulland Presidency and Assassination ====
[[File:Nuuvari aerial.jpg|alt=|thumb|Aerial view of downtown
President Banjohn was the first President to lose a reelection campaign after conceding to her Federal Party opponent Jermine Gulland in the 1976 elections. Fifth President Gulland riddled his campaign with brutal attacks on Banjohn regarding her lack of immediate response to the Feebelsta Primary School shooting and her lack of action toward various far-left extremist groups that had begun recruiting in Equatannia's poorer neighborhoods. Banjohn was alloted the Vice President slot regardless of Gulland's attacks due to her second-place finish in the general election. President Gulland launched campaigns of non-violent attacks on the extremist groups throughout the late 1970s, which greatly affected their recruitment efforts and political influence. He then halted the federal buyback program of assault weapons after pressure from various Cabinet members that were "personal-defense advocates."
