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."
On December 9, 1980, a man claiming to be a member of the nationalist group Freetania used an illegal sniper rifle to assassinate President Gulland during a public appearance in

=== Government ===
Equatannia is a constitutional presidential republic, with direct representation in the executive and legislative branches of government. The executive branch is made up of the President, Vice President, and Cabinet of Ministers. The legislative branch is made up of the nation's Congress, which has two assemblies: The People's Assembly and The Regional. The People's Assembly holds seats for 150 Representatives that are elected in four-year terms, while The Regional only has three seats, one for each government region. The judicial branch of government is headed by The Supreme Court of Equatannia and is enforced through six separate lower federal courts throughout the nation. The Equatannian Constitution is a culmination of processes and departments formed by ''The Internal Ambition'', multiple President's actions, and the first two pieces of legislation passed by The People's Assembly

Equatannia is incredibly federalized, with regional governments only tasked with approving and enforcing the federal law. Regional assemblies do not formally exist, as no regional legislation would be viewed as legitimate legislation by the federal government. Multiple villages in the northern plains retain more autonomy than other communities in the nation, but are still forced to abide by federal laws regarding every category of issue except trade. Government elections are held on the Federal Holiday of every fourth year, December 5.
