==Political career==
During the [[
During the [[Auroran-Pacific War]] Barvata criticised Johannes for two major things; his "use of soldiers like cannon fodder", a very controversial comment that put Barvata in the spotlight of Morstaybishlian politics, and Johannes' handling of the fragmentation of the two Ethalrian nations which put their successor states into a period of recession. Soon thereafter in August 2017 he won the Labour Leader Election. Criticising Johannes on many accounts since the war, Barvata called a motion of no confidence in September 2017 but it failed to reach a majority of seats in the house. When the next election came around, Barvata campaigned across all four constituent countries and put more effort in his campaigning than both Walter Johannes and Paddy Lukamortz combined, later going on to win the [[2019 Great Morstaybishlia General Election]] with Labour netting 910 seats.
===Premiership===
Barvata's first hurdle in office came with [[Kyrloth]]. Their annexation of Izria saw the Embask oil rigs off the coast of the Undirnor and Slodhir Islands unlawfully and illegally signed away by King Tegura IV to [[Sinter Tass]], which sparked controversy and outrage. Barvata failed to negotiate with Tass and the later sent a blockade of corvettes to the oil rigs. Norgsveltian Prime Minister Sverdrup hosted a meeting between Tass, Barvata and Kuthern leaders. In the meanwhile one of the oil rigs was blown up on order of Artun Sotarikos and sunk the destroyer MBS ''Dovia''. The incident was known as the The [[Lion of Taren Incident]], and in the Osfjord Summit Barvata pressured Sinter Tass's government to pay a sum of 20 billion Kiribs (5% of their GDP) for the oil rigs and in compensation. Barvata later sacked Secretary of State for Foreign and Oversea Territory Affairs Janietta Rubis from the cabinet for her poor handling of the situation, replacing her with [[Ron Wehrasbi]].
In May Barvata flew to Fargo and signed an agreement with President Hanlon to politically isolate Alyunthia in an attempt to demonise the matriarchal ideology that governed the nation. Barvata insinuated that the MBE would remain neutral, unlike [[Rufuina]], who had declared hostilities.
Attempting to resolve the differences between Great Morstaybishlia, [[Meremaa]] and [[Norgsveldet]] left behind from the [[Meremaa Civil War]], Barvata arranged a summit between himself, [[Johanna Sverdrup]] and Njord II in Riberoe, the capital of [[Dalmaghar]]. The leaders signed the Riberoe Pact; a non-aggression treaty and delimitation of the Sjøguds Sea, effectively ending a 26 year dispute over the Exclusive Economic Zone of Lanis Island, where Norgsveldet and Great Morstaybishlia have claims on.
