'''Dominika Maya Murray''' (née '''Muverovich'''; born June 27th, 1970) is a Wealdenite politician and author who has served as the leader of the Unionist Party since 2023.
'''Dominika Maya Murray''' (née '''Muverovich'''; born June 27th, 1970) is a Cappedorite politician, diplomat, writer, and photographer who has served as [[Chancellor of Cappedore|Chancellor]] of [[Cappedore]] since June 2018. She has been Member of the Gemotern for [[Phoenix (Cappedore town)|Phoenix]], [[Thomaria]], since 2009. During her premiership, she has faced major problems with [[Separatism in Thomaria|Thomarian seperatists]], especially in her current town of residence, where she has lived for over 20 years. Murray is Cappedore's first female Chancellor, and is the first woman to have held more than three of the Great Offices of State since former president [[Mary Jane Revie]].

Murray grew up in Ivyland and attended Blackpool Grammar School after having moved away from Nassau at the age of four. After finishing a full two years of sixth form there, she went on to study Politics at [[Chepstow University]] in [[Shinrarta]]. After graduating in 1991, she worked at the [[Bank of Cappedore]] and the [[Association for Payment Clearing Services]]. She also served as a councillor for Ulysi in Shinrarta. After two unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the [[Gemotern]], she was elected as the MG for Phoenix after a by-election in the constituency, and has held a strong majority since. From 2010 to 2018, Murray held several roles in the cabinets of [[Cleveland Durand]] and [[Ken Yates]] respectively. She was also Chairman of the [[Cappedore Social Democratic Party|Social Democratic Party]] from 2011 to 2015.

Following [[2009 Cappedore government crisis|the formation]] of the [[Welfare Coalition (Cappedore)|coalition government]] following the [[2010 Cappedore general election|2010 general election]], Murray was appointed Minister of State for Transport and later Chairman but gave up her first role in 2011. She soon became the [[Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Cappedore)|Secretary of Foreign Affairs]] following the CSDP and CLU's narrow election victory in 2015. During her tenure she pursued reform of Cappedorite foreign affairs policy, implemented a more liberal line of immigration policy including the inclusion of lesser recognised religions in national visa applications. She also oversaw the introduction of an elected Board of Foreign Affairs, the deportation of [[Kiaran Graves]] in a joint effort with the [[Ministry of National Affairs (Cappedore)|Ministry of National Affairs]] and the creation of the College of Immigration and Human Migration. Murray opposed the unsuccessful Isles Out of The Union campaign for the [[United Isles]] to leaved the [[Cappedore|United Republic]], which failed after losing the [[2017 United Isles Seperation Referendum]].

Murray stood the CSDP leadership election to succeed [[Ken Yates]], who resigned after it was discovered that he was supporting the trafficking of illegal substances into Cappedore after the release of the [[Slade Inquiry]]. She instantly began the process of integrating the United Isles with the United Republic, triggering Article 100 in June 2018. The same month, she announced a [[2018 Cappedore general election|snap general election]], with the hopes of clearing the CSDP's name and reassuring the people that the party didn't reflect the mistakes of Yates.

Murray was born in [[Nassau]], [[Greater Ivyland]], on June 27th, 1970, to former Federal Councillor and member of the Administrative Council [[Alexander Muverovich|Alexander Nikolai Muverovich]] and Olivia-Jane Duffy, a local lawyer and probate soilictor from [[Elizabeta]]. Being born in a political household, Murray often found it difficult to escape political ongoings and happenings, and she rarely saw her father, so for the majority of her childhood and early teenage years, she would be living with her mother.

Greatly affected by the sudden death of her mother, Murray became closed off and quiet, and faced additional stress when she had to consistently move around with her father.
