On the cold morning of Federation Day, September 2, 1964, Jalo R. SIinkar took the oath of office. After the tumultuous events of previous year, and the tense political situation in both chambers of the Saekari, Siinkar realized the importance of ensuring that his inaugural address would reach out to both his supporters and opponents. In the days and weeks before it was to be delivered, he carefully studied famous speeches, such as the Declaration of Federalization, and copied their terse, vivid style. In the speech, he focused almost exclusively on domestic problems such as rapid inflation, unemployment. In addition, he claimed that his election signaled a fundamental generational shift in Mirhaime:<blockquote>''"We observe today not a victory of an individual, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change . . . Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Mirhaimians—born in this century, tempered by the constant threats of war's desolation, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.”''</blockquote>And he recalled the Federation's origins:<blockquote>''“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear in burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of the Mirhaimian people.”''</blockquote>Siinkar surrounded himself with liberal academics and, in light of the support he had gained, moderate conservatives who believed in the benefits of strong executive government, rational planning, and social science. The "New Frontiersmen," an exclusive group of young, wealthy professionals, streamed into Loren'ka's administrative sector, adding to the tone of an Eryas Palace seeking advice from the nation's finest and brightest.
Domestically, Siinkar presided over the worst economy since the start of the century with growing inflation and an economic recession prior to his inauguration. And as such, early in his first term as Paragon, Siinkar began implementing new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economics policies—colloquially referred to as "Doika" (Renovation)—advocated tax reduction, economic deregulation, and reduction in government spending. The four pillars of Siinkar's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation. He was also a major advocate for nationwide educational reforms which culminated in the Ovon Act which improved teachers' wages, and provide support to children with disabilitites, or those who live near or under the poverty line regardless of race, income, disability, ethnicity, or proficiency in Fefsen. The Act allowed for improved educational quality on public schools in districts with a majority non-Fefsen population, and allowed for enough flexibility for them to adapt within the boundaries of federally-established standards.
Over his first term from 1964 to 1969, the economy saw a reduction of inflation from 12.5% to 2.4% and an average real GDP annual growth of 4.6% (compared to the negative growth prior to 1963). Reagan enacted cuts in domestic discretionary spending, cut taxes, and pushed for a reorganization program of the Realm Defence Forces which improved bureaucratic efficiency, and eliminated the need for an increase in budget even through the additional deployment of Mirhaimian forces in Sarvimaa throughout the 1960s. The national debt was also lowered by 38% from 1964 to 1969,
Thus, by the end of his first term, the economic recession which had griped Mirhaime for over a decade was practically no more as the Mirhaimian economy begun to see growth for the first time since 1958. This revival of the economy, lowering of inflation, and reduction of taxes ultimately won him yet another landslide victory in his re-election campaigns of 1969, and 1974. According to a poll conducted by the group ''Zaral,'' approval ratings for Siinkar throughout all four of his terms averaged around an astounding 93%.

=== Foreign relations ===
Mirhaime's current foreign policy is to consistently implement a policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, co-operation, and development, as well openness, diversification, multilateralisation with international relations. The country declares itself a friend and partner of all countries in the international community, regardless of their political affiliation, by actively taking part in international and regional cooperative development projects. Mirhaime has close economic and military relations with [[Volscina]], with which it maintains a security alliance. In April, 2022, Mirhaime, along [[Volscina]], [[Sarvimaa]], and [[Antora]] formed the [[Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance]] in response to increased concerns about global and regional security, particularly in the face of the 2022 [[Rodenia]]-[[Axdel]] Crisis.
=== Domestic law enforcement ===

The ''Constitution of the Mirhaimian Realm'' is the supreme law of the country, and consists of written text and unwritten conventions. The ''Constitution Act, 1650'', affirmed governance based on parliamentary precedent and divided powers between the federal and provincial governments. The ''Realm Charter of Rights and Freedom'' drafted in the same year as the Constitution guarantees basic rights and freedoms that usually cannot be over-ridden by any government—though a notwithstanding clause allows the Saedikar and the state legislatures to override certain sections of the ''Charter'' for a period of five years.
Domestic security in Mirhaime is provided mainly by the Realm Public Security Forces managed which performs the function of state management of security, order and social safety; counterintelligence; crime prevention investigation; fire prevention and rescue; execution of criminal judgments, judgment enforcement not subject to imprisonment, custody or temporary detention; legal protection and support; State management of public services in sectors and fields under the Department's state management.
The federal government provides specialized services and is responsible for the protection of the Mirhaimian border. Throughout Switzerland, the police may be reached by the emergency telephone number 3-6-3. The Special Assault Security Forces comprises national-level counter-terrorism tactical units that cooperate with territorial-level Anti-Firearms Squads and Counter-NBC Terrorism Squads. The Lethal Weapons Possession Control Law strictly regulates the civilian ownership of guns, swords and other weaponry.
The requirements to be an officer in Mirhaime vary by Ha, whose responsibility it is to institute the police service, some of the requirements include a complete high school education or 3 year vocational education, aged approximately 20–30 years of age, absence of a criminal record, completion of military service, a minimum height requirement, a Category B driver's licence, computer and keyboard literacy, foreign language skills, proper health and ocular health status, and Mirhaimian citizenship.
Mirhaime has 369 detention facilities with a total capacity of up to 2 million detainees, all operated by individual Ha. The smallest prison is the Haifan Recreational Facility with a capacity of two detainees.
=== Gun politics ===

With gun ownership explicitly stated in the ''1650 Constitution'' Mirhaimian gun culture is considered to be unique amongst Novaran countries. Firearms are widely used in Mirhaime for self-defense, hunting, and recreational uses, such as target shooting.
