Line 296:
With the resignation, and death of the former Paragon, the Carwal administration was slowly dismantled as Premier Broin assumed the position of Paragon till the Saekari could organize a nationwide vote to elect a new individual to assume the office. An emergency election was announced in April by the both chambers of the Saekar, and was set to conclude on September of the same year.
The political fallout of the coup tarnished the reputation of candidates previously affiliated with the Carwal Administration, and allowed pro-reformation liberal groups headed by Jalo R. SIinkar nar Pankow'ka, the former Mayor of the city of Pankow, to skyrocket in popularity. Subsequently, on April 5, 1964, SIinkar announced his candidacy for the paragonship nomination. Though some questioned Siinkar's age and political experience, his charisma, eloquence and familial history as the
In an attempt to challenge Siinkar's upper-hand in public perception, Saenad Majority Leader Aran Zarsan invited him to a televised debate. Siinkar accepted. The series of debates between the two candidates became the first extensive use of what would thereafter become a staple medium of Mirhaimian political campaigns—television. Broadcast live on national television all throughout April, and May, the give debates ultimately provided Siinkar's campaign with a huge boost.

Estimates suggest 93% of all eligible voters watched the first debate. The Majority Leader Aran Zarsan voters seen on their monochrome television screens seemed pale, anxious, and uneasy. He was fresh out of the hospital after being treated for an infected cut, so he donned a light-colored suit that faded into the gray background; combined with the bright studio lighting that left Zarsan perspiring, he provided a less-than-commanding presence. Siinkar, in sharp contrast, appeared calm, tanned, and telegenic.

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.

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%.
Internationally, Siinkar represented the Federation in the signing of the Valkoniemi Accord in 1967 which strengthened military cooperation between the two countries, and the intensification of Mirhaimian military presence in Sarvimaa, an act commonly recognized to be in opposition to Tretrid's growing naval presence in the Atlantian Sea. This was later reinforced by the Antien Act which established a free trade zone between the two countries, and allowed for greater ease of business by ways of the elimination of tariffs on key exports, and imports whilst simplifying travel, and the bureaucratic process involved by removing the Visa requirements. Economic, and military cooperation with the Volscine Confederacy was also increased and upheld throughout his tenure as Paragon with numerous trade, and military cooperation agreements. Chief amongst these are the
Simutaneously, however, he spearheaded efforts to normalize relations with the Kingdom of Tretrid, and allowed the resumption - and later the intensification - of trade between the two states.
===Recent history===
Line 447 ⟶ 451:
Mirhaime continues to have a particularly strong film industry, due in part to protections afforded by the government. As of 2022, Mirhaime stands amongst some of the largest exporter of films in the world. A study conducted by Cinemagraph Mirhaime showed that Mirhaimian cinema maintains a positive influence, being relatively appreciated by global audiences, particularly in countries where Mirhaimian culture is more prominent such as Sarvimaa because of nation's long standing military presence.
Apart from its strong and innovative film tradition, Mirhaime has also been a leading destination for filmmakers and actors from around the world; consequently, Mirhaimian cinema is sometimes intertwined with the cinema of foreign nations. Directors such as something something (I'll get to this later)
