Sir '''Shano Tuvria''', RAK, ΣT (b. 19 February 1961—Present; name sometimes given as "'''Šano Šonai Tuvria'''" or "Shano Tõvria")
As Prime Minister of Tavaris, Tuvria oversaw a normalization of relations with the [[Federation of Bana]] and also negotiated an agreement with [[Vistaraland]] for the purchase of nuclear warheads and to jointly develop new weapon designs in the future. This was in addition to the nascent Tavari nuclear program, begun in 2012, which he revealed to the public along with the Vistari agreement in 2021. The agreement was highly polarizing across the Tavari political spectrum, and led to the failure of his governing coalition and snap elections in February 2021. While his party won with a vastly increased number of seats, allowing it to attain a majority alone, Tuvria announced 8 days after his re-election that he would be resigning from Parliament and accepting the job of Secretary-General of the International Forum. He was succeeded by his Deputy Prime Minister, the politically popular [[Žarís Nevran Alandar]].
Tuvria served as Secretary-General for a full six-month term in that office and presided over the General Council as it passed such legislation as a nuclear non-proliferation treaty, a declaration of apartheid as a crime against sapient-kind, and acts establishing the Global Health and Solidarity Organization, the International Cultural Heritage Organization, and the Global Development Bank and Trade Organization. Due to a diagnosis of stomach cancer, he declined to run for a second term.
Line 62 ⟶ 68:
On January 17th, 2022, it was reported by Tuvria's then-wife, Linda, that he had passed away from complications due to stomach cancer. Unbeknownst to all but Linda Šonai Tuvria and four accomplices, Tuvria was not dead, and had in fact been smuggled out of the country and into the [[Danvreas]], with his body replaced by a double. Linda had bribed her husband's supervising physician to place him in a medically induced coma and to declare him dead, out of an apparent desire to prevent him from returning to his political career, the stress of which she blamed for his cancer. In fact, Tuvria's cancer was in remission. Tuvria spent some eight months in the Danvreas, in captivity and then on the run trying to escape. He was apprehended on August 25th, 2022, by Banian border patrol officials after trying to swim the Miku River into Bana, and returned to Tavaris.
Since returning, Tuvria initially remained largely out of the public eye. He is currently residing at the Prime Minister's Official Residence as a guest of Žarís Nevran Alandar, and has been seen regularly attending monthly services and other community events at the nearby [[Akronism|Akronist]] Temple of the Sacred Mandate, where he had occasionally attended services while serving as Prime Minister. He reportedly briefly resumed part-time work as a [[Σanivat tažnažan]], his first career before first running for office, but announced his candidacy for Secretary-General of the [[League of Novaris]] on June 14th, 2023. In his announcement, Tuvria said that he had considered permanently retiring, but determined that he was unhappy "just sitting around" and that he felt "very strongly that, knowing now just how precious life is, I should use my life to serve."
==Knighthood==
==As Prime Minister==▼
On July 10th, 2022, while Tavari officials were still under the impression that Tuvria was deceased, he was "posthumously" made a Knight of the Amethyst Order (Tavari: ''Revondran Azocažan Koσobicavi''), the country's highest honor. Knights of the Amethyst Order, established by Queen Anadra I in 1371, were originally the country's most elite warriors, entrusted with the defense of the King, but the honor gradually shifted over time to a ceremonial one celebrating achievements by both soldiers and civilians for deeds on and off the battlefield. Knights are entitled to use the title ''Sir'' in Staynish (Tavari: ''Avda'') and the postnominals "RAK." Since the 1793 Abolition of the Chiefs, Knights of the Amethyst Order are the only individuals in Tavaris who can be awarded individual crests from the Herald of the Silver Court. Tuvria's posthumous knighthood, awarded by Emperor [[Otan IV]] of the Tavari upon the nomination of Prime Minister Žarís Nevran Alandar, honored Tuvria for his "staid and steady, diplomatic leadership" that "ushered in a new era of international engagement in Tavari history," citing the normalization of relations with the [[Federation of Bana]] achieved under his tenure as Prime Minister and his achievement of being the first Tavari citizen to be elected head of the "world's leading international organization," the [[International Forum]]. When it became known that Tuvria was still alive, the Silver Court announced that it was "unclear" whether a posthumous award was valid for an individual who later turned out to be alive, and so on June 6th, 2023—the one-year anniversary of the [[Tavari Union]], an international festival called Union Day—his knighthood was "re-issued." Shano Tuvria is thus the only person in Tavari history to be awarded a knighthood twice.
For his crest, Tuvria selected the colors green and gold—the same as his alma mater, Tavaris Central University—and the emblem of two crossed macaw feathers, one of which being tipped with a pen nib, making it a σanivat's quill. The macaw is the Tavari national animal, and its feathers are heraldic symbols reserved for former Prime Ministers or members of the royal family. Additionally, the symbol of the σanivat's quill is strictly regulated under Tavari law, and only certified σanivati are permitted to represent themselves with the symbol in any context whatsoever. Tuvria's crest thus represents his status as the only Tavari Prime Minister whose private career prior to entering politics was being a σanivat tažnažan. (A handful of other Prime Ministers have also held σanivat certifications, but all these were practicing [[wikipedia:lawyer|attorneys-at-law]] who attained the certification secondarily and who did not regularly practice σanivat law.)
▲==As Prime Minister==
As Prime Minister, Tuvria prioritized bilateral trade agreements with other countries, and during his time in office launched new agreements with [[Aivintis]] and [[Durakia]]. In military affairs, Tuvria increased the level of military support Tavaris gives to the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]], sending Tavari troops to [[Rodenia]] and [[Alksearia]] to participate in UCA-led military operations. He also authorized the Tavari military to participate in the [[occupation of
Under Tuvria, a significant thaw in relations occurred between Tavaris and the [[Federation of Bana]]. The two countries agreed to "normalize" relations, meaning opening embassies and naming official ambassadors, in 2020 after some two years of talks started by Šonai Tuvria. The Federation of Bana also joined the ANG, including - like Tavaris - membership in the [[Alliance of Northwest Gondwana#Alliance Free Travel Area|Alliance Free Travel Area]]. The thaw in relations proved to be divisive among the public. The largest political demonstration in Tavaris of the 21st century, a rally in front of the Banian embassy that saw tens of thousands declare their anger about the thaw, significantly hampered Tuvria's hopes to bring the Federation of Bana diplomatically closer. The announcement in 2021 of the [[Nuclear weapons state|Tavari nuclear program]] further damaged the détente, and formal talks with the Federation of Bana have since ceased.
