'''Shano Tuvria''' (b. 19 February 1961—d. 17 January 2022; name sometimes given as "'''Šano Šonai Tuvria'''" or "Shano Tõvria") iswas the former Secretary-General of the [[International Forum]], elected on February 18th, 2021 and serving until August 15th, 2021. He was the first [[orc]] to serve in that position. Prior to serving as Secretary-General, Tuvria was the Prime Minister of [[Tavaris]] from 2017-2021. He iswas considered to be the primary architect and diplomatic force behind the [[Alliance of Northwest Gondwana]], whose negotiations he initiated in 2018. He also oversaw a normalization of relations with [[Bana]] and brought them into the ANG in 2020.
 
As Prime Minister of Tavaris, Tuvria 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. Tuvria passed away due to complications from the illness on January 17th, 2022.

==Spelling of Name==
 
Tuvria hashad gone by a number of different ways to spell his name over the course of his life. These include "Šano Šonai Tuvria" and "Shano Tuvria" most prominently, but he has also used Shano Shonai Tuvria, Šano Tuvria, and Shano Tõvria in occasional contexts. Additionally, the current Tavari orthographical standard (as of 2021) would call for his name to be spelled "Šano Tõvria." Indeed, it iswas changing spelling standards, set by a Tavari government body known as the Council of the Tavari Language, that arewere the main cause for his changes in name. The Council has announced new spelling standards twice duringover the course of his lifetime, including the 1987 change of "Sh" to the single letter "Š" and the 2021 change of the letter "u" to "õ," a letter borrowed from the [[wikipedia:Estonian language|Rodokan language]] used to transcribe the same vowel sound.
 
While Tavari law entirely exempts names from changes in Tavari spelling, meaning that no individual is required to change their name to reflect that a letter has been changed in Tavari spelling, Tuvria has said that he chose to do it anyway "because it felt like the right thing to do." His most recent change was in 2021, during his term as [[International Forum]] Secretary-General, when he changed from "Šano Šonai Tuvria," the name he had used as Prime Minister of Tavaris, to "Shano Tuvria," a spelling he had used earlier in his life. In an interview with the ''Nuvrenon Sunday Magazine'', Tuvria remarked that "it can be rather hard for non-Tavari speakers to get a good handle on how Tavari names work" and said that he changed his name as Secretary-General primarily because people kept spelling the previous name incorrectly. "It got to be a bit annoying, so I decided to just go with something simpler."
 
Famously, Tuvria's name was misspelled in a diplomatic cable from [[Packilvania]] to the International Forum after that body rejected Packilvania's application for membership. The letter, notably reading only "There will be no peace on this planet,"<ref name="PAX1">{{cite web|url=https://forum.theeastpacific.com/viewtopic.php?p=245548#p245548|title=Official Communication of Packilvania|date=May 11, 2021}}</ref> was addressed to "Shano Tuvrai," which Tuvria remarked he had "never gotten before."
