Victoria Engebretsen (Born: (1994-07-11) July 11, 1994) is a Nystatinne former senator, anti-apartheid activist and current Prime Minister of Akuan State of Nystatiszna. She was first kemonomimi in pre-Ayo Hoshi presidency selected for service as a senator starting in 2018. She was select to represent her hometown of Tvillingtopplandsby in the former upper-chambers of the Senate, in 2018 after being released from a re-education center. Ideologically, like most Kurintail Democratic Party as is a democratic socialist and a religious Akuan Progressive. She is the second prime minister of Nystatiszna post-reforms of 2018, and the first prime minister of the country to be voted in a nominal democratic method. She took charge after Ayo Hoshi announced his retirement from the PM office, and became the ambassador to Vistaraland. Servicing temporary prime minister, during the tenure later being elected into the office.

Victoria was born in Tvillingtopplandsby, her mother was a middle manager of concrete plant and her father being a craftsman. Her wealthy up-bring allowed her to attend the school alongside her siblings with her, though like all kemonomimi at the time she was barred from several classes and had to attend 'Kemonomimi enhanced' only education. During her early childhood education, she organized a student walkout at age 12 to protest against the banned on Kemonomimi children from attending Vaaran language course. While the student walkout failed and she was placed under house-arrest, the result was getting attention from the Wright Family and led into her being sponsored by Hannah Wright for further education. She went to East Fantøm University for political science, and lived at the Wright's manor. She met her former husband, Ny'Morrick at the university. During her time at university, she joined the Kurintail Democratic party and the Anti-Apartheid movement. Her husband killed himself in 2016, and Victoria was later arrested during the same year for illegally occupying the bordering crossing in Fantøm.

She served two years in prison, being pardon in 2018 by executive order from Ayo Hoshi, due to pressure both from the Wright Family and Hoshi himself wanting to pardon Victoria. After being pardon, she was assigned a seat in the former upper-chamber as a senator for Tvillingtopplandsby. Where she continued to serve as a Kurintail Democratic Party member, and kept pushing for anti-apartheid measures. During Ingrid the Reclaimer Enshrinement in 2018 she lobbied the government during the reforms to become further democratic rather having a constitutional monarchy. Preferring to keep the Enshrined Spirit, contained to dealing with religious matters of the country and keeping total control of legislative powers in the hands of the parliament. Though this never came to pass, nevertheless during her tenure as member of the upper-chamber of the new 'nobility' she pushed for further democratic reforms and further inclusion of Kemonomimi into government.

Ayo Hoshi retired from his office as prime minister to better serve Nystatiszna as a ambassador in Vistaraland after the Syrtænzna Dissolution War, and during the election Victoria voted into office as PM in 2022. She brought Nystatiszna into the Red Crown Economic Union, supported Nystatinne bid for hosting ICAF world cup and supports Ingrid's Five Year Plan. She had made a effort to attempt to reform the newly created Nystatinne Military to be less strenuous on the country's budget, and placed a bigger focus on maintaining a national guard rather than a full-time professional service though she is currently dealing with push-back against such measure.

Political Ideology

Engebretsen identifies as a Akuan Democratic and a democratic socialist, though with clear Akuan influence. Victoria says she falls in more inline with a Akuan Progressive rather than a Akuan Traditionalists, stating Nystatiszna needs a functioning centralized government in order to best serves Nystatinne people. Previous methods of centralizing the government, for the last decades since post-Akuan Socialism collapse have failed because failures of the speciest and racial policies of the regimes in-charge rather than centralized nature in-itself. The ideal situation being a federal system of government with a strong central authority, would be the able to serve all 30 different ethnic groups within the country.

She is ethnically a Nykea, but as part of her policy of Nystatinne unity she prefers to be considered a ethnic Nystatinne rather than by her birth parents ethnic group. While she states she is more for creating a unified Nystatinne identity, she is strong opponent against former policies of Naylorbrookiszna and Akuan Socialist ideology of it. Wanting to establish a siblingly kinship of the ethnicities, but not go as far to replace them. Part of her policies being to unify the Nystatinne Nys'tat'en, rather having it regionalized through education and broadcasts. As well several other policies, such as establishing a unified cultural dish and reforming the Nystatinne Shrine Authority.

Political Akuanism

Engebretsen has attempt to solicitation funds from the Akuan Development Bank, Bjørn Trust and the Association of the Servants of Akua to assist with renewing as well as construction of shrines across the country. Shrine renewal and reforming the Nystatinne Shrine Authority being one of her largest platforms alongside fighting against apartheid. To mix results, while the Grand Shrine of Lilith was renewed and repaired fully, funds received didn't meet the requirement for a total renewal program she envisioned. In a effort to keep with her promise, she pressured the parliament into allocating part of the country's budget into renewing shrines, in particularly in rural and generally disconnected areas of the country. Part of the renewal program being teach a more uniformed Nystatinne Nys'tat'en and collecting various religious tales of the region to compilate formal Nystatinne Akuanism doctrine. Outside of her renewal program. Victoria lobbies for reforming the Nystatinne Shrine Authority, which is generally accepted view by Nystatinnes to be a broken institution despite it's importance in daily life in Nystatiszna. The current aim of the reforms being to create a more responsive and responsible authority, able to maintain the various shrines across the country. As well encourage a unified Nystatinne Doctrine for the country, with the Enshrined Spirit, Ingrid the Reclaimer acting as the head of the new institution in her role as the Living Shrine.

Abortion

On the issue of abortion, Victoria was against Enshrined Spirit, Ingrid the Reclaimer full ban on it. Though she is for a abortion ban, she states that incase of medical emergencies, incest or rape it should be legal. She originally state she is for a ban on abortion after two month pregnancy but later retracted her statement and maintain the stance incases of medical emergencies as well former conditions. She changed her position after facing wide-spread political pressure from across the country, as well within the legislator outright. After a failure of a narrow vote of no-confidence, on the issue and as well a attempt on her life. She vetoed the 2023 abortion ban law but the veto was overruled by the parliament.

Economy

Engebretsen is supporter of the Nystatinne Five Year Plan (also known as Ingrid's Five Year Plan), and has lobbied investors to back the project. Victoria as well, lobbied then pass law to legal trade unions within Nystatiszna and pushes for further unionization of the country. On the issue of Twin Penguin Seafoods, she has spoken out against the sell of the important company to K-RAD by Ayo Hoshi and stated her belief it should be renationalized by the government again. Being a big supporter of the Red Crown Economic Union, in particular with the agricultural advancement organization which she states will insure food security for the country and become a top exporter of grain for the region. During her tenure in the senate she lobbied for increase funding for vocational education programs to both assist with developing Nystatiszna as a whole but make Nystatinne Visa Workers more attractive for foreign companies to hire. Victoria has stated her support for Voyage Union during her time as a senator, stating it was one of the largest sources of foreign revenue for a families within the country but has stated her concerns about the firm replacing state-ran banks in the country.

Crime and Law Reform

Engebretsen has stated repeatedly throughout both her political career that the Nystatiszna legal system is breaking international law and Akuan customs. While never having spoken out against the Nystatiszna Intelligence Bureau, she has stated her opinion that Nystatiszna court system is non-existence and community policing lacks training to conduct itself properly. In 2019, she purposed a bill that would replace Nystatiszna Intelligence Bureau agents in the cities of the country with formal police officers. While the bill failed to pass parliament she has several times attempt to create a more formal and traditional policing service for the country within parliament. In 2020, she attempt lobby for prison reform which would 'bring Nystatinne prisons in-line with the rest of the world.' Her attempt to lobby support for the bill was a moderately successful, as it did require prisons to come to a bare minimum standard and enforced punishments for failing to meet such standards.

Foreign Policy

Engebretsen is generally accepted as the most accepting of foreigners in Nystatiszna politician in the modern era of the country. During her time as a senator in the former legislative upper-chamber, she argued for increasing international relations would only bring further increasing to standard of living for Nystatinnes and grow the country's economy. Being a supporter of such initiatives such as the Borea Assembly, Rotantic Diet, International Forum, Association of the Servants of Akua and the Red Crown Economic Union. The later organization, the RCEU being PM to organize and join it.

Military

Engebretsen was against the Military Creation Act of 2018, viewing the bill as lackluster and would take away much needed resources from the country. Believing Nystatiszna doesn't need a standing professional military due to its close relations with Packilvania and the Federation but is in-favor having national guard incases of emergencies or defense. After the bill was passed, she stated her disappointment but acceptance of it. Though she is still highly critical of the conscription elements of the bill, and stated her disapproval towards Ayo Hoshi for 'failing to live up to Akuan values' by passing it.
