He wasand [[Leader of the [[MBE Conservatives (MBE)|ConservativeLeader of the PartyPrinciples]] from 2004 untilto 2019.

Walter Johannes identifiesidentified as a [[wikipedia:Liberal conservatism|Liberalliberal Conservativeconservative]]., Heand is only the second Primeprime Ministerminister in Morstaybishlian history to serve over ten years, alongside [[Ian Crowcasa]].
 
Johannes was born in 1971, and raised in Monneharrigon. andHe attended Monneharo Bridge University before servingenlisting in the air force during the [[Meremaa Civil War]]. AfterHe thewould warlater hegraduate graduateduniversity and establishedestablish a successful financial holdings company, and in 1996 wasfound appointedemployment as a specialist advisor to the Secretary of State for the Home DepartmentSecretary Verhmar Feligon, and later as a specialist advisor to Prime Minister [[RamsayArzhel LogrinDillow]]. Johannes was a prolific critic of [[Verlhanz Rothgerus|Rothgerus]]'s handling of the [[Great Morstaybishlia#State of Morstaybishlia|State of Morstaybishlia]] and [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian Succession War]], something that would propel him into Podite leadership and then win him a landslide at the [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005 general election]]. His rhetoric and strong nationalist sentiment of unity is a contributing factor to his electoral success in a record four elections; 2005, [[2012 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2012]], 2014 and [[2017 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2017]]. Between 2012 and 2014, Johannes formed a coalition government with [[Johnny von Hague]]'s Farmers Union Party (FUP) after a hung parliament.
 
His premiership began with inheriting a near decade long recession that started in 1996. He was known for [[State of Morstaybishlia|defeating the State of Morstaybishlia]], his austerity measures which aimed at reducing the deficit in government finances, reforms in policing and crime in the Crime and Policing Act 2008, the [[Bishlan|Bishlan Tunnel]], and creating [[Threat Relay and Incident Demand of Extreme National Turmoil|TRIDENT]]. Johannes oversaw the Acts of Union 2016, which formally integrated [[Jusdelva]] as the fourth constituent country within Great Morstaybishlia, and defeated the fascist Matriarch [[Amalda Harimann]] and President [[List of heads of state of Ethalria#Ethalrian Empire (2017)|Erwina Pipenz]] in the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]]. Johannes dissolved the [[Ethalria (Republic)|Republic of Ethalria]] and [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]] into the six successor states of the [[Ethalns]], implementing various systems of governanance including the Kalmington System in four of them, and oversaw the [[Auroran Reunification Summit]], which saw the creation of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent|UNAC]], the successor of the [[Auroran Continental Assembly|ACA]] and [[Auroran Union]].
From 2003 to 2004, Johannes heavily scrutinised the government handling of the [[State of Morstaybishlia]], and later won the party election and became Leader of the Opposition. His rhetoric and strong nationalist sentiment of unity is a contributing factor to his electoral success in a record four elections; [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005]], [[2012 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2012]], [[2014 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2014]] and [[2017 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2017]].
 
Though his economic policies saw a decline in short-term [[Wikipedia:Gross domestic product|GDP]], saw life expectancy stop growing and even begin to fall in some parts of what is today [[Valeria]], saw the carbon cuts and affordable housing targets missed, saw family [[Wikipedia:Disposable and discretionary income|disposable incomes]] fall, among many others; Johannes saw an unprecidented rise in employment, oversaw many geopolitical changes in Aurora and the world, and is widely seen as Aurora's most influential politician of the century so far.

==Political career==
In 1992, Johannes resumed his university studies at Monneharo Bridge University. He graduated in 1996 with a Masters in politics and international relations. He moved into a one bedroom apartment in his home city of Monneharrigon and established a successful financial holdings company. Already a member of the [[MBEPrinciples Conservativesof Democracy Party|ConservativePrinciples Party]], he was appointed as a junior specialist advisor to the Secretary of State for the Home Department Verhmar Feligon. In 1997 he became a specialist advisor to Prime Minister [[RamsayArzhel LogrinDillow]]. In the run up to the [[1998 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|1998 general election]], Johannes indicated he was running for the new Monneharrigon constituency and RamsayArzhel LogrinDillow commended him as "always modest, whom brings with him a coruscating sense of style and understanding". Johannes was elected to the House of Representatives.

Johannes beat his rival, [[MBECivic DemocratsParty (MBE)|DemocratCivic]] Freya Libden in the [[1998 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|1998 General Election]] with a 3/4 majority vote. He became Shadow Secretary of State for Morstaybishlia in 2000, Shadow Home Secretary in early 2001 and Chairman inof the Conservative PartyPrinciples in late 2001. He dropped Shadow Secretary of State in 2003 and Shadow Home Secretary in 2004. He became the Leader of the Conservative PartyPrinciples after the retirement of Samminel Herinchaw. He went on to win the [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005 General Election]] in a landslide 476 seat victory, succeeding [[MBEProgress LabourParty (MBE)|LabourProgress]] Leader [[Verlhanz Rothgerus]]; and became the youngest person to hold the office Prime Minister ever (age 33), beating [[Orson Klarass]] (age 35) who had held the record for 87 years since the position was established.

Johannes declared war on the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]] on 31 May 2017 for the assassination of [[Prince Thadeus, Duke of Horkalo|Prince Thadeus]]. His opinion polls were the highest in his time in office at this time, and Johannes successfully ended the fascist reign of [[Amalda Harimann]], though he had faced backlash from political opponents such as Leader of the Opposition [[Franklin Barvata]] for his "use of soldiers like cannon fodder" and for destabilising the [[Ethalns]]. Though the war was successful, its rapid mobilisation and state of total war had left the economy in recession. Following the war, Johannes released the Five Year Post-War Plans and had promised the nation an era of internal development. A year later, [[Rodenia]] fell into civil war and Johannes broke several promises in the plans by getting involved, supporting the right-wing [[Kirk Santon]] over the socialist and communist revolutionaries. Johannes successfully ended the war and Santon was appointed as Protector of the Realm. Johannes supported Santon through establishing a provisional government. At the same time, Johannes campaigned across the MBE for the [[2019 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2019 General Election]] to be elected for an unheard of third term, though with a dampened opinion poll and his political opponent Barvata faring better in the polls, The Conservatives eventually lost the election by 250 seats. Johannes stated that it was "A dream of mine to become the first Prime Minister elected for a third term; and had that been successful the first person to serve the office for potentially 21 years".
 
===Auroran Pacific-Cerenerian War===
Johannes came away from the limelight after his election defeat. His mother had fallen ill and Johannes took a lot of time from work to care for her, though he refused to step down or resign as an MP and turned up for votes and some of the more important chamber debates. When Vanessa died on 12 November 2019, Johannes resumed his full time profession.
