Johannes was born in 1971 and raised in Monneharrigon. He attended Monneharo Bridge University before enlisting in the air force during the [[Meremaa Civil War]]. He would later graduate university and establish a successful financial holdings company, and in 1996 found employment as a specialist advisor to the Home Secretary Verhmar Feligon, and later as a specialist advisor to Prime Minister [[
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 [[
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.

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 fifth term, though with a dampened opinion poll and his political opponent Barvata faring better in the polls, The Principles 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 fifth term; and had that been successful the first person to serve the office for potentially 20 years".
