===Auroran Pacific War===
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 thirdfifth 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 thirdfifth term; and had that been successful the first person to serve the office for potentially 21 years".
 
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.
