===List of Presidents===

'''1st - Veronica Zanetti''' (FPP) 3051-3065: Partisan Leader turned First President, Zanetti was far more charismatic and visionary than many of her other contemporaries and is seen as the mother of the nation. 

'''2nd - Eduardo Cazador''' (FPP) 3065-3070: An old and moderate statesman, Cazador was Zanetti's choice as her successor. However, he failed to find widespread popularity with the general populace or the revolutionary old guard. 

'''3rd - Eric Fierro''' (FPP) 3070-3077: A radical revolutionary Eric Fierro turned his Presidency into a reign of terror, targeting cultural, religious and intellectual elites. His Presidency lead to a shift in power within the military and he was eventually removed by the military by force, dying not too long after under mysterious circumstances. 

'''4th - Ana Kovac''' (FPP) 3077-3080: Ana Kovac was President Fierro's VP. She was essentially a puppet for a council of Military Generals who were mostly concerned with crushing rebellions within the nation and her Presidency was essentially a junta. 

'''5th - Osman Beganovich''' (VHP) 3080-3084: A former general, Osman Begonovich won wide support for his election, running on a platform of security. Osman spent his entire term finishing off rebellious groups within the nation - however he was assassinated by said rebels before finishing his term. 

'''6th - Sanda Cruz''' (VHP) 3084-3095: President Begonavich's assassination allowed Sanda Cruz, his VP, to win the next election on a platform of security and increased moral firmness. Sanda Cruz ruled through an invasion of outside forces and was extremely harsh, both before and after, in her prosecution of the war - though popular while prosecuting it, she eventually was ousted in a coup late in her third term by citizens upset with her highly conservative and morally strict rule and the austerity that followed. Despite leaving in this way, many hardliners in the nation look back fondly upon her reign. 

'''7th - Giotto Alagona''' (VHP) 3095-3095: Ruling for less than a year, Giotto Alagona simply maintained the position of Presidency - he agreed to cut a deal with the revolutionaries where he would remain as President to transition power in the next election. Though he did attempt to weasel out of his deal and make a bid in that election, he was handily defeated. 

'''8th - Derrick Murphy''' (FPP) 3095-3100: A General who helped save the nation from the invading mercenaries, Murphy was an incredibly popular choice for President. However he constantly clashed with the FPP and, tired of politics, refused to stand for reelection after just one term. 

'''9th - Clemence Esperenza''' (FPP) 3100-3105: President Esperenza was an attempt to find a suitably popular replacement to President Murphy - having both military experience, and a background in film and as a model, she was seen as a sure success. However, scandals relating to her personal life, and her surprisingly vehement revolutionary views lead her to lose wide popular support. After losing her second election handily she attempted to stage a coup but was put under house arrest by the military. 

'''10th - Adan Villa ''' (VHP) 3105-3108: A military man, and another veteran of the war, Villa was an attempt by the VHP to copy the high popularity of President Murphy. Villa died of a heart condition partly into his first term. Some VHP members who remembered the death of Osman Beganovich assumed this was an assassination and began riots - a few hardliner military members even attempted a coup with the vague intention of forcing the FPP to admit to an assassination, which was put down in the streets by VP bin Hapsah. 

'''11th - Siti bin Hapsah''' (VHP) 3108-3110: A Placeholder for the dead Villa, the mild-mannered but charismatic bin Hapsah was disliked by his own party who pressured him against running for reelection - many resented him for restoring order by fighting against some of his own party members, albeit the more radical ones. However, he still campaigned for his party after stepping down, helping get his successor elected. 

'''12th - Milan Jovanovich''' (VHP) 3110-3120: A former businessman who became President on promising economic reforms, Milan Jovanovich was somewhat popular in his first term, but his popularity plummeted in his second after constant corruption scandals.

'''13th - Mizuki Pierce''' (FPP) 3120-3130: From a family of Draconis refugees, and a protege of Derrick Murphy, Mizuki Pierce proved to be a popular President who reversed the poor fortunes of the FPP. Her "Trifecta" platform of social programs, cultural development and military reforms led her to be widely popular. Her rule served as a very stable period. 

'''14th - Serafino Campo''' (FPP) 3130 - Present: After the popularity of President Pierce, 'El Presidente' Campo had an easy first term but has turned to increasingly authoritarian means to curb opposition to guarantee himself a long and glorious rule. His strong connection with the military has managed to prevent much opposition - in 3150 he would start his fourth term, the most of any President so far, to mixed reactions from the general populace.
