Curry von Bismarck

= Curry von Bismarck =
Curry von Bismarck is a prominent Adorian Politician. Nobody knows for sure when he joined, only that it was quite early in Adoria, with him witnessing some of the earliest presidencies, though he was not politically active back then. He eventually entered the scene when he moved from Hussaria to Aklanos and ran as for Deputy Governor there. Eventually, Synaro was formed, and Bismarck remained active in various parties. 
=== Elections and Offices ===
On the 30th of October 2021, Bismarck acted as the runner-up to the President-Elect Daniel, together with his running mate, Venatorsteel. Between May 7th, 2022 and May 22nd 2022, Bismarck served as Lt. Governor of Synaro for Fox of the Sea, before retiring due to personal matters. Bismarck became Governor himself on May 28th, 2022, immediately beginning work on infrastructure and security reforms. This term put him in charge during 2022's PMA uprising that began on the 4th of June. With the federal government withholding the national guard, Bismarck saw himself forced to declare a state of emergency two days later. The Poli Battalion, a legal militarised police force, was deployed in force, supplemented by the impromptu militia known as "The Adorian Oathkeepers", and a detachment of volunteers, mostly nationalists and moderate socialists. The emergency extended now Lord Protector Bismarck's term until he voluntarily reinstituted elections. He continued to fight the PMA in the streets of San Synaro and was wounded in the process, before being abducted by federal special forces. On June tenth he expanded his powers with the Third Constitution of Greater Synaro, allowing him to combat the terrorists more effectively. On June 21st, CJ Zedong would issue a cease and desist ordering the Synaro Government to suspend its Home Raids Act until its constitutionality could be determined. This Synaro law made it legal for the provincial government to raid houses on the suspicion of being a rebel. Governor von Bismarck would announce the province would be complying. A VONC against him would be initiated in Synaro however it would fail to reach the required 2/3rds. Eventually he retired on the 9th of July, after two official, but lengthened terms, due to his injuries and disappointment in the federal government. Between June 30th and the 3rd of July, Bismarck also occupied the position of Minister of Infrastructure, Transport and Energy, which he retired from to stay with his people in Synaro. On August 6th, 2022, Curry von Bismarck briefly moved to Libeccio to serve as the Lt. Governor of Karl IV, serving for two weeks. On the 23rd of August 2022 he was again appointed Minister of Infrastructure, Transport and Energy until the 18th of September. On the 19th of September, after having been Vice Commissioner for Earthly T. Masterson, the position was passed to him and he ruled until retiring before the next elections due to health problems. He returned to Synaro on the 3rd of October 2022, serving until the 24th of October. He then retired from politics, before returning on the 16th of July 2023 to be elected to the National Assembly by the Progress Party, and to be elected Commissioner of Synaro on the 20th.
=== Royal Claims ===
Curry von Bismarck, formally Curry von Bismarck-Birdo-Doukas-Roosevelt is considered a legitimate claimant to the vacant Adorian throne, and was considered for it during the brief restoration of the monarchy. He has a claim to both the Szani and Roosevelt royal lines via his relations to the houses of Birdo-Szani and Roosevelt, as well as a claim to the Eastern Roman Empire, and by extension a recognized claim to Synaro, through the otherwise extinct greek Doukas dynasty. 
=== Party Membership ===
Bismarck was originally a member of the Social Democratic Party, but has since switched parties several times. He has been a member of the Adorian Rightist Party, Christian Solidarity Movement, the Adorian Reform Party, a founding leader of the Adorian Federalist Party, Adorian Labour Restoration Party and a founding leader of the Confederate Democratic Alliance. He also has run as an independent for various offices. 
=== Other Political and relevant Activities ===
Aside from his involvement in the Assembly and as a Governor, Bismarck has also founded two Special Interest Groups: The Order of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, a Catholic Monastic Order and charity based in Synaro, and the Association for Peace, Freedom and Justice, a group advocating for human rights and investigations against corrupt officials. Furthermore he had a small business empire, being the CEO of Bismarck United Services, which managed AdorWays, AdorTronics and AdorNet, leading railway, electronics and communications companies. He did not however take much money for himself, paying most to his employees or funding public projects. Unfortunately, his appointed managers proved unable to run the companies, and nationalisation finalised the destruction of his business.
=== Political Leanings ===
Overall, Curry von Bismarck is something of a centrist. He does not avow extremism and especially detests federal overreach, but does so for pragmatic reasons, and due to his trauma from being abandoned by the army during the PMA uprisings. He simply has little faith left in the federal administration. He describes himself as a slightly economically left-leaning, statist and conservative patriot, but also emphasises that primarily, he wants what is best for the people, and is open to working with anyone who will see to their prosperity. He has shown time and time again that he will apply authoritarian methods when necessary, but also has liberalised his province and given up his power in Synaro before. He has always abided by direct democracy and fought human rights violations. Recently he has campaigned against presidential powers, excessive smoking and drinking, and the sorry state of Adorian labour laws, proposing bills to help the disabled and poor. He has also written the third and fifth constitutions of the Republic of Synaro
