Sky Haliat

== Sky Haliat ==
=== Early Life ===
Sky Haliat was born in Calaver, the capital of the New Republic of Calaveria in the Summer of 41VE. He grew up without knowledge of his parents, and lived in a Calaverian apartment on his own, which he afforded by working in cactus farming.
=== Entry to Politics ===
When he turned 18, he joined the DSPC, creating posters for their 53VE senate campaign. Many of his posters were hits among the inner-party, however his later works during the campaign created great divide among the Calaverian people, as he responded harshly to many FLP posters that targeted the DSPC as being "undemocratic" and "a threat to democracy". The conflict escalated until Chancellor Valentin and Senator Marcus Aelius forced the removal of Haliat's posters from the campaign cycle.
During the 53VE election season, Haliat began working for the Department of Economy and Trade under Chancellor Valentin, however after the elections ended Valentin felt comfortable enough with appointing Haliat as the secretary of the department, despite him being a member of the Chancellor's rival party.
=== The Department of Economy and Trade ===
When Haliat took the position of Secretary of Economy and Trade in the Fall of 53VE, he was the sole worker in the department. His first work as secretary was the creation and documentation of the contemporary national budget, assigning each department a fixed percentage of the national treasury to use each month.
After establishing a national budget, he began implementing programs that fit his party's end goal of a centralized social-market economy, while staying true to the Valentin administration's policies. He created the Calaverian Capital Grant Fund, a fund taken from the federal treasury to provide capital for new businesses in the Calaverian Republic. He also researched what markets were currently thriving in Abexilas, and how Calaveria could capitalize on their success. As of now, the main exports of the Republic are XP and Kelp.
After the stepping down of Chancellor Valentin, Haliat continued to work as Secretary of Economy and Trade under Chancellor Constantine Brusilov and Vice-Chancellor Marcus Aelius.
=== Campaign for Parliament ===
Following the new constitution passed in 59VE, Sky Haliat set his eyes on the DSPC seat in the new Calaverian Parliament. He is currently running under the DSPC for a seat to represent the Calaverian people.
=== Real-World Work ===
