Dani de Launay

Dani de Launay (born 18 November 1952, age ; alternatively spelt Dani deLaunay) is a Canadish politican who served as the 15th prime minister of Canadia, between 2006 and 2016. During the same time she was, and still is, the leader of the Good Party, a liberal political party and one of the major parties in Canadish politics.
Dani de Launay grew up in the county town of Taylorswood in Foradacia, and attended the University of Foradacia. After graduating in 1978 with a degree in politics, deLaunay worked at a family friend's hotel in Holland Wood as a cleaner. While in Holland Wood, deLaunay witnessed, at the Holland Wood Centre, Democratic candidate Sheldon Hingston's campaign launch during the 1986 election, and was inspired to join a political party. In 1990, a chance came when she became a founding member of the Good Party, then led by Fabian Forrest. deLaunay quickly rose through the ranks of the party, eventually becoming deputy leader of the party. Forrest's resignation in 2004 gave deLaunay a chance to shine. Come the 2006 election, deLaunay would reform the Good Party's policies to be more appealing to new voters and voters disgruntled with Gerald King's one-term tenure as prime minister of Canadia. This worked impressively, and deLaunay was swung into power as Canadia's first female prime minister.
During her first term, deLaunay had to deal with the looming threat of terrorism, particularly from the Jonathian Union, a group who aimed to cede South Canadia and Wellow from Canadia and reunite it with Jonathia. deLaunay's 2008 statement calling the J.U's leader Franz Kertfoll a "threat to international security" prompted a long and drawn-out conflict between the Canadish military and the J.U., which soon culminated in 2021 with two separate civil wars - the Canadish Civil War and the War on Terror. deLaunay also called for better worker's rights, and raised concern about environmental issues and climate change. Throughout her term, deLaunay remained popular with Canadish citizens, being reelected in 2011 in a landslide victory.
DeLaunay's second term opened with the collapse of both the Democratic and Socialist parties. Her tenure continued on for the next five years, overseeing repair efforts after an earthquake in Wellow in 2012, and the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2013. Opening 2016 was the outbreak of Ebola in northern Canadia, which faltered deLaunay's ratings in the polls. Despite this, deLaunay was still projected as the winner of the next election. However, the SDP, led by Mark Gänston, ended up winning in a surprise victory, denying deLaunay a third term. deLaunay still runs the Good Party to this day, though this was threatened with a leadership challenge in 2019. deLaunay and her party have backed Gänston and his government during it's tenure, though the party did not agree to a coalition with the SDP due to the party's starkly different policy proposals.
