Pascal Wechter

Pascal James Wechter (11 March 1875 - 6 July 1963) was a Canadish politician aligned with the Democratic Party. He served as the eighth prime minister of Canadia, from October of 1950 to June of 1951. He remains to this day the shortest-serving prime minister in Canadish history. Wechter inherited Canadia during the post-War period. Despite his efforts to stabilise the nation, his popularity waned, and by 1951 he lost the election to Socialist candidate Nelson Wesselman in a landslide.
Wechter was born to working parents in Dinsmark, North Belka, and his original job was as a baker. After the rise of Canadia, Wechter became interested in politics, and left Dinsmark for Jumanji. During his time at the University of Jumanji, Wechter studied law and politics. After graduating in 1920, Wechter joined the Democratic Party. He got on well with then-party leader Danyon Foss, and was soon promoted to Secretary of Foreign Affairs. In 1940, Wechter travelled to Fiberia to negotiate with Blostia the creation of what would later become the United Front.
After the war ended, Wechter was promoted to deputy prime minister. While in this position, Wechter initiated the Rebuild Canadia program, to try and assist in the rebuilding of locations affected by the Great War. Wechter later became prime minister on October 10th, 1950, after the incumbent, Brady Bassin, committed suicide. Wechter's appointing as prime minister did result in a brief spike in the Democrats' popularity, but by election time his popularity had dissipated. Wechter's few accomplishments during his brief term in office led to his nickname 'post-War Pascal', in reference to the silence from the Canadish government in the months following the signing of the Treaty of Wollings.
After leaving office, Wechter retired from politics and moved back to Dinsmark. There he would start the Pascal Wechter Society, a non-profit organisation dedicated to giving young people opportunities in life. Wechter passed away in 1963 from prostate cancer.
