Alekseyev VanderSchnieder

Alekseyev VanderSchnieder is a prominent politician in Yivaidal, and rose rapidly from the collapse of Yimmu-Audal, at which point he was a private citizen with little money to his name. Currently a trusted member of Yivaidal, a former Senator of Yivaidal, the short-lived Yimmu Audal Provisional Government, and the Federation of Lesser Alteniqui, and the Kingdom of Audal. A good friend of the Arraki Dynasty, he is known for his moderate republicanism, and his desire for everyone around him to calm down and talk like adults.

=== Early life ===
Alekseyev was born in Viorikh, during the rise of the Alteniqui Federation, to the leader of the town, Wilhelm. He had a good upbringing, and by the time he was of age, he considered himself an intellectual and read up on leftist books. His life would change drastically when Viorikh, along with the rest of the Alteniqui Federation, entered the Carn war on the side of Carn, and lost. After this, Wilhelm fled the country into exile, and Alekseyev, though he stayed, would not get Viorikh back, as it was integrated into Eldal Adadi. He would reside in his father's house in Eldal Adadi until a man by the name of Jiffrey came to his house and asked him if they could discuss something.
=== Time in the Nadu-Urvirra Party ===
The Nadu-Urvirra Party or "Future Progress Party" was a political rallying organization formed by Jiffrey to peacefully liberalize and modernize Yimmu Audal, and its headquarters were Fort Brot, just south of Urnu Arrak. The party's history was relatively short, it worked to industrialize and modernize the nation, and one of its last act was to help prepare for a war with Charm.
=== Collapse of Yimmu-Adual ===
The Collapse of Yimmu Audal shocked all but the upper echelons of power, as to them it had been a long time coming. The leaders first of Theionikos, then of Anosphey, left Yimmu Audal, and the Emperor at the time, Trev, declared it dissolved. He then founded the short-lived realm of Utari, encompassing Audal and Talor, which would last until November, just about. During this time, some individuals, including most of the top brass of the Party, joined what was called the YAPG or Yimmu Audal Provisional Government, which was exactly what it sounded like. It operated by a Senate, which was comprised of all of the Mayors within the YAPG. Despite this, most used this not as an opportunity to reform Yimmu Audal, but rather as a vessel by which they would expand their power. During this, Alekseyev was able to obtain the region north of Eldal Adadi and Viorikh, known as Dahomey by the natives. He developed a town in the region into his capital, and used this as well as a vessel for his political ambitions. Utari would as well collapse after Trev and MST, a Regent in Yimmu Audal, began to argue.
=== Audalad Civil War ===
After Utari collapsed, Audal shattered into splinter states. Well, collapsed isn't exactly the right word, as they retained control over Talor, but in the eyes of all Audal, the Arkendol il Utari was no more. In response, the YAPG formed the FLA, or the Federation of Lesser Alteniqui, the name of which stemmed from the idea of a "Lesser Alteniqui" region, which encompassed the Southeast of Audal. The FLA followed the same Senatorial system as the YAPG, however it implemented Consuls, who would be the executives of the nation. Along with the FLA, there was also the Kingdom of Audal or the KoA, Amos, and an independent Urnu Arrak. Over the course of the bloodless Civil War, which was mostly just towns trading allegiances and claim coups, the KoA amassed the least power, however they still controlled Eldal Adadi, which, based on Urnu Arrak's current reputation as a ghost town, gained the honor of being the most important city in Audal. This resulted in a deal between the FLA, the splinter state that had the most territory but fewest people, and the KoA, the splinter state that had the most people but the least territory. this resulted in the formation of the Kingdom of Audal.
=== Kingdom of Audal ===
The Kingdom of Audal was a combination of the governments of the FLA and the KoA, which resulted in an empowered King and a Senate to check their authority. This quickly went out the window as MST began to ban dissenters without Senate approval, and the state endured mass riots, one of which was led by Alekseyev himself, and eventually despite multiple successful votes of no confidence, MST held onto his throne. Eventually the people were fed up and formed the modern Kingdom of Yivaidal, and the Kingdom of Audal disintegrated.
=== Kingdom of Yivaidal ===
Yivaidal is the current state within Rathnir as of writing this, and retains the government structure of the Kingdom of Audal without MST. It has proven itself to be a quite stable Kingdom, all things considered, and is well on its way to modernity. Alekseyev VanderSchnieder was a Senator in it until elections for the position were finally held, and he was removed from power. Otherwise, he remains a proponent of a Market-Socialist Authoritarian Democracy to this day.
