Marcus Lyon Pierce OC (14 September 1949 – 8 December 2033) was the 3rd Prime Minister of Craftia, serving from 31 December 1990 to 26 September 1995.
Regarded as a centrist and populist prime minister, Pierce was the founder and first leader of the Craftia Conservation Party (now the Craftian Conservative Party), which was founded in February 1990. The small party quickly gained popularity over the larger and older Protection of Craftia Party, which Pierce had previously been a member of from 1987 to 1990. After severing ties with the right-wing Protection Party in 1989 he remained in the Craftian House of Representatives for a year as an independent until the formation of the centre-right Conservation Party, where his popularity soared from his outspoken personality and criticism of the federal judicial system. His party organised a coalition with the Protection Party and Pierce was selected by Prime Minister Edwin Stevenson as his successor.
