Jean-Antoine Guequierre

Jean-Antoine Guequierre, Count of Balranico (7th March 500AER) is a Falleen Liberal Democratic and Democratic politician and statesman. 
As Chancellor, he is leading the post-Lecter wartime government.
Before his term as Chancellor, he served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Lecter wartime government, Rhys-Darby government, Miliband government and the Chastel interim government. His policy during most of his terms was that of non-interventionist and conciliatory approach to the arch-rival of the Empire, the Golden Empire. But during the war with the Shiha and it's allies, he was one of the major factors in the implementation of the Alliance's war plan. 
Guequierre is also the chief architect of the code of Law of the Empire and the several other constitutional instruments (mainly the Representation of States Act). 
==Early life==
Guequierre was born to Joseph and Aurélie Guequierre in Tapanuo on the 7th of March 500AER. The family was under public scrutiny due to Joseph's brother Eduard's declaration of regency and the ensuing civil war. But soon that all ended and Jean continued to enjoy life as an upper middle class child. 
At the age of 18 he went to study law and political science at the University of Corrintrin and got his degree four years later. During his time at the university he met several individuals who would later become major figures on the liberal side of politics. One such individual would be Harold Saxon.
Jean was also very vocal in youth politics and suprisingly a critic of his father's right-of-centre social policies, but still his supporter. 
==Early political and legal career== 
In 526AER he was appointed public prosecutor in Balranico after three years in many legal posts around the state. 
In 527AER he resigned the post to pursue a political career and he was elected deputy for Val d'Balran's 5th constituency in the National Assembly of Balbarno. He also held the post of Minister of Justice for Balbarno in which he started work on the Constitution of Balbarno, which is still in use today. 
in 529AER he was elected deputy to the federal Chamber of Deputies and later became Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Interim government of Dillon Chastel. He served in that capacity three times since the interim government. 
==Chancellor (542AER-)== 
After the election of 542AER which saw the Democratic Movement make significant gains and emerge as the largest party, he formed a government with UKIP and the Civic Platform at it's core. The government is a minority government but is supported by several smaller parties. He has insisted that his government was given a wartime mandate by the people and will thus not do significant social legislation. 
He has however been vocal in supporting the return of democracy to the colonies and he has also been a supported of the idea that colonies should no longer be referred to as such. A bill is set to be proposed soon in parliament.
